I used my child's watercolors

Hello, it's Sabine from the FIT :) I'm here with a card for the current challenge - watercolors! I don't own any watercolors, so I took the description literally and used my girls' watercolors.

Big pink brushstrokes for the background.

I also used the awesome colors from the picture - pinks, purples, blue.

Play along in this fun challenge! 

Hugs, Sabine

Happy 5th Birthday Lawn Fawn!!

Hi all!! Kari back with you from the FB Inspiration Team and I am excited about this post as it is a special one.  Today is a celebration of Lawn Fawn!  Lawn Fawn is the reason why we have this challenge blog, because we love the company and everything about it!  For me personally, I started stamping and creating cards right about the same time Lawn Fawn came about, so it is my tried and true stamp company!  They have come a long way, and have provided us as crafter's with some awesome products to use for our creativity!  They started out with just stamps - and now they have pretty much anything you need for your projects - from stamps, to paper, to dies, to twine, to embellishments, and they just introduced their own line of ink!

So - I wanted to make a special birthday card to celebrate their 5 years!!

I used some new products and some older which is only fitting I think.  I started out by creating the embossed background and embossed it in gold embossing powder.  I then die cut from the Party Balloons die set, the heart from New Leaf card stock, and I also die cut the number "5" from Quinn's 123 die set from Audrey Blue card stock.  I also stamped the coordinating stamp onto the die cut and embossed it as well in gold.  I also die cut one of the strings from the Party Balloons die set True Black card stock.  I set those pieces aside.  I stamped the microphone from "Stay Tuned" in Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink.  I fussy cut the microphone out ( which I normally don't like to do ) and I wanted to wrap the balloon string around the bottom.  I did a little more stamping on my main panel using some more of the new Lawn Fawn Inks in Cranberry, Fake Tan, Sunflower, Freshly Cut Grass, and Mermaid and I stamped the music notes also from Stay Tuned.  For my sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday from the stamp set #Awesome, and the "To" and the "You" from Thank You Tags. For a final touch I added some wink of stella to the microphone for some shimmer.  I had to be careful with it though, b/c I noticed that I had smudged the black ink a bit, which surprised me a little since this is a fast drying ink...it must be the card stock I was using.  

I put all my elements together, and placed them onto a 5 inch square card.

Happy Birthday Lawn Fawn!!!!!  Here's to many more years of happiness with awesome creativity!

See you all soon!

Happy Birthday!

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a super fun birthday card! I recently purchased some products from the last Lawn Fawn release, and I just had to use them right away.

 The "Year Four" stamp set coordinates perfectly with the "Birthday Tag" stamp set. The proportions allow you to create a mini birthday scene within the tag. I also love that the "Birthday Tag" stamp set works perfectly with the "Tag You're It" craft die. I hand die cut my stamped tag, and then layered it on top of a kraft tag. I adhered the layered tag on top of a fun pattern paper from the "Into the Woods" petite paper pack. Under the pattern paper is a strip of washi tape. I used a cute star border punch on the bottom of the card. Polka dot pattern paper was placed behind the stars to coordinate with the birthday theme. Twine and star embellishments were added to create additional texture and dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!
