Lawnscaping Challenge #86 - Watercoloring - The Sky's The Limit

Hi there! I'm popping back to my blog to enter another Lawnscaping Challenge - Watercoloring.

 

 

 

This is going to be a super quick post so that I can get to bed - leaving tomorrow to teach flute camp in the Poconos and still have to finish packing. But, since the challenge ends while I'll be away, I've got to take a few minutes to upload my entry now :)

I focused on using just one set from Lawn Fawn - Blue Skies. I heat embossed the images in white onto watercolor paper and then colored everything with Tombow markers (colors 443, 925, 725, 173 and 685) which I watered down with a watercolor pen. I added sparkle to the hot air balloons and clouds with my clear Wink of Stella brush pen and then added glossy accents to the hot air balloons to give them some added dimension. Hope you like my card!

Lawnscaping Challenge #85 - Summer Color Combo - It's a BOY!

For the current Lawnscaping Challenge I was inspired by the colors we were required to use, of course, but also by the exciting news my husband and I found out a few days ago - we're expecting a little boy!! So, I'm 20 weeks and halfway through my first pregnancy and we just had our anatomy scan this past Thursday, which clearly showed that there's a little boy growing in there! The colors for this challenge screamed little boy to me, and I was excited to make a card to celebrate our news.

 

 

 

While I haven't been able to purchase anything yet from Lawn Fawn's May release (so many cute sets I'm itching to get my hands on - especially the robots now that I have a little boy coming into my life,) I have almost all of their sets released prior to that, many of which have yet to see ink! One of these is Quinn's Capital ABC's, believe it or not! I decided to combine those big letters with Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, which is technically a Christmas set, but I love using it for baby cards, and also with Sopie's Sentiments and some papers from Lawn Fawn's Let's Polka line to come up with this adorable card:

Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge - Anything Goes - Happy Anniversary

Yesterday, on July 4, 2014, my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! I made him a super cute card and mini-album full of photos of highlights from our special day.

I'm entering the card into the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge.

 

I actually used a bunch of scraps that have been sitting on my desk from previous projects to create this card. The dinos were colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and the paper is from Doodlebug Designs Stars and Stripes line from 2013. 

 

Just for fun, here are the pics of the accordion-folded mini album I made for his gift (first year anniversary it's traditional to give paper.)
