An Underwater Scene with Franci

Franci shares some adorable You Are Sublime creativity for our Color Inspiration challenge!

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a fun “Under the Sea” themed card!

First of all I die cut 2 Dotted Rectangle Stackables from white cardstock. I die cut one of the rectangles with the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders die and the Stitched Wave Borders and then colored all the pieces with Distress inks. I used Walnut Stain for the sand, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon for the sea and Squeezed Lemonade for the sunny sky.

I stamped and colored all the critters and seaweeds/corals from the You are Sublime set and I added some details with a white gel pen. I assembled my card gluing all the layers and I die cut my images then attach them with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive. Finally I stamped my sentiment in black ink and mounted my card to a coordinated card base.

I had so much fun with these ocean cuties!
Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a lovely week!

- Nancy Krueger 14 Comments

Summer is here and with it bright, sunny days! Let our new Color Challenge inspire your creativity! You can use all the colors, some of the colors and/or the fabulous beachy image to jump-start a fun crafty project featuring Lawn Fawn products! This challenge will be open until Sunday July 15th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner 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!

Now let’s see how our fabulous Design Team used the Color Inspiration!

Karin combined Happy Village, Village Shops and Winter Village to create this sweet scene using the bright color palette!

I love Samantha‘s whimsical scene starring a mermaid and Nessie (from Mermaid for You and Lovable Legends)! How clever that she used the Bayou Backdrop under the vellum “water”!

Peekaboo Backdrop and Village Shops are paired up on Joyce‘s adorable card! The cheerful color story was inspired by our challenge colors!

I love Franci‘s colorful Shadow Box Card! The way she place the One in a Chameleon cuties allows the box to be turned upside down and still be upright! So clever!

Jessica created a beautiful underwater scene for her Manatee-rific pair! Again Bayou Backdrop looks amazing as aquatic plants!

I love how Christy used the Perfectly Plaid Spring – Hydrangea paper as the base for her colorful Coaster Critters card! The happy plaid brings in the inspiration colors wonderfully!

I love Samantha‘s colorful layered Stitched Wave Borders! Her sunny watercolor card uses the inspiration colors and the wave image as well! She gave our Duh-nuh shark lots of cool detail!

Jenn used Manatee-rific and the die elements from Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On to make a brilliant framed ocean scene!

The Chunky Glitter adds sparkly fun!

Nancy used the colors to inspire a Scalloped Treat Box island beach shack! The new Dog House Add-On was used to make the striped siding and the door and windows are from Spring House Add-On. The sun from Spring Showers was first die cut with Stitched Windy Backdrop to give it a fun swirly pattern! The trees, coconuts and little crab are in the Palm Trees die set!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 31 tomorrow!
