Lawn Fawn & Hero Arts Big Thanks Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Lawn Fawn & Hero Arts Big Thanks Blog Hop!

We're celebrating Hero Arts 45 anniversary so Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts joined forces to design and release an adorable new and exclusive stamp set and coordinated dies called Big Thanks.

Below there is a little card I made using it but before talking about that, I want to wish all the Hero Arts crew a very big HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Hero Arts is a very important company in our industry and I'm happy to see it growing and keeping up inspiring all of us to create during all my years as cardmaker :) And now, here's my card hee hee:

I colored the background with Distress inks, then sprinkled more of the same inks on top plus some golden ink to add some shine. For the base of the card and grass, I used the new Gold Rush cardstock from Lawn Fawn, I love the suble golden sparkle on it!!
For the images, I used my alcohol markers. Look at those hippos and birds, so cute!!

To create the sentiment, I heat embossed it using white embossing powder over a brown cardstock and stamped one of the small sentences using brown ink just bellow the stripe of cardstock.
As a final touch I added some twine, also in dark brown.

Here you can see a full image of this super cute stamp set and coordinating dies:

Starry Summer night

Hello! :)
Today I want to share the card I've been working on lately. I had this idea long time ago and I didn't find the time to work on it until now. When I saw that the current Lawnscaping challenge theme was dimension I decided that I'd join it with this card :)

I had a lot of fun adding dimension to this card, cuting and poping the different elements at different heights to create a impression of depth in the scene. I hand draw the marshmallow and the stick is a piece of tree from the "Critters Down Under" set. The moon is from "Sunny Skies" and there's a how to here. I draw the little stars with a white gel pen.

Here's a closer pic so you can see better the dimension

I hope you like it, I'm happy with the final result. I know it's a bit dark but it reminds me the awesome warm and starry Summer nights and fills my heart with peace and happiness :)

I missed the lasts Lawnscaping challenges and that makes me sad so I'm very happy to come back! If you have the chance, join the current challenge and take a look at the blog, there are tons of awesome projects to inspire you!
