Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #82: Inspiration Photo

3 Aug

Good morning!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and we have a beautiful inspiration photo for you! I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous cards you will create!! 🙂

And here’s what I created!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 83 by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawn

I decided to go pretty literal with the challenge photo and decided to try stenciling two-toned clouds to match the inspiration photo!  I used Dusty Concord, Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans, Milled Lavender, Dried Marigold, and Scattered Straw distress oxide inks and alternated between using an ink blending tool and a blending brush for different intensities of each shade.  When I got to the change between the purple and yellow shades I made sure my panel was totally dry with a heat gun to lessen the change of the purple and yellow blending together.  I also blended a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock with Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans distress oxide ink and let it dry completely.

Once the blue panel was totally dry I die-cut it with the Stitched Wave borders.  The die isn’t sized for a slimline card so I can it halfway through my die-cutting machine and then rearranged the die and continued die-cutting so it would fit the long panel.  I also stamped the sentiment from Wavy Sayings and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Then I die-cut the Puffy Cloud borders from vellum and the sun from white cardstock.  I blended Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Lemonade distress oxide ink onto the sun and then arranged it with the clouds around the waves.  To finish the card I added a few seabirds from Smooth Sailing stamped in jet black ink!

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 fantastic day!

    […] Jessica was inspired by the image to create this gorgeous cloud-filled sky! For the clouds she inked the background in the challenge colors using the Cloudy Stencil! She filled in with Puffy Cloud Borders cut from vellum. For the water she inked a Stitched Wave Border then added the sun from Spring Showers and stamped a few seagulls from Life is Good! […]
