Hello friends!
Today I'm sharing a new card showcasing the Lawn Fawn String of Lights Dies. I die cut the light bulb components from white cardstock and custom inked them with Lawn Fawn Dye Inks. I created the "halos" for the lights on the background with foam daubers. A simple stamped and embossed greeting perfectly accents the darling light set!
I die cut the smallest of the three sizes of light bulbs from the Lawn Fawn String of Lights Dies from smooth white cardstock and silver foil cardstock (the end piece). The string was die cut from Lawn Fawn Black Cardstock. I inked up the top light bulb die cuts with Plastic Flamingo, Lobster, Carrot, Sunflower, Freshly Cut Grass, and Fish Tank dye inks.
I adhered the custom inked layer to the white layer and then added the silver foil die cut end to each light bulb. I added a layer of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to each bulb and set them aside.
I carefully arranged the string die cut on a white cardstock background and inked up the areas around where each light bulb would go with the coordinating ink colors.
I die cut a vellum layer using the A2 sized Dotted Rectangle Die and stamped greetings and the "twinkling" shapes from the Winter Big Scripty Words and Merry Messages stamp sets using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
I adhered the string and lights bulbs to the vellum layer and then adhered the vellum layer to the inked background. I adhered the the decorated panel to a side fold card base to finish the design.
