ahoy! {lawn fawn inspiration week}

It's the last day of lawn fawn's March inspiration week.  Have you enjoyed it this month?  Today, we're showcasing the 4x3 set, float my boat with its matching dies.

I have to admit that I love this card.  I started out by clear-embossing the starry background, and then rubbing blue distress inks over the entire panel.  It created the perfect backdrop for my boat, the wavy panel, and my striped ahoy.  I keep using those Christmas papers! Red and white stripes are good for so many occasions.

For a finishing touch, I added a wood veneer anchor (I think it's by studio calico,) held in place by some red and white twine.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the lawn fawn blog today.

ETA: I'm linking this card up to my friend Taheerah's weekly Cure for the Monday Blues challenge. What a great inspiration photo!

like unicorns and rainbows.

It's time for another lawnscaping challenge!  So dust off your unloved stamps and get to stamping:

Mine is all unicorns & rainbows.



I pieced together the sentiment from some of the newer lawn fawn sets (#awesome and let's roll) and stamped the rainbow from starry backdrops.  The unloved unicorn from critters ever after gets a facelift when paired with these newer stamps.

Did you notice the journaling card die? Some careful die-cutting and I was able to create a longer panel to fit my images better.

Hope you like it! Now, play along - you could win a prize from lawn fawn:

you're my double rainbow.

Monday morning, and time for another lawnscaping challenge!  This one's fun: pick a lawnscaping design team member and create something inspired by that gal.

It was tough to narrow things down - these girls inspire me all the time!  I chose my good friend Audrey, with this rainbow-colored party set (click!)

Her set had me reaching for the new lawn fawn set, starry backdrops.  It goes on sale later on in February, but I couldn't resist playing around with it n-o-w.  It has the same sentiment that Audrey featured on her project ("you color my world") but when I started created, my project organically went a different way.

I stamped two mini rainbows, paired it with lawn fawn's new rainbow-striped paper, and used Milo's abcs to spell out the top half of my custom sentiment.  I used a white gel pen to chicken scratch the rest.



I felt like the card needed some purple.  Rainbows with no purple? sad stuff.  A quick wash of color onto a wood veneer heart righted everything.

I hope you like it, and I can't wait to see who inspires you!

Play along and you could win a prize by lawn fawn! With all of the new sets and papers going on sale in about a month, this prize is extra special.
