Gnomebody's Home? - Lawn Fawn Video!

Yes!  This little gnome is home!  Just turn on the lights in his house with Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris, and you can see him at the door!
At first the house is dark as if there is gnomebody home:
Then, when you pull the handle, the light turns on inside the house:
Open the door to see the gnome, and lift the flap in the grass to see the little worm saying "hi" from underground:
I created a video to show how I put this card together.  You can watch it here, on Lawn Fawn's YouTube channel, or on my YouTube channel:

Wishing You a Snappy Birthday!

I'm over at the SugarPea Designs blog today with a birthday card featuring the new stamp set Later Gator!  There are lots of accessories for this gator which makes it so versatile for many occasions!
Ms. Ali Gator was stamped lightly with Copic friendly green ink and colored with Copic markers.  Her balloon was also lightly inked with pink ink and colored with Copics.  The front panel was blended with a variety of green inks through the Laurel Leaves stencil.  After stenciling, I ink blended over the stenciled area fading it out to white.  The sentiment from Later Gator was stamped with clear ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  I then cut out a window using a Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle, and raised the panel with craft foam.  To complete the card, I attached silver thread behind the balloon with a glue dot and glued the other end to her wrist.  I tied a bow of silver thread and glued it over the end of the string.


Other Supplies:
Ink: Memento New Sprout and Angel Pink, VersaMark, Distress:  Forest Moss, Pine Needles, Twisted Citron, Shabby Shutters
Silver EP, Silver twine
Copics:  W1,3, G12, YG01,03,11,13,21,23,25,91,93

A Box of Wishes

It's time for release week at Lawn Fawn, and I am so excited!  We're starting out this week with the sweetest stamp set called, Dandy Day.




I stamped the images partially in Jet Black ink, and partially in clear so I could ink blend around the white of the dandelions.  I used the new grassy hills and cloud stencils to ink blend in DI Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean.  Copic used:  W00,0,1, E71, Y04,15,19, YG17, G29, R20

A Fox Afloat

A little no line coloring for this happy day of Lawn Fawn's release week.  I used Lawn Fawn's new Jellyfish ink to stamp out these two from the new Really High Five stamp set and last year's Butterfly Kisses stamp set.  I am so excited about that ink - no need for generation stamping, and the color works in with everything!  I even stamped out the balloon strings with it and just drew over them with a Prismacolor pencil (along with their eyes and mouths).

Copics:W00,0,1,2,3,4, E11,13,15,43, R02,05, Y00,11,13,15, B0000,000
Prismacolor Pencil: 1056 70% Warm Grey

I hope you're enjoying release week!
