Hi Friends! Happy Weekend! I'm super excited because this is my first weekend off in months. I start a new job on Monday and it is going to be SO nice to have weekends off with my family - honestly, I can't remember the last time both my hubby and I are off together!! Lawnscaping Challenges is having a DT call for new members of their Facebook Inspiration Team:
I entered two previous Lawn Fawn cards right away but I also wanted to create one more just for the call (you can enter up to three times!) I finally got my Derwent Inktense pencils and couldn't wait to color with them. I thought these two birds from the Feathered Friends set are adorable and so I looked up love birds on google to see how to color them since I used the Milo's ABCs set to create a custom sentiment.
There was a photo that had two love birds snuggled up and their coloring looked like a heart so I lightly drew a heart outline between the birds where I wanted the red color to go and then started coloring with my Inktense pencils. I am SO in love with these pencils - I feel like I have finally found a coloring medium that allows me to get blending and shading like I did with my Copics. I also stamped the branch with Distress Ink and colored it in with my Intense pencils. Then I masked both the birds and the branch to do some ink blending with Distress Inks. I used the Lawn Fawn #awesome Custom Craft Die to cut the instagram photo out but I didn't use the stamp itself. I just kept inlaid the dies together to create the frame.
For my custom sentiment I used the Milo's ABCs stamp to stamp Love Birds and instead of the O I used the heart from the Feathered Friends stamp set. Then I masked off Friends from the Hello Friends stamp to just stamp out hello. I thought this would be cute for an anniversary or even wedding card. I colored the heart with Inktense pencils and added Glossy Accents. I also thought it need a little pop so I added the white gel pen on the hello - couldn't resist filling in those loopy letters!
I absolutely adore how this card turned out - for the stitching and x's I used the Paper Smooches Stitched Die Set. I love that! I love the look of stitching but kinda have a sewing machine phobia. LOL I would love to join the Lawnscaping Challenges FIT team - I love Lawn Fawn stamps - they are one of my favorites because no matter what kind of mood I'm in, these stamps always make me smile to create with. Wish me luck!
I would also like to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Get Crafty and use KRAFT. I love using kraft on my projects!!
