Design Team Inspiration


Catherine was inspired to create with Jolly Christmas Tree, Snow Flurries Backdrop and Winter Big Scripty Sayings Hot Foil Plates. The Cheesy Christmas mice are such a cute addition.


It’s a Cozy Christmas with Samantha! She also used Scripty Wishes to complete the charming greeting!


Karin gave the happy mice of Cheesy Christmas a dramatic red inked background. Her sentiment is from Winter Village.


Mimi created a bokeh background on Black Licorice cardstock using Picket Fence Distress Oxide ink and Lawn Fawn ink cubes. She die-cut Jolly Christmas Tree from both Pixie Dust and white cardstock inking the garland circles with the festive colors.


Samantha combined Christmas Dreams, Winter Dragon and Furry and Bright with colorful layers of cardstock in the inspiration colors.


Franci got the whole Frosty Family together in a fun nighttime scene with Snowy Backdrop.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 183 – Monochromatic

- Nancy Krueger 6 Comments


Hi Friends! We are back to challenge you with a Monochromatic theme! For this challenge you will create a project using only shades of one color. It’s a great challenge for using our Coloring Stencils to color your stamped images with several shades of ink in green or blue or whatever color you choose. Have fun trying something new if you have never tried a monochromatic project before. Our Design Team has some fantastic inspiration below to get you started.

Design Team Inspiration


Shades of purple are perfect for Christy‘s batty scene featuring Fangtastic Friends! She even stenciled the moon from Nighttime Sky with pale purple!


Mimi also used Nighttime Sky Stencil to create an eerie scene for the Wild Wolves! She mixed warm and cool grays to color the images and ink the Spooky Forest Backdrop!


Karin‘s unique design uses neutrals with blue to send love! She combined Giant Outlined Love Ya with Radiant Heart Backdrop and Winter Birds! She found her sentiment in Treat Cart Sentiment Add-On.


Yellow is such a cheerful color and Samantha used it with adorable images from Hive Five and Fox Costumes Before ‘n Afters! She stenciled lots of warm yellow shades with the Corner Rainbow Stencil.


Joyce chose shades of pink to make a “very sweet holiday” card! She used Candy Cane Background Stencils to create an all-over pattern. Then she added Cute Candy Canes with a sweet pink bow.


Samantha used Watercolor Wishes and Rainbow Ever After papers in subtle purple shades to determine her monochromatic scheme. She combined Giant Let it Snow with Snowball Fight critters, then framed the fun with a Snow Flurries Backdrop.


Blue is so pretty for a winter card! Catherine used Winter Birds with Magic Iris Holly Wreath Add-On to make a fun shaker design. Her square shaped card is styled with Stitched Scalloped Square Frames and a square panel cut with Stitched Windy Backdrop. She finished the card by layering a white Scripty Joy on a blue Scripty Joy Outline Add-On.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Monochromatic challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 182 – Sightseeing!

Design Team Inspiration


Karin has great memories of a vacation in Costa Rica! She would love to return to see the wildlife, beaches and rainforests once more! Her window design is filled with critters from Toucan Do It, I Like Naps and Toadally Awesome. She created the rainforest scene with A Bug Deal leaves and branches and also Palm Trees and Happy Hibiscus.


Christy dreams of a trip to France! After hand-drawing an Eiffel Tower (so amazing), she filled a scene with images from Bicycle Built for You, Apple-solutely Awesome, Fly High, Treat Cart Add-On: Coffee and Tea-rrific Day!


The desert is the destination of choice for Samantha, so she used Critters in the Desert to create a fun design! I love the clever snapshot she included with Selfie Frames and Tiny Friends!


Franci used the iconic Lucky Cat from My Lucky Charm to represent her desire to visit Japan! She made the simple design with stenciled birch trees in the background!


Bon voyage! Adventure awaits on a cruise depicted in Catherine‘s tropical card! As always, she used some clever swaps to create the cruise ship. The bat wings from Woodland Critter Huggers Bat Add-On became the bow of the ship, while she used dies from Build-A-House and Build-A-Barn to cut windows for the upper decks. She used Palm Trees, Ocean Wave Borders and Sandy Beach Accents for the tropical locale, then she added luggage and a sentiment from Car Critters: Road Trip, a mouse from You Autumn Know and a hat from Special Delivery.


Narwhals from Critters in the Arctic and Mermaid for You represent Joyce‘s desire to visit Norway! Her charming card also features Just Stitching Hearts and the Bubbles Stencil.


Samantha is looking forward to a road trip to see more states in the U.S. with her family! And what better way to show that than to create a card with Car Critters, On the Road and Stitched Hillside Borders! The balloon and sentiment are from Party Animal.


Mimi‘s brilliant card shows us a fun photographic safari, the ultimate sightseeing trip! She laid the foundation with Desert Canyon Backdrop and a fun watering hole. Then she added critters from Wild for You, and Year Four along with Bicycle Built for You, Dad + Me, Ocean Shell-fie and Kanga-rrific Add-On. I love how she created binoculars using the glasses from Little Woodland Library.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Sightseeing challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 181 – Awesome Autumn!
