MFT 2016 Card Design Superstar Entry #3


This is my third and final entry for the MFT 2016 Card Design Superstar Challenge. I was going for a storybook look, bold lines with fun, bright colors. I started by stamping and black heat embossing some fun images from Forest Friends and Magical Unicorns onto watercolor paper. I then loosely, er, messily, colored the images with watercolor and die cut them. I added these to a watercolored panel and then added a stamped sentiment from Happy Hedgehogs. The panel was mounted to a kraft card base and bordered by some thin washi tape.



I hope you have a chance to check out all the amazing entries for this contest. There is some seriously amazing inspiration!
