Lawn Fawn Christmas card - Joy to the woods

Hi guys! I can't believe it's already December 20th! Time really does fly when you're having fun
creating Christmas cards!

For this one, I used a favorite Lawn Fawn set of mine - Joy to the woods. But come on - you can't really have just one favorite when it comes to Lawn Fawn. Pretty much every stamp set I own from them is my favorite. And what I love most about them is the way you can mix and match, and it doesn't even show that the images are from different stamp sets. I just love the thought behind that.

So here I am again with my distressed sunset rectangle in the background - using Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral. This time I didn't use water droplets for the added interest, but some snow flakes stamped with Versamark.

And to make the snowy hills - once again I used my beloved stitched hillside borders, and for the frame - the outside in rectangle die. So come to think of it - maybe one of those is my favorite?!

Anyway - here are the copic sketch markers used:

Fox & Log: W1-3-5-7

Squirrel & Hazelnut: E08-18-19

Baubles: BG11-13-57

Santa hat and candy cane: R35-37

Birchtrees: W1-3

To enhance the eyes and noses of the critters I used some Nuvo crystal drops in Ebony Black. The baubles were covered in Nuvo crystal glaze and the strings with some glitter. And the white highlight were as per usual made with a white gel pen.

Since I've used at least 3 of my favorite sets from Lawn Fawn on this card - I'm entering it to the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #19.

Have a nice evening, everyone! //A

God Jul - Christmas card with products from Gummiapan

And so we're entering into the last week before Christmas! Please remember to slow down once in a while and why not color? On this very CAS Christmas Card I've used an image created by Bildmålarna for Gummiapan, called "Flicka med julblomma". Lot's of grays - almost to the point of blue! Or actually - it does actually look kind of blue, also IRL. 

The sentiment die is also from Gummiapan (Stor God Jul) and I cut it in warm gray CS to match the image and then painted the outlines with a gold pen. The little holly image is from a Lawn Fawn stamp set called "Joy to the woods". The frame around the card was created using a snow pen.

Copic Markers used:

Hair:E40-41-42-43-44

Skin: E04-11-13-21, R20

Clothes: C0-1-3-5-7, W1-3-4-6-8

Flower and button: R35-37-59, YR93-99

Berries: RV93-95

Holly Leaves: G21, G46

Highlights were made using a white gel pen and glossy accents.

Have a nice Monday evening! :-)

Lawn Fawn - Frosty Fairy Friends Christmas card

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I want to show you one of my all time favorite Christmas cards. I can't get enough of these overly cute fairies, the distressed background and the stitched cloud backdrop... I just love it so much.

So on to the details:
The background was made using distress inks Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Broken China. Once blended I spritzed it with some water droplets from a spray bottle and then die cut the stitched cloud backdrop.

The fairies and all of the other stamped images are from the Frosty Fairy Friends stamp set from Lawn Fawn. And they were all colored in with my copic markers.

I die cut some hills out of white CS to make some snowy hills, using the stitched hillside borders.

Lastly the little scene was mounted on a vanilla card base with a frame created with the outside in stitched rectangle dies - the largest one.

Wishing you all a pleasant evening and I'll be back tomorrow with another Christmas card! //A

Lawn Fawn Christmas card - Here we go a-waddling and Joy to the woods

Happy Lucia everyone! 

We've just returned home after a very nice Lucia "concert" at the kindergarten - here in Sweden we celebrate Lucia today and all children sing to parents, friends and family and there are also Lucia concerts in various places around the city. Such a nice tradition!

In lack of Lucia stamps - here are some singing penguins from Lawn Fawn instead! :-)

I started out by making the square sky background using some Distress Oxides in Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey and Antique Linen. After blending them for a seamless look, I splashed some water droplets from an ordinary spray bottle (nothing fancy) and wiped off with a paper towel to get the oxide effect. 

The house die is from Lawn Fawn and I believe it's an add on to the stitched hillside pop-up, though I didn't use that here, I used instead the stitched hillside borders for the snowy hill, which also coordinates fine with the house die.

The penguins, the bird and the lamp were all colored in with Copics. Highlights were made with a white gel pen, some Nuvo crystal glaze and a snow marker.

The bird, trees and holly are from the stampset "Joy to the woods" and the rest of the stamps are from "Here we go a-waddling".

I'm entering this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "Stitch It".

See you soon! //A

Christmas card with Tiddly Ink's Wryn!

Hi everyone! Here's a CAS christmas card for you! I used a lovely digital stamp from Tiddly Inks, called "Reindeer Games", and colored her up with copics. And the colors are:

Clothes (and Rudolph's nose): R35-37-59

Shoes: E41-43-44-47

Hair: E50-51-53-55, YR20

Skin: E00-04-11-13-21, R20

Rudolph: W1-4-6-8, R20, YR20

Antlers and tail: E00-11, YR20

Collar: BG93-96-99

Bells and belt: YR23 and Wink of Stella in gold

Holly leaves: G21-46

Highlights were made with a white gel pen and for the furry part of the santa hat I used a snow marker and heat set it with my heat tool. The bells as well as Rudolph's nose also got  a coat of Nuvo crystal glaze. And finally I enhanced the eyes with some Nuvo crystal drops in gloss - ebony black.

The rest of the card is really simple - instead of chalking the edges I used the Wink of Stella in gold to mark the edges. Then I mounted the card on some fun foam and finally assembled on the card base, which measures 5,5"x4,25".

I'm entering this card to the Tiddly Inks challenge #208 "Be Merry".

Wishing you all a nice evening! //A
