MFT CLEAN & SIMPLE GENIUS (annual Card Design Superstar Contest) - CHRISTMAS CARD: MFT - Secret Santa

Hello crafty friends! The annual Card Design Superstar contest from MFT has been announced! There are 3 sorts of cards you can enter with. This card is for the "Clean & Simple Genius". I tried to keep it simple by using one image, one stencil, on sentiment... I hope you like it!!! 

You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at my Youtube channel. A supply list can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

I started by adhering my stencil to an A2 size panel of Neenah. I offset it a bit, so I had to make sure to mask everything off. Next, I ink blended my background using Black Soot, Shipped Sapphire and Stormy Sky Distress Inks. Next, I splattered some white gouache to create a night sky. 

Afterwards, I stamped out my adorable image onto Neenah using Gina K. Designs Amalgam Ink. I colored the image using my Copic Markers. I cut it out using the matching dies. 

Next, I stamped out the sentiment just above the background. And I added the little girl with some foam squares. After adding this panel on top of a card base, I added some Stickles to finish this card!
