Peek a boo card for the My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar Contest

One last card that I am entering into the My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar contest!   I used my new Birdie Brown Harvest Mouse set and the Stitched Interactive Window Trio to create a peek a boo card.   I started with some MFT Tangy Orange card stock and stamped with the Gingham Background stamp with Tangy Orange Ink.    I used the Blueprints 13 Stitched Frame to cut the panel with a nice stitched edge.   I then die cut the Stitched Interactive trio out and trimmed out two of the panels flaps and left one for a surprise the to card recipient.  

I penciled the open areas to stamp the image from the Harvest Mouse set and colored the images in with Copic Markers and then added some Wink of Stella clear and White Gel Pen as accent to the pictures.   The sentiment is from Lisa Johnson Designs Cheerful Blessings from My Favorite Things and stamped with Versamark and embossed with Gold embossing powder.   I added two Pierced Fishtail flags to the stop and stamped one with the Swiss Dot Background stamp.

Ink Smooshing with Stencils - My Favorite Things Card Design Contest

I used my stencil and Distress Inks and did a smoothing technique on some watercolor card stock to create a background for a fall themed card.       Using a stencil on the backside, smooth some Distress inks in various spots.   For my card, I used Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade and Gathered Twigs.  Then spritz it really good with some water and flip the stencil over and smooth it on to the watercolor paper.    I use some copy paper to place on top and run my hands over the stencil and watercolor paper to press the ink into the paper.   You need to really spritz it with some water and get the colors moving before you flip it on to the water color paper.    I then water colored my Pure Innocence stamp with distress inks on water color paper.
