Lawn Fawnatics Lots of Heart Challenge (141) Theme Fun | January 2023
Lately, I have started imagining multiple ways that I could use a stamp set before I decide to purchase. I look for different sentiments or supporting images within a set that allow me to create various card designs. I love how you can repurpose many Lawn Fawn stamp sets to achieve different themes.
Today, I am showcasing these cute little penguins again from Lawn Fawn’s Toboggan Together stamp and coordinating die set but giving them a Valentine’s twist. It is an older set, but newer to me as I finally purchased it for this past Christmas season.
I decided this card design would be adorable using pastel colors, so I turned to my pastel Ohuhu alcohol marker set for the job. I was gifted the Honolulu series that features both the brush and fine tips. I absolutely love using both of these tips especially when coloring small images.
I made one penguin a pretty pastel blue and the other an antique pink. I created a little pink glitter heart using a heart stamp from the Lawn Fawn’s Milk and Cookies stamp set and adhered it to the blue penguins’ flipper.
Using my Waffle Flower Crafts cloud stencil set, I made two clouds and colored with a pastel blue alcohol maker. I then topped the clouds with a swipe of white paint wash. I fussy cut and adhered them to a popped up layered panel of light pink pattern paper. I always love the chance to use my stash of pattern paper! For added interest, I placed in a series of Stickles silver glitter dots and winter flurries sequins by Simon Says Stamp.
To complete the scene, I used Lawn Fawn’s Everyday Sentiment Banner die and silver embossed the sentiment “to a cool friend”. Then once again, I reached for my pastel alcohol markers as well as some Tsukineko light pink chalk ink to create softened shadows underneath the penguins and the clouds. Finally, I placed in a few highlights where needed using my uniball white gel pen.
This card project is finished and ready to give to a super cool friend! Thank you for joining me today.
I hope you have a great weekend full of heart and happy crafting!
