Lawn Fawn "Winter Alpaca" collaboration with Lynnea Hollendonner

Hello! I’ve got a fun new card with a video over on my YouTube channel too. This card is a collab with my friend Lynnea Hollendonner. We both used the stamp set “Winter alpaca” by Lawn Fawn and created two very different cards. I will link below to her blog post and YouTube video

For my card I started by using broken China distress oxide ink to create part of my background. I used a Dollarama makeup brush to blend the ink on some card stock to create the sky. (I have a YouTube video coming Monday with more details on the Dollarama make up brush) Then to add some detail to my sky I used a spray bottle and added some water to the ink and dabbed off the ink with a paper towel.

Then I was ready for the stamp set “winter alpaca” from Lawn Fawn. I stamped the alpaca image in memento tuxedo black ink. I got put my Spectrum Noir markers to color this in. I used BG6, BG2, BT7, BT5 and EB1. To add some details to the alpaca’s scarf I used a Sakura white pen.

I fussy cut the alpaca out. Then I stamped a little suitcase I had in my collection with vintage photo distress ink. I used the BT5 Spectrum noir marker to add some color to the suitcase.

Then I was ready to create my scene for this I used two lawn Fawn does. For the mountains I used stitched mountain boarder die. For the snowy hills I used simple stitched hillside dies. To create all these elements with the dies I used my Big Shot machine to cut them out.

For the sentiment I used the one that came with this stamp set because how cute is “Baby it’s cold outside, alpaca my scarf”?

I used the anti static pouch to prepare the surface for stamping. I used Simon Says Stamp cleat embossing and watermark ink. Then I grabbed the Simon Says Stamp fine detail white embossing powder and sprinkled that over the ink. At that point I was ready to melt it with my marvey heat tool. After that I grabbed the snowflakes from the set and did the same technique with the same supplies to add to the sky.

The next part I used the Scotch Advanced Tape Glider to start adhering the die cuts together to create my scene. I used beacon gem tac glue to adhere the die cut snow on the tops of the mountain.

To finish off my sentiment I used Memento Luxe tuxedo black ink as I wanted this part to really stand out and be bold. I used Simon Says Stamp clear embossing powder to raise the ink and make it stand out even more. So again I used the marvey heat tool to melt the embossing powder.

To adhere the alpaca and suitcase to the scene I used foam squares from Dollarama. Then as a final touch I added some morning dew Nuvo crystal dots and added it to the snow on the mountain tops.
