Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday! Today we are starting our Week 1 challenge – “Stamp Act.” Just include any stamped (or digital) image on your card or project, easy as can be!
The background of my card was made with a mask I made by cutting a piece of paper with a curved edge, then lining them up to blend the inks one color at a time. I saw this technique on a card made with flowers as the focal point, but thought it would be go well with the Newton’s Nook image. I have big plans to try the same technique with one color to create an ombre effect, we’ll see how long it takes to actually get to it!
This month we have Ester Asbury joining us as our guest designer, you can check out her amazing work at her blog, Shoregirl’s Creations. We hope you’ll visit her blog as well as the rest of the chicks:

Fabulous card – your background technique is perfect! Love your colour scheme too! Thanks for joining in our Bingo challenge at Passion for Markers, good luck! Juliex
Such a fun card Melanie. The image is adorable and your colouring is perfect (I assume you did colour with markers, although it doesn’t say so in our post). Your background is fantastic and the colours are fab. Thanks for sharing with us at Passion for Markers this week. Hugs, Denise x
I’m in awe again! You fooled me with the background. I thought it was a die cut! Great effect! And your kitty lapping up some ice cream is just so adorable.
Awe…super cute! I was the same as Diane – totally fooled by that background! Awesome job xoxox
