Fairy best friends (with Neat and Tangled)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the NT blog this morning, with a sweet friendship card using images from To The Stars, from our newest release.



I did the softest ink blended sky using Lawn Fawn's Mermaid ink and an oval makeup brush. Honestly, those brushes make it too easy! It's foolproof.

Then, I flicked some white paint onto the sky, to give it a dreamier quality before laying in the clouds and fairies.



I gave the girls matching hair colors and outfits, and finished off the card with a sentiment from So Many Sentiments.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Celestial (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

If you're looking for today's Lawn Fawn post, scroll down or click HERE. I'm pulling double shifts all week!

Welcome back to Neat and Tangled's release week! We've shown you all of the new goodies that will be for sale as of tomorrow morning. In the meantime, the design team has created bonus projects for you today!



I used To The Stars, and did some moodier ink blending. I used a yellow and a few shades of blue ink. While I was blending, my daughter exclaimed - huh! yellow and blue really do make green!

weirdo.



I purposefully left it really light around the moon, so that it looked like a glowing haze. I flecked on some white and also some black ink and added a few clouds and stars to the night sky. The sentiment was nestled in and heat-embossed.

Layered butterflies (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's April inspiration week! We're taking a closer look at some of the spring collection, and hoping you'll be inspired to get creative yourself!

Today is our showcase of the Layered Butterflies dies. I snipped one in half for a different look:

I cut a piece of white cardstock with a wavy Stitched Hillside Border die, and then cut into it again with a larger butterfly die. I then backed the negative space with a speckled pink paper, to set it apart from the scalloped pink paper to the right.

I borrowed a sentiment from Butterfly Kisses, and added a heat-embossed butterfly trail as well.

Receding background (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

If you're looking for today's Lawn Fawn post, scroll down or click HERE. I'm pulling double posts all week!

Welcome back to day 3 of this month's Neat and Tangled release week! Today, we're showing off an AMAZING background stamp designed by Miriam.  Itis a 6x6 cling rubber stamp called Receding Background, and so perfect for both bold and subtle backgrounds.

I went pink (again) and subtle, and paired it with some images from To The Stars:



I did some ink blending over the entire cardfront using Lawn Fawn's Ballet Slippers ink. Then, I stamped the Receding Background image on top using the same ink. I love the subtle look this gives!

I stamped the stars cluster a few times in the center of the card, and also brought in some extra stars and a snowflake cluster from one of our Christmas sets (Elfs and Their Shelf.)

I then stamped a greeting from A-mazing and added the fairy, moon and clouds from To The Stars.

mother's day (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's April inspiration week. Today is our showcase of the Mother's Day Line Border die.



I create a scene of a mommy with her little ducklings, and got the line border to follow the same curve as the grassy hills.



The ducks are from Rub-A-Dub-Dub, the clouds, butterfly and flowers are from Butterfly Kisses. I love mixing a little old and new together!

hello beautiful (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

If you're looking for today's Lawn Fawn post, scroll down or click HERE. I'm pulling double postings all week!

Welcome to day 2 of this month's Neat and Tangled release week! Everything we show you this week will be available for purchase as of Friday morning (April 19th).

Today, we're showing off a 3x4 stamp set called Dream Big. It features a fairy riding a flying goose, and works so well with the previously shown To The Stars. It's right out of a fairy-tale, isn't it?

I created as dreamy a backdrop as I could for the main image, by ink-blending the softest pink haze, and laying a trail of stars beneath the goose.

I layered a few of the puffy clouds from To The Stars, and used a white gel pen to add some white dotted accents to the background layer.



I hope you like it! Don't forget to leave me a comment before you go! Danielle will choose a random comment from among all of the design team's posts this week - the winner will be awarded a $25 store gift card!

upside-down raindrops (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to another day of this month's inspiration week! Today, we're showing off the Rainy Backdrop. This is a card that I made way back for sneak peek week in January, but I'll show it off again:

I turned the raindrops upside down - i was thinking they looked more like underwater bubbles that way?

I did some ink blending on the raindrops layer, keeping it darker towards the bottom.

The whale is from Get Well Before 'n Afters, the sending hugs sign is from Open Me, and I finished the design with the Feel Better Line Border.
