Little bit about our sponsorthis month 

 Lawn Fawn is a small company from Southern California that specializes in crafting products (clear stamps, dies, paper & more) that are fun and lively. Lawn Fawn was started in 2010 when Kelly Marie combined forces with her husband Mike and friend Erica with a mission in mind - to bring smiles into the lives of crafters!!

AND what did the adorable name come from.....

Lawn Fawn is named after a plastic deer that Kelly Marie received as a 21st birthday present. She named him Francois the Lawn Fawn, and he became a good luck charm of sorts. When deciding on a name for the company Lawn Fawn just seemed perfect. It is cute, whimsical and quirky, just like us!

Last month Off The Rails Scrapbooking were very fortunate to have Lawn Fawn as our sponsor. Not only did they sponsor the challenge but at the beginning of the month Kelly Marie Alvarez from Lawn Fawn spent time with our members on our facebook page for a live chat. While she was visiting us she gave away a stamp set to one lucky member. Thank you Kelly.

LIZZY H - using LAWN FAWN goodies on an ART JOURNAL page - whimsical look

Hi there, my scrapping friends! Lizzy with you today to show a step by step of an art journal page I created using some of this month's sponsor, LAWN FAWN, goodies. Namely, the die cut CLOUDS & SUNS...plus those cute hot air balloon stamps:)

I actually created this for a challenge last month....& I wanted a light, whimsical look for this page - & I wanted to NOT do lots of texture on the background - which is the way most Mixed Media is atm. I wanted to do something different.....so, are you ready to take the journey with me? 

Here we go!

Besides the elements from Lawn Fawn - I had no idea what to do, except I wanted the blue colours & to make the hot air balloons the focus. So, I dragged out some paper scraps & laid them on my pages:

 I covered my balloons, suns, clouds & the ink run paper, that I fussy cut with CLEAR liquitex....so when I added my background colour [made up of those 3 mediums bottom Left....because I had a bit left of each, so I decided I may as well mix them!!!] ...so they would not get 'absorbed' into the back ground!

Can you see the pale blue? Sort of blends in the paper, but still gives a bit of depth. The clouds have been stamped with StazOn [so it doesn't run when you add other wet mediums], then coloured with Gelatos. Around the clouds I've added Glimmer Glaze for a bit of sheen & softness. 

By this stage, I'd worked out the ink splat cut out, bottom right, looked like trees....so I thought the saying 'You can't see the trees for the woods/forest' might work....& then add....'so look up & fly'.....that just came to me as I was plodding away....so...on went some yellow...less at the bottom of the page, more up the top to reinforce that idea. Gelatos rubbed in with my fingers, again:)

 Next I coloured in my balloons, using Staedtler pens....the alphas....black gelato around the bottom clouds, with some rain drop stamps.......Here's some closies & my finished pages:

 

 

And the eyes in the title just 'came' once I'd popped on the alphas...I LOOOOVE how scrapping simply develops as you go.....well, with me it does, anyways!!!! Thanks for looking - & I hope you can see how Lawn Fawn goodies can be used in different ways, too:)

Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥
