Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello there! Today I’m sharing another Lawn Fawn Valentine I created that’s very similar to the one I posted this last Wednesday (which you can see here) except I used a few different stamp sets. I used the same colors for the current Color Throwdown Challenge which are red, pink and gray. For my card today, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Party Animal along with the Party Animal dies. This was a fairly quick and easy card to put together. I started with a white square card base, then added a panel of pure poppy cardstock that I had stamp part of my sentiment on along the bottom, then I added a strip of smoky shadow cardstock through the center then tied on some black & white bakers twine. Next I used the Stitched Mini Scallop Square Stax and die cut a piece of hibiscus burst cardstock. After that, I cut a square of watercolor paper and watercolored it with red and pink watercolor. While that was drying, I stamped my bear and heart images and colored them with Copic markers. I also stamped the Happy from the Happy, Happy, Happy stamp set and die cut it using the Happy, Happy, Happy dies. Once my watercolored square was dry, I stamped some little red hearts throughout the watercolored area and I adhered it to my scalloped piece and attached it to my card with foam tape. I added my bear with using foam tape and glued on the die cut Happy. For some added detail, I used a white gel pen on the bear and added some silver glitter pen dots to the background.

The watercolored backgrounds for both this card and my last were both easy and fun to create, much less work than creating a scene, but still give some color and texture for the stamped images.
