Friends at the Farm with Purple Onion Designs

 This scarecrow and his little crow friend are peeking into the barn to say hello:

I masked and stamped the scarecrow, corn, and fence together on one panel, then stamped the barn door background for the top panel.  I cut out the door so that it opens.  Bessie the cow and Mo the chick were stamped separately, fussy cut, and adhered to the front panel.

Fun little detail:  I stamped and colored another bottom door and adhered it on the back of the top panel so the door looks like wood on both sides:

I thought a sentiment might detract from the scene so I added a hello sentiment on the inside of the card.


Purple Onion Designs Stamps:  Bessie, Mo, Barn Door Background, Scarecrow, Two Cornfields, Spring Fence

In the Bright Moonlight with Purple Onion Designs

Two friends in the woods with nothing but their lanterns and the glow of the moon.  Does that sound like the start of a bad scary movie?  On the contrary, it's a lovely moonlight stroll for this owl his hedgehog friend.  I wonder where they're off to?

I placed a circle mask onto a piece of Bristol smooth paper.  I inked around it with Distress Oxides and regular Distress ink, leaving some white showing around the mask.  Once I took the mask off, it really looked like it glowed!

These two and the birch trees background were stamped, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut all as one piece, and then added to the panel with foam tape.


Supplies:
Purple Onion Designs Stamps:  Egg Nog, Forrest, Birch Tree Background
Ink: Distress Oxides: Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, regular Distress Ink: Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot

I overlapped two Fall Leaves Backdrops, one in Fog and one in Sage, and layered them over vellum and patterned paper from Let It Shine.  The leaves and words are shaded with Copic markers.  The little mouse is from the new You Autumn Know stamp set.  I think he's going to be popping up in many places these days!

A Lawn Fawn Garden Gnome Card and Matching Keychain | Video


With felt still spread across the table from my recent acorn house banner, I was inspired to see what else I could do with it.  Lawn Fawn's new Garden Gnome die set came to mind:

I used a blanket stitch around the edges, added stuffing, and tapped in an eyelet for the chain.  I created a matching card because that's what we card makers do:

Here's a video to show how he came together.  You can watch it here, on Lawn Fawn's YouTube channel, or on my YouTube channel:
