Ahoy, Matey...It's Your Birthday

Hey friends! Britney here with a Lawn Fawn Center Picture Window card! I really enjoyed making this little card. I had my nephew in mind while making this. He’s almost 2 and has the cutest way of saying “’Ello Mate!"

I like to start with building my backgrounds when making cards. I inked up my card panel with Broken China Distress Oxide ink and the MFT Mini Clouds stencil. I cut a panel using the Lawn Fawn Sunrise Backdrop die out of heavy weight white cardstock. I did this because I knew I wanted to color part of the sun as sand for my critters and things. I colored the sunrise with my Copics. 

For my water, I used the waves from the Lawn Fawn Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On. I colored this with Copics, as well. After it was dry, I used some clear ink and embossed my sentiment in white before attaching it to my card base.

For the inside of my card, I inked up my sky the same way I did the front of the card. I also inked clouds on the pop-up portion of my card. I waited until I was done building up my background before adhering this piece to my card. I did my waves the same way I did on the front of my card.  I used the hills from the Lawn Fawn Shadow Box Card die to make my sand. I cut those out of white cardstock and colored them with my Copics.

Once my background was done, I started on the images I wanted to use. I used images from Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey and Life is Good stamp sets. I inked up my images using Gina K Black Amalgam Ink and colored them with my Copics. I added highlights with my white gel pen and accents to the eyes and things with a black glaze pen. 

I added a little Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to the diamond just for a little sparkle. Lastly, I cut a banner from one of the dies included in the Lawn Fawn Center Picture Window set and stamped a sentiment from Ahoy, Matey.

I hope you enjoyed this fun Center Picture Window card as much as I enjoyed making it. I hope you have a wonderful day and hope you join me again for another blog post. G'day Mate!
