Jessica’s Beautiful Birdhouse

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Color Inspiration challenge! I love the colors in the challenge and today I decided to focus on the shades of blue and the icy feel of the photo!

To start I blended Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink onto a panel of Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock. I splattered the panel with water and white gouache to create a snowy background. Then I added snowflakes die-cut from the Mini Snowflakes and Stitched Snowflakes die sets with Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from Den Sweet Den onto dark blue cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a thin label.

Next I die-cut the birdhouse and pole from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On with Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock. I wanted to soften the color so I blended over the cardstock with white pigment ink. I die-cut the birds and trim from white cardstock and then colored the birds with Copic markers. I used the backside of one of the birds to get a reverse image. I also die-cut the Mini Wreath from white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers as well. I used the following colors for my images:
Wreath – BG72 ,BG65, BG78
Berries, Bow, and Birds – R35, R37, R39, R59, and 1000

I stamped the branches from Frosty Fairy Friends onto dark blue cardstock and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder. I backed the birdhouse with the dark blue cardstock to create a little nest. Then I tucked one bird inside the house and adhered all my pieces to the snowy panel. I used foam mounting tape for the sentiment and bird to give them a little extra dimension. Finally I added a few accents with a white gel pen to finish the card!

And that’s it! You have one more weekend to get crafty and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend! –Jess

Have a happy weekend! Thanks so much, Fawnatics friends!

Happy Monday, Fawnatics friends! It’s time for another fun Color Inspiration challenge! You can use just the colors or combine them with the image to inspire you!

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, December 20th 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 was inspired to create with this color board!

Franci crafted a fun Beary Happy Holidays scene using the frosty color palette!

Caly used the pretty berries and boughs, colored in the challenge colors, from Frosty Fairy Friends to recreate the pretty inspiration image!

Karin‘s cute tag features a pair of Winter Narwhals in jaunty scarves!

Joyce used the challenge color palette to color all the images in her Holiday Helpers scene!

Christy used the challenge color palette to create a magical Frosty Fairy Friends card!

Samantha‘s Stitched Mountain scene has lots of Yeti or Not whimsy! How cool is that amazing magenta sky!

Samantha C combined cute images from Snow Cool, Beary Happy Holidays, Critters in the Arctic and Critters in the Snow! She used deep, bold shades of the colors in the inspiration palette and Mini Snowflakes to create a frosty scene!

Jessica was also inspired to create with our Frosty Fairy Friends set! She pulled the pinky red color out of the palette to make it the focal point of her glittery design!

Jenn used the Making Frosty Friends snowman to create an adorable winter greeting! She combined Quinn’s ABCs and Harold’s ABCs to spell out the fun sentiment!

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 89 tomorrow!
