Lawn Fawn for Paper Funday

Hi friends! Can you believe it is July already? I should be making Christmas cards now...but I was in a summer mood.

For this month at The Paper Funday Challenges one of our sponsors is Lawn Fawn! Who doesn't love all the cuteness of Lawn Fawn?

I choose 3 Lawn Fawn sets (stamps and dies): Gleeful Gardens, Oh Gnome and All the Speech Bubbles and mixed and matched them for these 4 cards. I stamped multiple images on Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Card Stock with Altenew Obsidian Black Pigment Ink. I added Altenew Clear Crisp Embossing Powder while still wet and heat set. All images were water colored with Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set.

The base cards each have a different Masking Stencil from Taylored Expressions: Oval, Rectangles, Circles and Square Windows. I just bought a few Gina K. Designs inks and wanted to try them out with ink blending. I just used 2 on each card: Turquoise Sea and Jelly Bean Green. I really liked how they smoothed out after blending.

Then the fun began - just playing with the images and seeing what look good to me. So fun! 

Thanks for stopping by and come join us over at the Challenge page this month and let's see what you create. Anything Goes!

I will also be submitting to NBUS for I have not used the Lawn Fawn or Gina K. products before.
