02 - Card Design Superstar Contest 2017 - MFT Stamps

Hi crafty friends! Welcome back to my blog! Hope you're having a wonderful and creative day.

This card is for the amazing Card Design Superstar Contest – 2017 where you can be one of the 15 lucky winners to win a $250 voucher from My Favorite Things!!! There are 3 categories and today I show you my card for the Innovation Master category.

Since the first Camp Create 2017 I had an idea in mind. I wanted to make a card using all the techniques learnt that week at camp ;) A hard thing to do, so I kept postpone it util I saw the category for this year's Superstar Contest. That was the moment I knew what I want to create :) Here is a photo with the 5 techniques from the Camp create - 2017/part 1

First two techniques are watercolor and resist. 

After I prepared a panel from watercolor cardstock, I white heat embossed some of the solid stamps and a sentiment from the Mermazing Birdie Brown set. 

Next, I added color to the whole panel using Distress Inks, a brush and water. I started with the lightest color and finished with the darkest. After everything has dried I added a few splatters of clean water and I created some rays with a brush and clean water.

The next two techniques are shaker and slider. For these techniques I used the Die-namics Circle STAX Set 1 and I die cut the panel 3 times with 3 different size dies. Then, I glued the inside parts for the slider and the shaker onto a white card base. 

Next, I created the shaker part and filled it with different sequins.

After I finished the shaker I moved on to the slider. I knew that I will use 3 elements for it so I prepared 3 little parts that slid through the sliding channel.

After I finished the slider I stamped and colored a few stamps from the same stamp set. For coloring I used mostly colored pencils. 

After coloring I fussy cut them leaving a small white border and then I mounted the images on the card. 

The 3 little images were adhered to the slider and the beautiful mermaid near the shaker. Love how they look!!!

The last technique from the Camp Create is glitter so it fit perfectly with the ocean/ fantasy theme of the card. I added some Stickles Glitter Glue on every image because I love the sparkle and the effect from it.

Well, that's it from me today! A not to easy to make card but a beautiful result! Loved the process and I hope you'll give it a try!
