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

LF Fall Tiny Tags

Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Coconut White

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

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #37 Something Old Something New | You're the Cream to my Coffee

by Hanaa - Wednesday, September 26, 2018

This is the first card I made for the Something Old, Something New challenge. It took me a long time but I am so happy with it!

Here's how I made it:

I first stamped the squarish mug as I wanted this to be in the front, then I stamped it onto a sticky note and masked the mug and then stamped the round mug to the side of it. This brought the second mug to the back.

I took the milk carton from Milk and Cookies and masked off the word MILK with some sticky note when I went to ink, and I removed it when I went to stamp it and it gave me a blank space! I found out the word Cream (from Thanks A Latte) fit perfectly inside that blank part. Then I drew cream pouring out of the carton and into the mug.

This is where I made a mistake. I should have drawn the liquid pouring out and masked it before stamping the second mug. That way, I wouldn't have had the mug rim showing in the pouring cream. But I saved it by erasing it with a sand eraser. It was difficult because it was a lot of ink; it removed the ink but made that part very textured. In the end, I liked it. It added sloshy movement.

Next, I drew subway tiles on the back of the card and then went over it with a black fine liner.

I cut out a window on the left and turned that window into a shaker element. I created a scene behind this window with a forest border. The forest and sky were just pieces of cardstock coloured with copics. I added white dots for snow and some fine glitter and clear seed beads for the shaker parts. Sequins would of have been too large.

I coloured the mugs in with my copics, added grey countertops and gave the tiles some depth with light grey marker. I took the whipped cream and turned into meringue kisses. Peppermint meringue kisses.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment You're the Cream to my Coffee onto black card and cut it down into strips and adhered it onto the bottom right. Lastly, I backed the panel onto a top folding black card base.

This is the shaker in action:

Whilst creating this card, I kept envisioning my dream kitchen. I really love subway tiles with black grout! It's just so beautiful I think.

Well, thank you for stepping into my dream kitchen LOL! What's your favourite kitchen backsplash?

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #37 Something Old Something New | You Turn Me On a Latte

by Hanaa - Wednesday, September 26, 2018

Hi friends,

A new challenge, a new card. This was tricky, I don't have a lot from the new releases. I have only the Thanks a Latte set and Pumpkin Spice set so thinking of a card was a bit hard.

BUT I had a light bulb moment! Here is my card for this challenge:

I die cut three large circles; 2 from yellow card and one from white. The two yellow ones formed my card base, I scored one of them 0.25" from the top, folded that flap and glued the second yellow circle on top to form my top down card base.

I took a grey ink and lightly stamped on the white paper, the lightbulb from Lights Out along with the heart filament from You Turn Me On.

After, I stamped and coloured the mug from Thanks A Latte and made a sentiment using words from You Turn Me On and Thanks A Late. Some Nuvo crystal drops completed this card.

Thank you, I hope this card brightens your day!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #36 Fall Mood Board | Vintage Thanks A Latte

by Hanaa - Friday, September 14, 2018

This is it, the last entry. Wow I have never done 4 cards for 1 challenge before. What a record!

So this is what I did for this card:

I took a coffee ring stamp and stamped it 6 times onto a textured ivory card base. The ink I used was LF walnut ink. To get a lighter shade of that ink, I just restamped without inking up the stamp again; so whatever is left on the stamp.

Next, I stamped the mug from Thanks A Latte and stamped it onto watercolour paper. I then stamped the leaf on the outside of the mug to create a pattern. The delicata ink wasn't waterproof so when i went to add some shading to the mug it smeared the leaves but I used it to my advantage and lightly spread it around to make a shimmery mug instead.

I added a moustache smiley, the frothy latte and then fussy cut it out and adhered onto the card base.Then, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock, cut it up and glued it next to the mug on an angle. Finally, I added the steam to the back of the mug to complete this card.

The ivory of the card, the moustache of the smiley face and the brown colours give this card a vintage feel. I like it. A lot.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really am happy to see you here.

LF Thanks A Latte stamp set

Altenew Coffee ring stamp set

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

Archival black ink
