Musical Birthday with Lawn Fawn

Hi everyone! I hope that your week is going well!

I saw the challenge for the Lawn Fawnatics blog and the sketch from Jenn looked so fun that I decided to join in on the fun!

A friend has a birthday soon, and she likes music, so I thought she'd enjoy a bunch of cute critters playing the Happy Birthday song! I stamped and colored images from the Critters Concert stamp set and cut them with the coordinating dies. I colored them with Copic markers and added some extra detail with a white gel pen. I die cut a bunch of music notes from the Little Music Notes die from black cardstock. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and die cut from the Simple Wavy Banners die.

For the background, I attached a white cardstock panel cut from the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die and attached it to a white card base. I had leftover squares that were cut from the Foursquare Backdrop die, so I took those and ink blended them in different colors with distress oxide inks. I arranged the squares onto the cardstock panel and attached them with double sided tape. Then, I arranged the critters, sentiment, and music notes on the card. I finished by stamping some small music notes in the background. Here's a closer look:

Hakuna Matata with Lawn Fawn

 Hi friends! I hope that you all had a great weekend. The current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge is to find inspiration from a book, movie, or song and it looked so like such a fun challenge that I decided to play along! 

One of my favorite movies growing up was the Lion King. I can still remember all of the song lyrics, haha! Isn't it crazy how songs like that can just stay in your head?! So, I created a card inspired by the Lion King song "Hakuna Matata."

I used the animals from the Wild For You and Hay There stamp sets. I tried to color the animals to look like the Lion King characters. Hopefully they look similar!

To create the card, I started by creating a circle mask and ink blending the background with distress oxide inks. Then, I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die to cut out the inked panel. I added a branch from the Birch Trees die cut from Woodgrain cardstock. I used Violet's ABCs to create a custom sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I attached the critters with foam tape and then added a few music notes from the Little Music Notes die and Critter Concert stamp set.

I decided to add a speech bubble above the critters so I used the A Birdie Told Me stamp set and added a custom sentiment. The sentiment was pieced together from a bunch of other sets including RAWR, Don't Worry, Be Hoppy, and RAWRSOME. It took some time to put the sentiment together, but it turned out great! Here's a picture of the inspiration that I used for my card:
