Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #54 Perfect for Parties - Trio of Summer Party Invitations

Hello there,

Today I'm sharing with you a trio of summer party invitations for the Lawn Fawnatics "Perfect for Parties" Challenge. These three cards follow the same design but with different colors and characters. Hope you'll like them!

I'm also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp "Vacation" Monday Challenge.

I first started by cutting circles out of Strathmore bristol cardstock. And these are the different distress inks I used: spun sugar and picked raspberry,  squeezed lemonade and mustard seed, and tumbled glass and salty ocean.

I begin with the lightest color that  applied all over the circle. Then I used a stencil and the darkest color to create rays. And I also added drops of the same color.

Next I stamped a lot of images on Neenah solar white cardstock using potting soil ink by Ranger. And I colored them using my alcohol markers. When the coloring was done, I cut the images using the coordinating dies, and started to assemble the cards.

I started by attaching the circle on a cream card base using foam tape. Next I stuck a hill border down using foam adhesive squares. It was cut out of craft cardstock and my sentiment was white heat embossed on it. The palm trees were attached using foam adhesive squares and the thread using liquid glue. And then I adhered the rest of the images using liquid, foam squares or glue dots.

I stamped sun glasses on the sun and used a black gel pen to make them stand out. And I also added three speech bubbles on each card. One saying "You're invited" and two smaller ones saying "Yay!"

Some final touches: I used a white gel pen to add highlights on the sunglasses, and I applied white Nuvo drops in the center of the flowers.
