sweet as gumballs {lawn fawn}

The Lawn Fawn design team is coming up gumballs, showing off the new Sweet Smiles stamp set.

Before we go any further, I would like to preface my card by saying "I don't know."

I don't know why I didn't add smiley faces to any of the gumballs. I meant to, after I was done coloring, but then my hand reached for the glossy accents and before I knew it they were covered and wet and glossy and it was too late. bah.

At least on the purple one, right? I should have redone that one. Let's call this one a lazy card and have that out in the open.

In any case, the gumball image is so cute, even without smileys. And I do enjoy the pop of black on the sentiment strip.

owen's abcs {lawn fawn}

Hi there! We're a few days into this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week, and showing off the fun new alpha set, Owen's ABCs, today.

I made a quirky card, and I think it was so quirky because it came together in little stages, over a few days.  First, I created the little couple out of Sweet Smile gumballs.  The round gumball outline provided the heads, and the faces were quickly stamped as well. I then doodled hair and tiny shoulders before framing them out.

The background was created using the new Owen's ABCs. I used Lawn Fawn's mermaid ink, but stamped off onto scratch paper before inking the panel. It looks washed out and irregular in places, just like a sheet of vintage patterned paper.

I hope you like this whimsical card! It would be a cute one for next Valentine's day!
