Lawn Fawn | Mixed Media Birthday Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday card, featuring Lawn Fawn products, that I am entering into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #144 – All Things Birthday. This is not a card I just whipped up. It took time to watercolor the images and foil the background and letters! I learned a lot along the way.

  • Stamp images from the Wild for You and Party Animal sets in VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper; heat set ink. Color images using Zig and Tombow markers. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies.
    Fox: Zig Brown, Zig Oatmeal; Alligator: Tombow Sap Green, Zig Deep Green; Mouse: Tombow Chocolate; Elephant: Zig Dark Gray; Giraffe: Zig Brown, Zig Light Brown, Tombow Peach.
  • Cut Party Balloons from watercolor paper and color with markers (Zig Persian Blue, Tombow Warm Red, Zig Bright Yellow). Die-cut strings from white cardstock and attach to dried balloons.
  • Foil Iridescent foil to toner sheet. Cut sentiment from foil with Cole’s ABCs. Cut same letters from Silver Glitter Foam and glue to the back of the foiled letters (glitter side down). (Any foam that can be die cut would work.) Cut Matte Black cardstock 1 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches and adhere letters to strip.
  • Apply Therm O Web Blanco Transfer Gel through the straight Skinny Stripes stencil on Sea Glass cardstock. Once dry, foil with Rainbow Deco Foil. (Notice that the stripes of the rainbow go from left to right, not top to bottom.) Trim panel to A2-size and add to card base. Adhere Vellum to panel with double-sided tape along the bottom which the sentiment strip will cover.
  • Add sentiment strip to background, attach balloons to background, and attach animals with foam adhesive. Glue can be added to the vellum behind the items to help secure it to the foiled background.

  2. My guess is you don’t whip up any of your cards. Always lots of attention to details and these colors are great!

  3. Such a fun scene! I love the colors, the lineup of friends, and the way the vellum allows the stripes to show through while also keeping the shine a surprise for the inside of your card! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring!
