Lawn Fawn Dad + Me

Hi Lou here with you today to provide you with my monthly dose of inspiration.

Bec has so many great Lawn Fawn stamps and Dies in the store, and they really are super versatile.

Along with being versatile they are also loads of fun.

As you can see here I have made a card for my hubby from the kids.  

The set I have used is called Dad+Me and the matching Dad + Me Lawn Cuts

The sentiment is perfect as he does think he is pretty A-MOOSE-ING.

The set also comes with different elements so you can dress up your characters a bit.

My husband always wears a hat outside and has glasses so I added those 2 images to my "father moose".

I used the stamps from the set to make the background, I just stamped the separate elements  with different coloured ink adding things until it looked ok.

Then on a separate piece of marker friendly paper I stamped the father and son with memento ink and cut the images with the corresponding dies in my cuttlebug.

I then popped up the characters with foam tape.

Thanks loads for joining me

Bokeh Technique With Die cutting

 Hi everyone, 

Just popping in to share my mid month DT post for Bizzy Bec's...

Okay here is a sneak peek of my card... as you can see it is inky, using the Bokeh technique, plus loads of die cutting.

So here it's getting inky. Cut a sheet of Neenah heavyweight white cardboard (it blends really well). Used Distress inks (Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles and Peeled Paint), with some memento inks - Bamboo Shoots + Pear Tart.
One piece was inked "ombre" with dusters, other was smooshed.
** I did do more inking on both after taking this photo.

Die cutting the bottom of the inked ombre piece.
TIP: 1.keep die cut a base in fun foam piece.
2. squeeze Tombow glue over fun foam die cut (whilst still in foam base).
3. Let it dry to get tacky, then you have time to position the top die cut well before adhering. Tombow becomes re-positionable after drying some, I guess this applies to all tacky glues.
  Double layered *the Memory Box Flower branch, *Pinpoint Circle frame + fun foam on Music die.

The Bokeh part: 1.cut different sized circle dies for a template to ink around.
2. Use sponge applicator and chalk ink and various layers of circles assorted sizes.
3.You need base ink utterly dry avoiding not have greenish circles, ie no ink transfer. 4. It's better to dry chalk ink off as you go, so circles keep more distinctive.
This piece is the smooshed ink sheet with circles on it, will be used later. 

Completed card. This is a partial CASE of this card on Pinterest - from Splitcoast Stampers, but couldn't find person's name.

Products used:

Pre-order Neenah 110lb heavy weight white cardboard.

Pre-order Memory Box Blushing Flower Branch Die

Pre-order Memory box Pinpoint Circle Layers

Pre-order Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Melody Die 

Pre-order Distress inks
