Relax & Unwind Lala Land Crafts New Release
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey all! Happy Monday! It is so much fun getting to show you new releases from Lala Land Crafts every Monday. This week I get to show you Relax & Unwind.
Relax & Unwind is such a cute set with the little spa ducks and hippos. There is even one little duck with wee little slippers on its feet that I just love. I did decide to use the duck in the tub because I wanted to use both of the animals that were holding drinks. Relaxing and unwinding sound really good about now, it is Monday after all.
So I have some confessions to make with this card. The die cuts I used called Spa Set from Lala Land Crafts ... I didn't realize exactly what they were until the other team members had started to use them. This will really make you laugh! Meadow and I were trying to figure out what the nail polish brush was, not knowing the jar was nail polish, and we thought it was a foot scrubber and a jar of sea salt scrub haha!!! Which it totally could be ... right?!? haha! Can you tell who doesn't do a lot of nail polish? haha!
For this nail polish bottle, I really wanted it to have more of a round look to it and look like it was full of nail polish. I used some glossy accents on it and on the tip of the polish applicator so it looked like it had been dipped in the polish. I didn't color any paper or anything like that. It is just cardstock with the glossy accents on it. I thought it came out rather cute.
The lotion bottle we actually didn't figure anything out for that. But again, when I saw the other team members using it ... it was like Gru saying "Light Bulb!" haha! I decided to make the lotion bottle a nice yellow with some patterned paper I had, along with a sponged bottle lid in Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink.
I really wanted to keep the colors nice and mellow and relaxing just like a spa would have. So I used a lot of the lighter Copic colors for the towels and for my choices in cardstock and patterned papers. I used a lot of blush blossom that is long long long since retired, I thought it matched well with the towel colors I picked out. You can see a bit of it in the circle behind Miss Hippo and it is the same cardstock I used for the nail polish bottle.
I also put a little bit of the glossy accents on both Miss Hippo and Miss Duck's drinks to make them stand out a little bit more.
I have to say it is not easy, NOT getting that stuff absolutely everywhere! I think I wear more than actually gets on the card... which that would be bad if it were the other way around. I did try to make Miss Duck have an orange slice on her drink but she kept moving and sloshing her drink around so it looks more like a blood orange haha!
The last bit that I have to show you is I used the Harlequin stencil from the Hearts & Harlequins Stencil set to dry emboss the background of the main card base as well as a 5.25 x 4 piece of white cardstock. I wanted to really give it more texture and a fun look about it, with both pieces embossed.
The last thing I added to the card was a few little dew drops because I really was going for a "bubble" type of look with all of the circles. I thought the dew drops would look pretty on the card and give it the last final touch I was looking for.
The Copic markers I used were:
Hippo: W0, 2, 4, 5
Towel: R00, 01, 02
Drink: R02
Straw: YR31, R02
Fruit: YR31, Y02
Duck:
Feathers: Y000, 00, 02, 04
Bill & Feet: YR61, 65, 68
Towel: R00, 01, 02
Drink: YR61, R17
Fruit: YR61, 63
Straw: YR31, Y02
Bath: T0, 2, 4
