Pretty poinsettias (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

 Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's inspiration week! Today is our showcase of the Stitched Poinsettia dies and the So Joyful Line Border:

I started out by using a sheet of red and white plaid paper (it's older in the Lawn Fawn lineup, and we no longer carry it.) I used a maroon ink and a blender brush to darken the edges and tone down the plaid. I love that the background carries just a hint of a pattern this way. Before continuing onto next steps, I splattered white paint onto the red background.

I then cut out the poinsettia and leaves, as well as sprigs from Large Wreath and Spring Sprig. I played with the composition until I felt like it was full but not too busy, and added the line border sentiment at the bottom.

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

Gingerbread friends + caroling penguins! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to Lawn Fawn's October inspiration week! Today, we're showing off the Gingerbread Friends die set (and keep scrolling down to see the project I missed sharing yesterday, for the Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments.)

First up, Gingerbread Friends:

This card was such a bear to photograph, but those gingerbread dies are the sweetest things! I create a trio of gingerbread friends, giving them blushy pink cheeks and extra dimension by ink blending around the edges. I reached for the Spring Sprig die to add greenery all around the Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window. The little red berries are from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On set. Those elements really help to break up all of the brown on this card.

I created this card for yesterday's Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments showcase. I just love these caroling penguins! I layered the Here We Go A-Waddling penguins so that it looks like a big group.



The littlest penguin peeking out at the top is from Say What? Christmas Critters.



When you spin the wheel, the new sentiments appear within the speech bubble. It's so much fun to play with!

I hope you like what I created for you! If you'd like to see either of these cards created from beginning to end, check out the Lawn Fawn blog! Kelly recreates the penguin card in yesterday's video (click!) and the gingerbread card in today's video (click!)
