Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #66: Holiday Critters

2 Dec

Good morning!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and it’s sure to be a popular one!

Here’s what I created!

Christmas Fishes by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

To start I blended a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock with chipped sapphire, blueprint sketch, salty ocean and tumbled glass distress oxide ink.  I splattered it lightly along the tumbled glass and salty ocean edge.  Then I blended tea dye and gathered twigs distress oxide ink onto a scrap of bristol cardstock and die-cut it with the Stitched Hillside Borders.  I adhered it to the blue panel to create the look of a shoreline!

Next I stamped a bunch of images from Christmas Fishes and Here We Go A-Waddling 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 added a few accents with a white gel pen.

Next I stamped my sentiment onto the water and sand with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I added my critters and adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape.  Finally I added dots with a white gel pen and a posca paint pen to create the look of bubbles and foam in the water.  I added a little crystal clear glaze around those dots and sprinkled it with prisma and chunky glitter for a little extra sparkle!  Now my penguin and fish choir is ready to start their holiday concert! 😉

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!
