Red, White, & Blue Picnic Scene – CIC #572 Reminder

by with No Comment Cupcake InspirationsLawn Fawn

Hello friends! This is the reminder for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #572, which is red, white, and blue.

This week I’m sharing a red, white, and blue picnic-themed card perfect for the start of summer!

Using the Lawn Fawn How You Bean Stamp Set, I started by stamping some images and colouring them using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

  • Beans: R8, R2, R1
  • Jar: MG060, BGII03, MG020
  • Top: CGII04, CG2, CGII00

I then used the Lawn Fawn Cloudy Stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide to create the sky background. I also used Salty Ocean Disress Oxide on a piece of cardstock I cut to make it look as if the beans were exploding out of the jar!

As for the picnic blanket, I cut thin strips of red and white cardstock and weaved them together to resemble a classic red and white picnic blanket perfect for this challenge!

To finish, I attached everything to a mini slimline card base.

Simple Red, White, and Blue Scene – CIC #572

by with One Comment Cupcake InspirationsDistress OxideHello Bluebird

Hello friends! Today I’m so excited to announce that I will be joining the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge team! A ‘sweet’ challenge blog where we use cupcakes to inspire our creations!

For this week’s new challenge, the theme is red, white, and blue.

I first started by creating a scene fit for a rainy day. I used Lost Shadow Distress Oxide and the Lawn Fawn Cloudy Stencil for the sky. Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans Distress Oxide, along with Simon Hurely’s Scene Maker stencil for the grass. To go over the top of my outdoor scene, I attached a panel of cardstock with a circle cut-out using foam tape.

I stamped an image from the Hello Bluebird Rain or Shine Stamp set and coloured it using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

  • Reds: R8, R2, R1, RV260, RV270
  • Blues: B2250, B250, B220
  • Greys:CG2, CGII00

I used the coordinating die set to die-cut some clouds that would go along with the scene.

I chose a sentiment from the Hello Bluebird Big Hugs Woodland Stamp set to match the theme of this card.
