Belindas borders

Hello.

I have been having a play with the lawn fawn set Belinda's borders.

I wanted to show that you don't have to use them just as a border.

This first card i simply shaped the stamp to make a rainbow.

I used distress inks for all of the colours.

This is quite simple to do.

Although as you get to the smaller parts its harder to shape the stamp without it trying to pop up lol.

I used two lawn fawn alphabet stamp sets you can see them here.

For this card  used the stamp in layers of similar colours going from dark to light..

Then added one of the butterflies from Flutterby.

I coloured the butterfly with distress inks in matching colours.

The sentiment is from Happy everything.

Thanks for looking.

Belated Birthday

Happy Saturday.... again, these weeks are just whizzing by!!!

Today I have a belated birthday card to share with you that uses Lawn Fawn stamps with a few adaptations....

I do like to get the most from my stamps and sometimes just by sitting and looking at them for a while you see how else they can be used.... for instance the green flowering shrub behind the mail box is actually the top of the tree from 'Critters in the Burbs' which has been cut away from the trunk and then cut in half to make it peek out either side of the mail box. 

The turtle is from 'On the Mend' and has been carefully inked so as not to include the poultice on his shell and then I drew in the missing detail and gave him a letter to carry instead.

I've used Promarkers to colour the images and popped them up on foam dots, if you're wondering about the yummy grey chevron pattern paper... it is one of the twelve fun patterns from the 6x6 Lawn Fawn paper pad which will be in stock soon... keep your eyes peeled for it at the shop, because the patterns are just gorgeous :0)

Stamp sets used : You've Got Mail, Critters in the Burbs, Jessie's ABC, On the Mend, Bon Voyage

Thanks for popping by and hope you have a great weekend :0)
