"Critters Ever After": Lawn Fawn Inspiration week

Hey there, everyone!  Welcome to the March Lawn Fawn inspiration week!!  We have a fun week in store for you, showcasing projects using some of the newly released stamps and the "Bright Side" paper line.  You should see all of the new items in your favorite store that carries Lawn Fawn, and of course, you can purchase what you like from the Lawn Fawn website as well!

Tonight we are sharing projects using "Critters Ever After", the latest in the Critters series by Lawn Fawn.  The critters are such a popular stamp collection, and it seemed fitting to carry a stamp set of magical critters, don't you think?  This stamp set, particularly the unicorn, makes me think back on my days in elementary school when I was obsessed with Lisa Frank.  I had stickers upon stickers upon stickers, not to mention school folders & notebooks, stationary...who knows what else!  My favorite folder ever had a purple and pink unicorn on it, which you will see I used on my card as well!  Such great memories of being a kid!

Before I share my card, I wanted to also share that Bazzill Basics has done a Lawn Fawn color match for the Bright Side paper and Bazzill Basics cardstock.  This is such a great tool, and really makes sure that you get perfectly matched cardstock.  We have the matching Bazzill cardstock, and let me tell you....it really does match perfectly.  Bazzill definitely knows what they are doing!  And as Lawn Fawn adds new collections to their arsenal, it will get updated on this color match page!  So, with all that said...here is the card that I created for tonight!
