A creature was stirring (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

 Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's October inspiration week! We're showcasing items from the current release and showing you fun ways to use the new sets!

Today we're taking a closer look at A Creature Was Stirring:

I used the Foursquare Backdrop to frame tiny little scenes, all backed with stripey wallpaper and a woodgrain floor (or countertop?) I've said it before, but using this backdrop makes designing a card super easy! And the end look is so charming. 

In terms of coloring the images - I used my regular red copic combo (R22, R24, R29) but I added shading with RV69 for extra depth. The green is less of a traditional green and more of a teal. I used G00 as the base and added some BG15 and blended the 2. It gave an interesting mix!

For the sentiment, I used a sentiment from this set, and mixed it with the large Merry Christmas from Offset Sayings. I colored the letters to match the rest of the teal-greenery on the card.

To finish things off, I went a little crazy with the enamel dots, ha.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

Merry Christmas (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to the final day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. I hope you've enjoyed it! Today is our showcase of Offset Sayings: Christmas.

I started out by cutting a layer of white cardstock with the Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait. I love that it leaves room for a nice big sentiment at the bottom. I created a layer of dark, night sky and set Santa and his reindeer (from Ho-Ho-Holidays) into each open square. I tethered the reindeer together, so that the image, though broken up by the frame, would look continuous.



I popped the frame up using foam adhesive tape, but stuck the images flat onto the night sky layer. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and other little accents. I always find this helps the images to really pop!



I stamped the sentiment once in black ink, and then filled in the top portion using Lobster ink. I added white gel-pen highlights to the letters as well.
