Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #34: Favorite Place

6 Aug

Good morning!!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and we’re challenging you to create a scene of your favorite place!!  For me it was a no brainer, I LOVE the ocean!  And of course I’d love to be a mermaid with a sparkly seahorse bestie! Who wouldn’t!? 😉

To start I stamped my mermaid, star, and seahorse from Mermaid for You onto white cardstock with copic-friendly ink and colored them with copics before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.

To create my background I pressed chipped sapphire, mermaid lagoon, salty ocean, and peacock feathers distress ink onto an acrylic block and then spritzed it with water.  I carefully turned the block over and pressed it to a piece of watercolor paper.  I held it in place for about 20 seconds to give the ink plenty of time to soak into the paper.  Then I removed the block and blotted off the excess ink.  Next I spritzed it with water and then blotted off the drops to create a little bit of texture in the background.

Finally I assembled my card!  I adhered the seahorse and sentiment with foam mounting tape and then used an action wobbler for my mermaid.  Then I adhered a wave of clear and iridescent sequins across the panel for a little extra sparkle!

And now it’s your turn!  I can’t wait to see your favorite places!  You can link up your entries on the Lawn Fawnatics blog!  Thanks so much for visiting and have an amazing day!

    […] morning! Jess here with a card for our current Favorite Places challenge! Earlier I shared an underwater card because there’s nothing I like better than being in the water (preferably a turquoise blue ocean) […]
