This card shows the new set Lawn Fawn (Christmas Like No Otter) released in collaboration with Simon Says Stamp during the Stamptember event. I was going back and forth on whether I should get it or not, and I remember how fast last year's Lawn Fawn exclusive sold out, so I knew that if I decided I wanted it, I had to be quick. Sure enough, the stamps and dies sold out within a day of being released. This is the first card I'm making with the set, and it was inspired by the sketch from Fab Friday challenge #121 + Lawn Fawnatics #12 (Create a scene) and an old colour combo (ColourQ #61).
I kept the design fairly simple. Initially, I created the background with Tempting Turquoise cardstock, but it was a little plain, so I inked a piece of white cardstock with Broken China Distress Oxide ink and a blending tool, making sure to leave a bit of white peeking at the top and spritzing with water to create a bit of texture, which added to the card design greatly.
To add definition to the waves, I sponged the edges with Periwinkle Glitter Kiss, which catches the light very nicely when you move the card around. The sentiment reads "Thank You for Being Here" and was added to a Fancy Folded Banner die-cut. The Soft Suede background was embossed with the Stitched Windy Backdrop die.
