Lawn Fawn Slimline Christmas Scene Card - Happy Holiday Critters

 Hey friends!  Today I'm sharing details of this super cute mouse filled slimline card for the which I created for Lawnfawnatics Challenge #89 'Happy Holiday Critters'.


I stamped and coloured lots of images from various sets of Lawn Fawn stamps (see below for a full list of supplies).  I coloured all the mice the same colours and many of the images are coloured with same pinks and reds (all listed in the graphic) to keep the colouring quick and keep the card looking cohesive throughout.  

For the background I used Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, focusing the intensity of the colour at the top of the card stock.  To deepen the shade further I brought in Distress Ink in Festive Berries.  I added some white dots with a gel pen to create more interest and give the look of wallpaper to the scene.

The idea of the card was to create a production line so I know my oven would go in the middle of the card.  I spent some time arranging the left side of the card to feature all the baking and mixing elements and on the right of the oven, I pulled together lots of images to create a feast for Santa!

I kept the sentiment simple, not least because I didn't have a great deal of room, but also wanted to keep the focus on the images.  The sentiment uses two stamps from 'A Creature Was Stirring' stamp set which were white heat embossed with my favourite white embossing powder (Ranger Fine Detail) on to black card stock and cut into thin strips.

My card panel measures 8 3/8" by 3 3/8" and was secured down to a white card base measuring 8 1/2" by 3 1/2".  

To embellish the card I added some sparkle with my Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen and some shine with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
