Fairy Bayou Birthday Card

Hey friends, it's Christy here with another magical fairy garden card using Hello Bluebird. This time I had the song Blue Bayou on my mind, and so I wanted to create a scene with a fairy hopping across lily pads, as if she were playing hopscotch. I pulled together images from Fairy Dance, Fairy Garden, and Fishin' Hole, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.

For the background, I started with a panel of Bristol and blended on some Distress Oxide Inks. I used Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, and Chipped Sapphire for the sky, and Salty Ocean with Chipped Sapphire for the blue bayou. Then I die cut another piece of Bristol using the Pond Builder and blended on Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Script in the center and popped the grass up with foam tape.

I added my images to the scene and finished off the card with some clear sequins and Stardust Stickles.

Rainforest Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #171

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this one is so much fun! We've got a Bingo board for you to use, which gives you so many possibilities! You can get Bingo by doing a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line. For my card, I went with a diagonal line, going from the top left to the bottom right, so paper trimmer, critter, birthday, ink blending, and glitter.

I brought in a bunch of stamp sets for this one, including Simply Celebrate More Critters, Toucan Do It, Wood You Be Mine, Beary Rainy Day, and Ahoy Matey. I colored the image with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I trimmed out the Giant Happy Birthday to You from Woodgrain Light Brown Cardstock and Chocolate Bar and glued them together to create a drop shadow with the woodgrain cardstock on top.

For the background, I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto some Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock using the Birch Tree Stencils to create the look of a jungle or rainforest. In the center I used Twisted Citron and darkened that up at the top and bottom with Mowed Lawn. I trimmed off a little bit with my paper trimmer and glued it to a Noble Fir card base. I popped up my sentiment and images and finished with a little Stardust Stickles. BINGO!
