Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #112

Happy Friday friends!

I have been busy working on lots of holiday crafty projects, but right now most the most important are Christmas/holiday cards. When I saw the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge was Make the Sentiment the Star I knew I wanted to use the new Lawn Fawn Giant Let It Snow die.

I created an embossed background using one layer from the Lawn Fawn Snowflakes stencil and an watermark ink pad. I lay the stencil over a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"" panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock where I wanted my snowflakes to be. I flipped it over and taped the stencil to the back of the panel. Then I flipped it back so that the stencil is on top. It's not necessary to do it this way, this is just the way I prefer to do it.

I prepped the panel well before embossing  using an embossing buddy. Then I pressed the watermark ink pad right onto the stencil until I covered my whole panel. I carefully removed the stencil, because it is a bit juicy, and I was left with the snowflake images from the stencil embossed with watermark ink. I sprinkled the panel with white embossing powder leaving me with a panel I could ink blend. I used Distress Oxide inks--Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire. The panel was trimmed down to 5 1/4" x 4".

I cut the Lawn Fawn Let It Snow die 4 times from white heavyweight cardstock and once from Lawn Fawn Pixie Dust cardstock. I glued all the layers together and added it to the snowflake panel with liquid glue. I added the panel to a white top folding card base with foam tape.

Now you know I couldn't have a card with a tag!

I made the sentiment that same way--4 layers of white heavyweight cardstock and a Pixie Dust layer on top! The tag was cut using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Gift Tag. I tied a cluster of silver bells--mat, shiny and sparkly with silver metallic cord.

Thanks so much for stopping in today, have a fabulous weekend!
