More Fabulous Inspiration by our Guest Designer, Davina!

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We are one week into our Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and you guys are seriously impressing us with your creativity! There is still a full week to enter the challenge which is open until Sunday, March 17 at 11:59PM ET.

Our amazing Guest Designer, Davina joins us again today to share 2 more fabulous cards to inspire your crafting! She will tell you about her process for making these clever card designs!

“I love creating scenes from movies and books. And when I’m going through my stamp sets I’m always thinking about what else can be created with the images. I was inspired by one on my favorite childhood movies Bambi. I knew that I had images for all the main characters.

My favorite part of the movie is the “Twitterpated” spring. And I tried to recreate that meadow scene. After die cutting my panels I ink-blended the background and splattered white opaque ink on the golden sky. I stamped out all my images and colored them with Copic markers and white gel pen highlights. I wanted my cute Flower the skunk to be behind the flowers like he was in the movie, so I popped the flowers and grass up on foam tape and placed him behind.

Thumper sits atop the log from the Toadally Awesome set, Bambi is standing in front. I didn’t forget Owl who is perched on a branch whistling away. It was such a joy to create this iconic scene and I hope that you play along with the current challenge to create your own scenes.”

“I am such a lover of everything Harry Potter that I couldn’t resist making a something inspired by the Wizarding World. Honeydukes Sweet Shop is by far one of my favorite magical places.”

“After already creating two projects I wanted to try something a little different. I wanted to make a scene that would appear like I was living in the Wizarding World.  And what would the table look like upon emptying my pockets after a day in Hogsmeade Village. I’d have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, and Chocolate Frogs. There would be Droobles best blowing gum and Fizzing Wizzbees. I would have brought home a Pumpkin Pasty for later and some sweet Jelly Slugs (formerly a cute snail from Gleeful Gardens who lost him shell).”

Thank you so much, Davina! Your card art is amazing and we are so happy that you joined us for this challenge!

We have a Guest Designer for this challenge and we are so excited to introduce Marine Simon! She has been wowing us with her amazing cards and we are so happy to have her join us as our guest! You can find Marine on Instagram, YouTube and at her blog Blue Marine Craft! We know her awesome creativity will inspire you!

Marine‘s card is filled with sunny, glittery goodness! She started with a Stitched Cloud Backdrop and added a Copic colored Rainbow sprinkled with Chunky Glitter! The clouds (complete with silver linings) are from Blue Skies and the sun is from Out of This World! She finished this amazing card with a sentiment from Life is Good and scattered some stamped sparkle from Fairy Friends!

And now our amazing Design Team is here to inspire your creativity!

Who wouldn’t have an awesome day with this colorful sky up above! Samantha painted a rainbow of color then added images from Out of This World and Plane and Simple! The awesome sentiment is from Critter Concert! Check out the close up to see the cute glittery freckles on the faces of the clouds and sun!

Every bunny knows you need some Spring showers to make those yummy carrots grow! Joyce‘s sweet scene combines cuteness from Some Bunny, Upon a Star, and Plus One!

The weather forecast for Christy‘s card is clear with a chance of gnomes! She used our soon-to-be-released Oh Gnome! set combined with Gleeful Gardens, Bicycle Built for You and Gnome Sweet Gnome!

Jessica is a winter-loving girl so her extraordinary card has a gorgeous snowflake-filled night sky! The silver glitter Stitched Hillside adds to the frosty landscape for the scarf-wearing critter from Winter Skies! Ironically, the silver embossed sentiment is from our summer themed set, Life is Good!

Karin went with a snow theme as well, creating a sweet shaker card with frosty white sequins! She used Winter Skies and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Samantha‘s super cute and whimsical card features our little RAWR dino jumping in puddles after the rain! She used the soon-to-be-released set Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters on her amazing sky background!

Grace‘s card has our Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks frolicking in the rain and the sunshine! Her custom Reveal Wheel card spins from sprinkles to sun rays!

Here’s a peek behind the scenes of Grace‘s customized Reveal Wheel card.

Franci used Finley’s ABCs to spell out her adorable weather-themed sentiment on the outside and inside of her fabulous card! She used our soon-to-be-released Llama Tell You mini set to add a total cuteness factor!

Jenn‘s cheerful card features a watercolor sky on a Stitched Cloud Backdrop! She added more clouds with Simple Puffy Clouds and sunny color with our Rainbow die! For the greeting she combined a phrase from Simply Sentiments with a hello from Yay, Kites!
