Tuesday with Toni: Lawn Fawn Really High Five


Hello, Doodlebugs fans!  Are you ready for some cute and colorful inspiration?!  I'm showcasing the Lawn Fawn Really High Five set but, of course, couldn't resist mixing it with some of my other favorite products.


I started the card by stamping the MFT SY Scene Builder stamp onto the card base. I colored the hills with my Copic airbrush. I then sponged Distress Oxides with the MFT Mini Cloud Edges stencil. I love how the clouds turned out!


I then stamped, cut and colored the Lawn Fawn Really High Five images using Copics.


I added one of the Lawn Fawn Dandy Day mice for good measure. So cute!!!!


I went ahead and made a second card using Really High Five, pairing it with the MFT Mini Cloud Edges and Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillsides stencil. Do you recognize the scalloped border?  It's the Lawn Fawn Flippin' Awesome Add-on with the center removed!


Have an uplifting rest of your week!  If you'd like to check out my other creations, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Friday with Amy: hey cu-tea | Sunny Studio Stamps




I recently received some of the new release from Sunny Studio Stamps and was thoroughly inspired by them:


I also added these earlier release products:


Here's how everything came together:


These are the copics I used:

R20 | R21
BG70 | BG10
V15 | V17
C4

The teal green is Spectrum Noir GT1 | GT2.


Occasionally my daughter and I will meet up for lunch in Seattle at a food truck.  They're quite popular in the area that we both work in.  I've been missing Boba Tea lately so I knew I wanted to combine these sets together.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bonus Day with Toni: Sunny Studio Sea You Soon


Well, I surprised myself this week and managed another card, this time using the new Sunny Studio Sea You Soon and Tropical Scenes sets paired with the older SS Best Fishes set!


I blended the background using Distress Oxides and a Honey Bee blender brush. You can see that I spattered the blues with water as well as added some embossed bubbles.


I colored up the Sunny Studio images using Copics.  Notice the seaweed behind the [underwater] Tropical Scene; those I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and colored with yellow Zig 050, carefully so the non-watercolor paper wouldn't pill.


Positioning all the colored images was so fun! What a cute little scene . . . from within my shark cage, thank you very much.  LOL.


I'll see you next week with more cuteness!  In the meantime, if you'd like to check out my other creations, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Tuesday with Toni: Tim Holtz Florals


How are you today, DB fans?  I have a trio of cards for you using the Tim Holtz Flower Shop and the Layering Stencil Bouquet.  They all turned out quite different but used similar techniques.


With the first card I sponged Distress Oxide Mustard Seed onto the card front then Distress Oxide Evergreen Bough and Mowed Lawn through the Layering Stencil Bouquet.  I used my MISTI to stamp the Flower Shop image  a few times with Versafine Onyx Black.

I used Distress Oxide Wilted Violet to stamp the text with the main sentiment (MFT Essential Sentiments) embossed.


With this card I experimented with the stenciled background, using the MFT Small Brick and Mini Cloud Edges to create a soft blended look.  Aren't the bricks giving way to clouds a cool effect?

I stamped the Tim Holtz Flower Shop image using Distress Oxide Vintage Photo. I stamped the background text with Distress Oxide Ripe Persimmon.


On the last card I used a variety of Adirondack Alcohol Inks on the Yupo card front then stenciled the Layering Stencil Bouquet using gold embossing paste.  Isn't that gorgeous?  I love the gold on that bright, colorful background.

I used the Pretty Pink Posh Hummingbird Thanks set with an embossed MFT Essential Sentiment.



I hope these cards inspired you and that you'll experiment the next time you craft.  Have fun!  In the meantime, you can check out my other creations, by visiting my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.
