Hi, Friends!
It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! For the next two weeks, we are celebrating summer! Be sure to join us over on the Lawn Fawnatics Blog to play along and to see inspiration from the rest of the design team!
My card today hopefully SCREAMS summer with popsicles! I used the I Scream, You Scream set to create a rainbow of popsicles over a watercolor background – almost looks like they’re melting.
I began by watercoloring my background with Distress Inks (Abandoned Coral, Scattered Straw, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet). To create the layered look, I did just that – I would lay down a layer of wet pigment, dry it with my heat tool, then do another. I did that 3-4 times with each color. I also used a small acrylic block to smoosh it while it was still wet too. After finishing the background, I die-cut it with the Large Slimline with Sliders Lawn Cut.
Next, I die-cut all of my popsicles in various Lawn Fawn cardstock (Ballet Slippers, Sticky Note, Mermaid, Moonstone, Sugar Plum, Vanilla Malt) and ink-blended it with the same inks I used for the background. I die-cut the faces on each popsicle and backed it with black cardstock. For the blush, I added it directly with an R20 Copic marker.
My sentiment is a combination of an embossed sentiment from Sweet Smiles and letters die-cut from Oliver’s Stitched ABCs. To finish my card, I accented all the letters and popsicles using a white gel pen.
I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
