Peter Rabbit Inspiration with Christy

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song Challenge! I have been loving watching the entries come in and am blown away by your creativity!

For my card today, I wanted to depict another classic children’s tale and one of my personal favorites: Peter Rabbit. I pulled together images from Some Bunny, Happy Harvest, A Bug Deal, Our Friendship Grows, and Critters on the Farm to make it happen.

The first thing I needed to do was to alter my bunny and give him a little jacket just like Peter’s. So I drew it in pencil and then traced over it with a Memento Tuxedo Black Pen. I also altered the watering can to give it a top with a little opening at the front, to resemble the one in the illustrations. Then I colored all my images with Copic markers to match as closely as possible, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I took the second largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and die cut some Mermaid Cardstock for the sky. Then I used the Grassy Border on some Cilantro for the grass, and the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders on Ground Coffee for the dirt. I stamped a sentiment from Some Bunny at the top of the sky panel in Peacock Ink.

To give the card a cozy look, I added a piece of patterned paper from the Perfectly Plaid Remix 6×6, die cut with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables to my Speckled Eggshell card base. Then I popped my focal panel up with foam tape and adhered my images with liquid glue to create the nostalgic scene in Mr. MacGregor’s garden. I also added a bit of Stardust Stickles for a little sparkle and shine.

I also finished off the inside of the card by stamping another classic scene from the book, but you can check that out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

If you haven’t had a chance to play along in our challenge yet, there’s still time! The Inspired By challenge will be open until Sunday, April 4th at 11:59PM ET. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Happy crafting, friends! Have a wonderful weekend!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 95 – Card Sketch

- Nancy Krueger 10 Comments

Hello Fawnatics friends! Welcome to a new challenge! For this challenge Jenn has created a fun Card Sketch to inspire your creativity! Your card can be any theme or style as long as we can see how the sketch influenced your design!

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, February 28th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Let’s see how our Design Team used the Card Sketch to inspire them.

Samantha M used the sketch to place her cute unicorn, rainbow and clouds in her beautiful scene!

Christy used Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait to follow the sketch. She created cute little vignettes using Critters on the Farm!

Karin followed the sketch pretty closely to create a beautiful wedding card! She layered Lacy Heart Stackables with Cole’s ABCs to spell LOVE. Then she used the vines and flowers from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On to add pretty detail. She finished the card with a sentiment from Swan Soirée.

Jessica replaced the hearts with the cute typewriters from You’re Just My Type to follow the sketch. I love how the sentiment is continued on each sheet of typing paper. She finished this fun anniversary design with a sentiment from Happy Happy Happy!

Samantha C created a fun birthday card using Beam Me Up! She used the sketch to place these super cute images. I love how the “beam” connects the two elements!

Joyce used the sketch creatively by omitting one of the hearts! Then she used Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables as windows to arrange the Special Delivery images.

Franci created a happy design by replacing the hearts with adorable little flan from Sweet Friends! The tiny strawberries and hearts add cute detail to her clean and simple card.

Caly combined Candy Hearts and XOXO Backdrop: Portrait to create a happy design for Valentine’s Day!

Jenn used the new Distress Ink color Kitsch Flamingo to create a fun Flamingo Together design! You see the sketch reflected in the placement of the Stitched Hearts and the pair of flamingos!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 94 What’s the Weather tomorrow!
