02 - Card Design Superstar Contest 2018 - 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 – 2018 where you can be one of the 15 lucky winners to win a $250 voucher from My Favorite Things!!! 

This marks my third year of playing in this super awesome contest and I know that I'll have so much fun!

This is my second card for the contest and it's for the Coloring Virtuoso category. 

I love to spend my time coloring and I love playing with my cuties from MFT. 

I have always admired Sandy Allnock and Stephanie Klauck and their beautiful backgrounds drawn and colored with alcohol markers and I've always wanted to try creating something like this. 

I don't own Copics, but I do have Spectrum Noir and Nuvo alcohol markers, so I decided to finally try one of the gorgeous backgrounds created by Stephanie Klauck on the MFT Youtube channel.

I have to admit that not having Copics made the coloring process a little harder, but I absolutely love my result. Now I know that with more practice, I might create some gorgeous backgrounds.

After I followed Stephanie's coloring tutorial and created my background, I decide to add some snow to my trees, so they would me more visible.

Then, instead of white gel pen, I added white splatters all over my panel to mimic the beautiful falling snow.

Next I trimmed the panel and mounted it onto a white card base bigger than it using craft foam.

On a white cardstock I stamped the adorable bears from the BB Polar Bear Pals and colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. Then I die cut them using Die-namics BB Polar Bear Pals dies and mounted them on the card.

I added a sentiment stamped on a white strip of cardstock, glued a few clear sequins and my card was done.

I hope you'll join me in this contest and you'll have fun!
