Lawn Fawnatics – Challenge #108 – Christmas Fishes

Hello, Friends!

Today begins a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawnatics Blog to see all the inspiration from the design team. The current challenge theme is photo inspiration. Check out the challenge badge below – I hope it sparks some ideas!

For my card today, I was inspired to use alcohol inks to recreate a similar ocean look. I am so not ready for Christmas, but I was flipping through my Lawn Fawn bins and the Christmas Fishes set was perfect for the card I envisioned.

The background uses the following alcohol ink colors: Mermaid, Sailboat Blue, and Indigo. When I was done blowing the alcohol ink around, I let it dry, then splattered it with 91% isopropyl alcohol to give it bubbles. I set this panel aside to stamp and color my images from the Christmas Fishes set using Copic markers.

Reds:  R32, R35, R37, R39
Pinks:  [RV10, RV11, RV14], [R81, R83, R85]
Purples:  R81, V04
Greens:  [G21, G24, G28], [G20, G14, G17]
Grays:  W0, W2, W5, W7
Yellows:  Y00, Y15, Y19

I used a die from the Stitched Hillside Borders to make the ocean floor. I die-cut it from white cardstock, then ink-blended it with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide inks. Then, I dotted it with brown Copic markers to making it sandy (E35 and E37).

I embossed my sentiment at the top of my ocean/alcohol ink panel and then adhered my ocean bottom piece with foam adhesive before creating my holiday ocean scene! I hope you like it! I really love that octopus! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

  1. Dear Caly – You did a remarkable job imitating that prompt from LF with your alcohol inks!! Wow! I love the LF set you used – I have it and could re-create this using my alcohol inks. Your work is always stellar (too bad there’s not a “star” fish (get it?) and I enjoy seeing what you have created. You give me a ton of inspiration. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!
