I did a thing! Competition was pretty stiff and I'm so excited my card was featured on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 72! (Bottom right corner)
This is my favorite Lawn Fawnatics challenge "Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song! You could also include TV, plays and musicals..."
I made two cards for this challenge. My first card was inspired by Stranger Things. There is a scene when the character Eleven and her friends are playing chicken with a van and she flips it over their heads with her telekinesis. I thought it was so cool! I thought of this for a card last time Lawn Fawnatics did this challenge, but didn't get it done. This time around, I had a new design idea in my head and brought it to life!
I made a 4" x 8" card so I can could create forced perspective. The challenge was getting the stitched hillside boarders lined up perfectly since they are only 5.5" long. I modified the Bicycle Built for You characters and bikes by masking and drawing in details to make them look like the cast from Stranger Things. You can't really tell, but two of the bikes have banana seats! I added the sentiment from their Yeti or Not set to finish off the card.
My second card was inspired by my favorite Harry Potter book "Goblet of Fire". Again I made a long 4" x 8" card so I could go for forced perspective again. I tried to include items from each task. We have the dragon, golden egg, and Firebolt. I have a merman I modified to have ropey hair. Finally, the goblet (I didn't want to create a hedge maze). I included a small portion of the forbidden forest with a whomping willow and the castle at the top.
I used the tree from the Lawn Fawn set Critters on the Savanna and masked off the leaves. Instead I drew in knobs at the end of the branches and vines standing straight up. My husband tried to tell me I was wrong and they should be hanging. Don't worry, I proved I was right with a quick google image search! I don't know why he still questions me...
The whole idea a I had with this was to show Harry saying thanks to Hermione for helping him out and sticking by him. Spoiler Alert! Ron was a little b***h for the first half of the tournament. :-)
I ended up altering their uniforms since I don't have a ton of black markers and you don't have been able to tell what was what. I tried to make it look like they were sitting with their robes on. I'm not super happy with the ground. I ended up gluing the paper down before I had a chance to do some ink blending on it. Oh, well!
I used so many different stamp sets on these cards and if you want to see the list here it is.
Lawn Fawn: Stitched
Hillside Borders, Mermaid For You, Bicycle Built for You, Village Shops, Happy
Village, Yeti or Not, Critters on the Savanna, Jessie's ABCs, Toadally Awesome, Life is Good, You Are Sublime, and Sandy Beach Accents
(Blogger was yelling at me I had too many characters in the "labels" so I took them out.)
This challenge was so much fun to participate in! I still have another idea for a Harry Potter card and may just have to finish it on my own...
