Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #64: Cards for Guys

4 Nov

Good morning!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and it’s a fun one!

I don’t know about you but masculine cards tend to stump me…I guess I’m just used to my pastel blended skies, pretty flowers, and cute critters!  But it’s a good challenge since I need to remember to send more cards to male friends and family members!  Here’s what I created!

It's Your Birthday by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

To start I stamped my yeti, snowboard, and goggles onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored them with copics and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I also stamped the sentiment and trimmed it down to a thin label.  Then I set those aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

It's Your Birthday by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

I recently picked up the new Masking Stencils from Taylored Expressions and thought they’d be perfect for this card design!  I adhered the rectangle masking stencil to a piece of black cardstock with purple tape and then blended stormy sky, faded jeans, and chipped sapphire distress oxide ink over the stencil.  I love how sharp the lines turned out!!  I die-cut the mountain from the Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On from white and grey cardstock and adhered them together.  Then I adhered them to my blended rectangle.  I added my sentiment and my yeti with foam mounting tape and then added a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze to the goggles.  Finally I finished the card by adding snow to the scene with my posca paint pen!

And now it’s your turn!  I can’t wait to see what you create!!  You can link up your entries on the Lawn Fawnatics blog!  Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!

I love you with my whole heart. I will be yours, always. When you fall, I will catch you. When you cry, I will comfort you. When you laugh, I will share your joy. Everything I am and everything I have, I will share with you from this moment forth and for eternity. Let me make my home in your heart all the days of my life. At this time, 12 years ago, I married my best friend and we exchanged those vows. For the first time in three years I’m actually home to celebrate my anniversary with my husband and, despite the craziness in the current world preventing any sort of actual celebration, we are still so grateful to be safe, healthy, and together. ❤️🥂❤️

Hi friends! I hope you’re enjoying the last few hours of the weekend! ❤️ I spent a mostly relaxing weekend getting my craft room back in order after the holidays and took a little time to do more ink blends! 💛❤️💙 I’m hoping to continually add more blends as I think of them and you can find my first batch by following the hashtag #allthesparkleblends! These particular blends were ones I was testing for future cards but I’d love to know if there’s a color (or two) you’d like me to focus on for the next batch! 😉 ••• #distressoxideinks #distressoxide #inkblending #papercrafting #ink
