Lawnscaping Challenge 116 : Too Cute To Spook

Hi everyone! It's October already..this year seems past really fast (or is it just me?)

And it's time for another challenge, are you ready? Are you excited? Well, you should be.. because this time the Lawnscaping team challenge you to make a fun Halloween themed project, non spooky one!

This challenge is sponsored by Lawn Fawn.

I came with an idea of a spooky castle on a hill scene. First I decided to create a background using some of Lawn Fawn border dies. I die cut them in white cardstock then blend some ink to match the color combo that I already have in mind.

I used one of Lawn Fawn new release dye ink in one of the borders, can you make a guess?

It's SOOT! Totally in love how with how dark the gray is! Awesomeness!!

I did so many layerings for this card and it's so much fun. The critters and little ghost are from Critters in Costume and Spooktacular stamp sets.

The haunted castle on the back is from Critters Ever After, yes..I cut off the flags on the top. Hehe. 

For the night sky I blended some of my Distress Inks randomly and of course I want a starry night so I white embossed the tiny stars before the blending, just have fun doing that. :)

I hope you like today's card inspiration as much as I do. TFL <3

Hello Little Prince!

Hi crafty friends!

It's Lexa here, today I'm going to show you how I make this awesome ombre gingham background. I use some of Lawn Fawn dye inks in shades of blue.

From the left to the right, Mermaid - Peacock - Fish Tank - Deep Sea.

Don't you love how solid and vibrant the colors are?

I use my Gingham Backdrops to create my own patterned paper, it looks so cool! I really love how it turns. So I decided to create a baby boy card using Hello Baby and the older baby set, Plus One. The crown on the baby bunny is originally from the frog prince, but I cut him off. Hehe.

I mask the ground for the images to stand, using the negative of stitched hills border. For the green inks I use Freshly Cut Grass and Celery. Yes, Lawn Fawn's dye inks are perfect for both stamping and blending.

I hope you enjoy and like my card as much as I do. Good day!

Lawnscaping Challenge 115 : Sentiments

Hi it's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge! Sponsored by Ellet Hutson Inc.

Today let's play with sentiments.

For my card, I highlight the setiment using gold embossing on star shaped vellum. And also add lot of Yay! in the background.

I watercolored the four leaves clover to match the whole idea of this card. Totally love how Lawn Fawn can mix and match to accomplish the whole concept.

I hope you get some inspirations. TFL

Have a deer-ly anniversary

Hi everyone!

Firstly, I'm so honored that Lawn Fawn featured my cards..not one, but three of them! Oh my goodness.. I'm thrilled!

Lawn Fawn has been my most favorite brand of all, since I tried cardmaking about 2 years ago. So yes, I'm so happy knowing they love my cards.. Yay! :)

This one I made for Lawnscaping FIT blog hop, inspired by the color deep blue. I came with idea this little bird sailing on a boat in the middle of a deep blue sea. With a lighthouse guiding him..

For this anniversary card, I made a story that the deer couple is having their wedding in the middle of the forrest. Wood grain background, I stamped it on a cork sheet. I looove that Lawn Fawn came with a wedding stamp set!

And last but not least, I came up with something for a mother card. I think it will be so sweet to use pastel colors and a white background. Then in last minute I decided to add texture for the background. 

Pssst.. I will share one of my life goal in cardmaking, it's to be part of Lawn Fawn's amazing team. I still have my hope high that one day my dream will be come true!

Thanks for looking. Have a crafty day!

TAWS Sneak Peek Day 3

Hola friends!

I'm showcasing The Alley Way Stamps new release sneak peek day 3, this set is called Waddle Pals. It has two size of penguins, for this card I use smaller ones.  I created snow hills scene for this little guys to have fun.

Both sentiments are also come in this set which I found really fun to mix both of them in a card.

I blend the purple ink for the sky and I love how it turns out. This penguins have different colors instead of black..why?  Just because I love it this way! Haha.

Hope you enjoy today's card. TFL

This month we are inspired by the color DARK BLUE, when I think of dark blue (or some people might called it navy) first thing come into my mind is a deep sea and a beautiful night sky. So I start from that idea.

This is my card..

I create three layers of waves for the boat to sail, and there's a little bird on it. Oh I just love to think a little detail like this. Creating my own story behind the card I made.

I use the waves as flying birds this time. Hehe.

The dark blue patterned papers from Beachside pint-sized paper pack from Lawn Fawn are perfect for this month's color inspiration. And I thought of a light house from Life is Good will complete the scene for this card, and yellow rays look beautiful on a night sky. Don't you think so?

Last touch is the white embossed sentiment on a black cardstock, so crisp and bold.

I hope you enjoy today's card. And have fun hopping til the end! Just don't forget to leave comments (and your email address) on every blog.. ;)
