Sending Koala Love

I had fun yesterday playing with my newest Lawn Fawn stamp sets.  I think my new favorite is Critters Down Under.  The little koala in the set is just the cutest!  I thought he would be perfect for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge, Color Splash:

Here is my card-with a splash of peachy pink:

Color splash challenges are THE hardest for me because I love lots of colors and patterns.  I do love this little guy, however.  I acgtually used him as a little experiment, too.  I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers instead of Copics.  There is an awesome deal on them this week at A.C. Moore ($7.88 for a set of 6), so I picked up the set of Warm Greys to try.  Definitely not the same quality as Copics, so I will definitely not be switching over.  However, with this sale, they are an inexpensive way to add to my colors as I build my Copic collection.

Oh, and to finish off my little koala, I added a super cute black nose with Ranger's Enamel Accents.  It makes is look like a real little nose!  Definitely going to try that again!

Thanks for popping by today! 



Delightful Winter Dressform

I just finished up my entry for the new Lawnscaping Challenge #1. The challenge was called "All About Snow" and entrants were encouraged to use Lawn Fawn stamps. I have 4 different sets of Lawn Fawn stamps, but none of them were winter-themed! I saw that Ashley Nguyen Newell, from the Lawnscaping DT, used a non-winter set with snowflake paper to create a cute birthday card. Great idea! I used my "Sew Lovely" dressform and the sentiment from "How Delightful". I paired these with snowy papers from Imaginisce, snowflake frames from Spellbinders, and a felt snowflake. The little ice skates were cut from patterned paper and hung over the corner of the frame. Doesn't everyone wear a little snowflake dress and matching skates when they go skating? :)

Also, remember my Peachy Birthday card? It made the Top 3 at CR84FN. Check out the new blinkie in the sidebar! :)
