Eid Mabrouk (Ewe are the best - MFT)

Hello friends,
Today is the first day of the eighth coloring challenge hosted by the amazing Kathy Racoosin.
It's also the first day of Eid al Adha so here's the card I made for this occasion:
Coucou les amis,
Aujourd'hui c'est le premier jour du "Daily Marker Coloring Challenge nr 8" organisé par l'incroyable Kathy Racoosin.
C'est également le premier jour de l'Aïd el Adha, voici donc la carte que j'ai réalisée pour cet évènement:

For the background, I did the "wrapped watercolor technique" using the Gansai Tambi watercolors and food wrap. Jennifer McGuire shows you how to do this technique here.
Once the panel was dry, I added decorative edges with a Blanket Stitch.
I next die cut the LLD Stitched Alphabet die-namics to make "EID MABROUK" from smooth white cardstock.
I stamped, colored (Promarkers) and die cut the images from the Ewe are the best stamp set.
I adhered the background panel, the letters and images to a top fold card base and finished off with a few sequins.
Pour le fond, j'ai fait la technique du "wrapped watercolor" avec les aquarelles Gansai Tambi et du film alimentaire. Jennifer McGuire vous montre comment réaliser cette technique ici.
Une fois le panneau sec, j'y ai ajouté des bords décoratifs à l'aide d'un die du set Homespun Stitch Lines.
J'ai ensuite coupé des lettres dans du cardstock blanc avec le die LLD Stitched Alphabet pour faire "EID MABROUK".
J'ai tamponné, colorisé (Promarkers) et coupé avec leurs dies respectifs les images du set Ewe are the best.
J'ai adhéré le panneau aquarelle, les lettres et les images à ma base de carte et ajouté quelques sequins pour terminer.

I die cut the words out of the watercolor panel and layered white and beige cardstock into the negative spaces.

I added a few sequins to finish it off.

"Sensational Sliders" - "Spectacular Shakers" (MFT Camp Create)

Hello there,
I'm back today to share a couple of interactive cards I created for the MFT Camp Create.

Card #1 "Sensational Sliders"

To create the background, I die cut a Grassy border from a white panel and inked with Pine Needles Distress ink. For the sky, I applied Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans Distress inks.
From another white panel, I die cut a hill using the Ocean Waves die-namics, inked with Pumice Stone Distress ink and stamped a greeting from the Forest Friends stamp set on it.
Next, I cut a slider track from the background panel. I used 4 pennies and small foam tape to go between the pennies and acetate. The piece of acetate allows to hide the track. I foam mounted the panel and secured to a top fold card base.
I stamped, colored (Prismacolor pencils) and die cut the images from the Once upon a time and Knight in shining armor stamp sets.
I attached the "hill" with foam tape and adhered the knight to the acetate. I also adhered the clouds, the princess and the bird to complete the card.

Card #2 "Spectacular Shakers"

I started by stamping the images from the Monster Love stamp set all over a Kraft panel using Distress Oxide inks. Their little faces were stamped with black ink.
I then cut out a window using the Rectangle peek-a-boo window die-namics and stamped the greeting with black ink. 
I assembled the shaker parts, filled it with sequins, pearls and glitter flakes. 
I secured the whole thing to a top fold card base and added a pair of googly eyes to one of the monsters.
