Hello there,
I'm thrilled to be back with this new set of Lawn Fawn cards & video featuring the cutest bunnies and a color palette I'd never used on a Valentine card before, and how fun it was to use this purple, red and pink combo!
I started off by cutting a Checkered Hearts Backdrop Landscape panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I entirely covered it with spun sugar oxide ink to get a soft base, and then used the Outline Hearts stencil along with wilted violet, kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and candied apple oxide inks to create a super fun background. Next I mixed Liquid Stardust with water, added sparkling splatters to my panel with a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.
Next, I went a bit more further than just having a colorful Checkered Hearts Backdrop Landscape panel. I also wanted each of the tiny heart openings to have a different background. So I cut small pieces of Sugarplum, Guava, Ballet Slippers, Tomato and Lilac cardstock, cut 1mm foam squares in half, attached four sticky pieces around each heart at the back of the panel, and stuck my small pieces of colored cardstock, just like putting puzzle pieces together. Still at the back of my panel, I attached 2mm foam squares in each empty space, peeled the backing papers off, and then stuck my panel to a white card base. But I felt like I needed to tone my background down a tiny bit, so I cut a Postage Rectangle panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it, and temporarily taped it to my card using washi tape.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces I needed to build the bunnies out of colored cardstock and pattern papers: 80lb White, Fog, Narwhal, Storm Cloud, Sugarplum, Tomato, Ballet Slippers, and Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime 6x6 papers. And as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:
• Build A Bunny - bunnies • Build A Bunny Accessories - bows • Build A Critter Winter Accessories - sweaters, sleeves, hearts on the sweaters • Build A Critter Christmas Accessories - headbands • Tiny Gift Box Dog Add-On - bunny snouts • Hearts & Stars Skinny Tag - heart cheeks.
When the bunnies were done, I applied glossy accents to the nose and heart on the sweater, white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks and added white details using a white gel pen.
Next I cut three Scripty Xoxo out of Guava cardstock, cut a Scripty Xoxo Outlined Add-On out of 80lb White cardstock, stacked the three pink words on top of each other using liquid glue, and then attached the whole piece to the outlined element using liquid glue again.
Before attaching everything to my card, I needed some extra elements to complete it. I cut an envelope out of 80lb White cardstock, a heart out of Guava cardstock and a letter out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using Little Letter dies. I folded the envelope and sealed it with the heart, masked the stitched edges off of the letter with washi tape, covered the letter panel with hickory smoke oxide ink, and then stamped "Hoppy Heart Day" in black using stamps from Henry's Build A Sentiment Love + Henry's Build A Sentiment Bunny Puns.
Next, I brought my card back, stuck all my pieces (bunnies, envelope, letter and xoxo) to the Vellum panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, I removed the washi tape that was keeping the Vellum panel in place, added liquid glue at the back of that Vellum panel, but only behind the elements, and then attached my panel to the card. Finally I applied glossy accents to the heart on the envelope, and added white details to the envelope and xoxo using a white gel pen.
And I created an almost identical card using the Checkered Hearts Backdrop Portrait die. On this card, I applied shaded lilac oxide ink as the soft base for my background, used the Giant Xoxo die, and created the sentiment using the Henry's Build A Sentiment Bunny Puns stamp set only.
