Karin's February inspiration on the Lawn Fawn Blog

   Hi Everyone !

I'm still in a Valentine mode and created this soft and sweet 













I started by making my cardbases and then cover the fronts with  panels cut from the beautiful LIGHT BROWN WOODGRAIN cardstock. I then cut top borders using LACY-BORDERS
STITCHED-SCALLOPED-BORDERS from cream cardstock

I then diecut lots of flowers from different sets that I assembled and added to the card. Last I diecut the bow from build-a-barrel-apple from LF Gold cardstock and from a scrap piece of darker gold to create dimension.

Now when I need a card I can simply add the numbers for a birthday or a sentiment banner and I have the perfect card for (almost) any occasion.

. 

Now pop over to the Lawn Fawn Blog for awesome cards from the super talented team - so inspiring!.

143 Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Show us Where You Live: feature something unique to your city, state or country

  Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time the challenge is to show us where you live - I am Swedish and here's my take:







The Dalcarnian horse is a Swedish icon: 

  

I started by making my cardbase and then covered the front with a portrait-heart-garland-backdrop panel diecut from cardstock. I added gold hearts to the garlands 

I created a heart flag using lacy heart stackables and window-scene-spring-die  

The Dalcarnian horse was mad from the horse in the Hay There set and the letters I used for SWEDEN are from henrys-abcs.
