Hello crafty friends! I am so honored and excited to be joining the amazing Butterfly Reflections Ink Design Team with so many talented ladies!  Today I am sharing my first card using the latest Lawn Fawn’s I Love You (Calyptus) stamp set and other amazing products from their latest release.  Once I saw this adorable Koala I couldn’t wait to use it especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner!

To start my card, I ink blended my panel on smooth Bristol paper using Distress Ink Oxides in Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Picked Raspberry.  Once dried, I then used Lawn Fawn Polka Heart Backdrop Portrait and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I removed the little hearts and placed them aside while I glued my ink blended panel to my card base.  I decided to place the hearts back in but reversed the colors.  I thought this technique gave it more contrast and extra detail.

For my hearts I used Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables Die with their Perfectly Plaid Spring paper.  I glued down the larger heart directly to my panel and the smaller heart I adhered using foam adhesive.  I stamped the Koala using Altenew Evening Gray Crisp Dye Ink and colored with various Copic Sketch markers.  I added some Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter to the smallest heart that the koala is holding.  I adhered my koala and the heart using foam adhesive.

To finish off my card, I used the coordinating sentiment which I stamped using Altenew Razzleberry Crisp Dye Ink onto a piece of Lawn Fawn Fake Tan Cardstock.  I then added some Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter underneath my sentiment.  I adhered my sentiment using foam adhesive to my card panel.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did creating it.  Thank you for joining me here today and hope you have a fabulous day!
