More Inspiration for LawnFawnatics Challenge 149: Use only dies

  Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some more inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time our theme is Use only dies  and here's my take:




I started by making my cardbase and then cover the front with a panel. I then diecut anothe panel, slightly smaller that I ined before decorating with alphas and lemons - which I also had inked before attaching to the card.

Maybe the little heart is cheating but it just happened to be there on my desk and I thought it did a lot to the design instead of the dot...

May inspiration on the Lawn fawn Blog; Make use of your LF goodies in new ways!

 Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some inspiration on the LawnFawn blog. Today I wanted to inspire you to  make use of your LF goodies in new ways!


 I created some "frosting" - in this case Honey - for my letters by using the scalloped border die to cut the letters a second time half way. I then colored them and added gloss to the honey layer. 



For my second card I started by diecutting a panel that I dry embossed using a ??? and the new Honey Comb stencil. A light-table is of course ideal but if you don't have it - a window in daylight works just as fine (-:
I stamped my sentiment at the bottom and stamped, diecut and colored some of the adorable images from the sweet High Hive and added them to the embossed part.
A rectangle cardbase felt too strict and the scalloped prafe and fancy rectangles that are my favorites felt too big. Therefore I took out the large mini-scalloped rectangle from the scalloped slimline with hearts die set. I first cut my rectangle 2/3 of the way and the took it out and turned it the other way and cut the rest. (see pictures). That way I can get a customized scalloped base for my size of card.
I then added my embossed and decorated panel to the scalloped rectangle before adding it to a cardbase.


The LawnFawn blog is such a great place with lots of inspiration for your papercraft projects.
