Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #38 Awesome Autumn | Love You Tons

by Hanaa - Monday, October 15, 2018

Hi everyone!

I love to try and get two cards out of one die; it saves time and it just looks so good together side by side.

After I completed the Happy Fall card, I had the negative leftover from the background die.

I took this negative piece and adhered it to a top folding grey cardstock. The vibrant sunset colours against the earthy grey make my heart sing. It's the perfect combo.

I knew I had to add some elephants. I stamped and coloured the elephants from Lawn Fawn Love You Tons stamp set.

I then die cut all of the banners from the Lawn Fawn Bannerific dies and checked to see which one would look best with these elephants.
After I had chosen, I went ahead and stamped the sentiment onto it.
I glued it down onto the centre of the card and popped up the elephants with some foam squares and adhered them on opposite sides of the banner.

Finally, to complete the card I added some clear sequins in various sizes to give it a little bit of interest.

I adore this card!

Thanks a ton for visiting my blog!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #38 Awesome Autumn | Hello Fall

by Hanaa - Monday, October 15, 2018

Hello!!

I have made a bunch of cards for the Awesome Autumn challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics blog. It has just ended but there's no end to making fall cards!

This is one of the cards I made; a geometric card.

I did some ink blending on bristol smooth cardstock then used a Neat and Tangled background cover die to cut out this gorgeous background.

Next, I used the negative to fit the pieces back again onto the front of a card base. I die cut some fall leaves tags and applied some distress inks.

Then I heat embossed the sentiment Happy Fall in white embossing powder.

I tied the tags together with some twine and wrapped the twine around a white strip of which I then glued across the bottom of the card.

Thank you for stopping by!

Supplies used:

LF Thanks a Latte

Distress inks; fired brick, canned pumpkin, mustard seed, peeled paint, old paper, gathered twigs, wilted violet, dusty concord

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #36 Fall Mood Board | Watercolour Pumpkin Spice Latte

by Hanaa - Friday, September 14, 2018

I think the deadline is tomorrow for this challenge; so please get your entries in!!

I'm just going to get right into the tutorial.

I wet a piece of distress watercolour paper and dabbed oranges, yellows and browns to make a splash effect. The 1st layer is usually light after drying so, I repeated it again but this time I added metallic copper splatters so it can disperse into the paint. Using a wet on wet technique allows for the colours to blend beautifully. After completely drying, I stamped the leaf image ink the background with delicate copper ink; some leaves were stamped with second generation ink.

I stamped the mug from Thanks A Latte onto watercolour paper and painted it cream. Next, I stamped the words Fall using Milo's ABC's in the centre of the mug. My latest obsession is Rae Dun mugs, but here in the UK I can't find the fall themed ones. So this will have to do. I then painted the liquid as if it was splashing out of the mug.

After, I fussy cut around the mug and liquid and glued it onto the watercoloured panel. I added copper sequins onto the background and stamped the sentiment below the mug.

Taking a 5x7" kraft card base, I repeatedly die cut the Stitched Borders dies onto the base. I haven't taken these dies apart so it makes it as I don't have to worry about lining it up.

My card panel is 5.75 x 4.5 so the kraft base will frame this piece very nicely and you get to see the stitched details all around.

This is my card complete! I have one more card that I have made, so I'll be back for one more entry.

thank you for stopping by!

see you in my next post x

Supplies used:

Distress watercolour paper

Gansai Tambi watercolours
