Just Fur You

Hello! Happy Saturday!

Today I'm going to make a card using MFT Sketch Challenge. I think it's going to be fun! And I'll make it yellow to follow the One Day One Project theme for today.

I usually don't really like cats nor the images..but this one from Birdie Brown is an exception! The cats are sooo cute, I just can't handle the cuteness.

Here is my card..


Thanks for looking. Have a crafty day!

Dragon Princess

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to show you the dreamy scene I made, I think it'd be perfect for a little girl's birthday card.
Dragon is not always for boys if I colored it in pink and make it as a princess! LOL. 


I color the dragon with my Abandoned Coral distress marker, it's such a pretty color! I love it A LOT! It's not really pink, it's coral (yeah, you can tell by the name)
I make a purple polkadot castle and a shaker star as a background.


I really love how the card turned out, I'm happy with it. I hope you enjoy it too!

Have a crafty day!! xx

Shake It Off

Hi, today I'm featuring MFT Stamps. I make this card for this month's One Day One Project (ODOP) and today's theme is Something BLUE.

So I make this fun blue shaker card using MFT's You Have My Heart. I die cut the banner, it actually the small tag from Lawn Fawn Tag You're It die set.


I color the image using Distress Markers with watercolor technique. I make my own background to match the "dog-themed" with paws and bones. 
I also softly distressed my background using MFT hybrid ink (Blu Raspberry), what I love about hybrind inks are they good for both stamping and blending. 

Thanks for looking. Have a good day!

Lawnscaping Challenge 105 : Watercolor


Hello!
Today I'm going to share an inspiration for the current Lawnscaping Challenge, watercolors!! I love watercoloring so much, when some people really into copics... I still choose watercolors. 

So this challenge is really for me. Yeay!
And we are sponsored by Ellen Hutson.


For my project, I use Rangers Distress Markers and Kuretake Gansai Tambi for coloring my image and also for the scene.
I choose to do no-line watercoloring to create a soft looking baby card.


I stamped the star on wet paper to purposely give it a bleed that will look like it shines. I really love Lawn Fawn dye ink, for this card I choose Walnut for my sentiment.

The finishing touch is to add some sequins (I love sequins to give bokeh effect, you have seen me using them a lot!) and the natural twine.

I hope it will you some inspirations to start your projects! 
Have a good day. 

Regards,
Lexa.

Birthday Gift Tag Set

Hello, today I'm going to share one of my latest project. I was inspired by one of talented cardmaker, you can find her on instagram @suzyplant. 

I use Lawn Fawn Tag You're It stamp set and coordinate dies for the tags.
And use several Lawn Fawn stamp sets for the images, but what I love most is the gingham background (also come from Lawn Fawn goodies!) and the dye ink is to die for!
I can't believe that Lawn Fawn dye inks are so crisp, subtle and awesome.
I used wild rose, mermaid and cranberry. The yellow is from Mama Elephant pigment ink pad (buttercup) which I also looove.


I finished them with some Lawn Trimmings that match the tag colors. 
I hope you enjoy them!

Have a good day.
