This time with the  Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit project So many fun things in this kit!!! I absolutely LOVE the beautiful patterned papers that came with this kit. So easy to make beautiful and elegant cards with.

I started by making a cardbase and diecutting a panel which I embossed. I then dicut the label and embossed that using the same embossing folder and then painted the floers using watercolors. I then stamped the sentiment before adding panel and lable to the card using the foam squares that also came with the kit!

August Inspiraton on the Lawn Fawn Blog

   Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some inspiration on the LawnFawn blog. Today I wanted to inspire you to make some cute welcome baby cards. 

I started by making my cardbase and then cover the front with a slightly smaller panel to which I had stamped my sentiment. I then cut another panel which I stamped my elephants. I masked them using postit notes and then inked the bg using distress ink and the super cute cloud-background-stencils . I spatterd the bg with white ink before removing the masking and coloring my images. I used copic markers for my coloring.

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