- Nancy Krueger 12 Comments

Hello Fawnatics Friends! It’s time for a fresh new challenge! This time we have a Color Inspiration challenge for you based on the sweet rainbow colors of our Really Rainbow Christmas paper collection! You don’t have to use the Really Rainbow Christmas paper, just let colors inspire you! This new challenge will be open until Sunday, November 18th at 11:59PM ET. Your projects can be any theme just make sure they feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers!

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

We are so happy to have an amazing Guest Designer join us for this challenge! Please welcome Mayra Duran-Hernandez of Mayra’s Designs! We have been so inspired by her beautiful coloring and wonderfully creative card designs so we are so excited to share her gorgeous designs with you!

Mayra created a gorgeous Double Slider Surprise card and a coordinating Say What? Gift Tag with a sweet pastel color palette with happy pops of bright green! She combined images and sentiments from lots of sets including Love You a Latte, Pumpkin Spice, Holiday Helpers, Caramel Apple and Frosty Fairy Friends!

I love that Mayra created a second card with the same beautiful design but this time with gorgeous rich red in the mix!

Now let’s see how our talented Design Team was inspired by this happy color palette!

This fun Reveal Wheel card by Samantha M features Holiday Helpers wrapping gifts for everyone on the “nice list”! The Reveal Wheel Square Add-On is the perfect size for this cute scene!

Karin used the color inspiration to create a cheery Winter Village scene for our adorable Oh What Fun sleigh and Santa bear! She created a gorgeous snowy night sky with ink blending and some white paint splatters!

Joyce was inspired to create a set of colorful pastel Say What? Gift Tags! She stamped the tags with Gingham Backdrops in ink colors of Wild Rose, Moonstone, Celery Stick, Sunflower and Mermaid! She colored the Say What? Christmas Critters in colors to coordinate!

Franci got really creative and made a fun Snow Cool scene on a shaped card! She used Outside In Stitched Christmas Tree Stackables and Stitched Christmas Tree Frames to make this adorable tree-shaped card!

Franci added the cute little Snow Cool igloo on the inside along with a great sentiment from Merry Messages!

Christy‘s card incorporates the Color Inspiration brilliantly with adorable critters in a fabulous collage design! She used Toboggan Together, Beary Happy Holidays, Cheery Christmas, Winter Otter and Sealed with a Kiss!

Samantha‘s card is so happy! She colored the Frosty Fairy Friends images with Copic markers in all the colors of the challenge palette! The Really Rainbow Christmas papers create the perfect backdrop!

Jessica‘s gorgeous card uses the challenge colors sparingly in the windows of the Little Town Border in this lovely snowy landscape! The White Christmas paper from Really Rainbow Christmas looks amazing the glittery silver Stitched Snowflakes!

This wonderful greeting from Winter Big Scripty Words is the perfect sentiment for this beautiful card!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 39 tomorrow!


Christy’s Otterly Adorable Card!

Challenge 17 will be open until Sunday, December 3 at 11:59PM PT

Hey friends, Christy here with a super fun Christmas card inspired by our current challenge! I took the color palette and gave it a girly twist by adding pink into the mix. I’d been dying to ink up my Winter Otter, so I colored him with Copic markers and gave him a little candy cane to hold. So cute!

For my focal panel, I die cut a circle out of patterned paper with the Stitched Circle Stackables and added some vellum waves with Ocean Wave Borders. Since I was going girly, I absolutely had to add some of the gorgeous iridescent Chunky Glitter to the edges.

The rest of the patterned papers I die cut with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and the Stitched Journaling Card. I layered them on my card base and added my sentiment stamped in Peacock ink on an Everyday Sentiment Banner.

For a finishing touch, I added a trio of Stitched Snowflakes, with a dab of Stickles glitter glue in the centers. If you’d like to see the video tutorial for this card, please visit my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

You still have a few days to enter our Color Inspiration Board Challenge! The entries so far have been so inspiring. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you so much, Christy for sharing this decidedly feminine card! Love how you used the color inspiration!
