A Funny Frog Card With Stamp Layering ~ Nadine Carlier

To create my card, I used several stamps from Crackerbox Stamps and layered them up using masking paper. First, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Frog with Fly on a white cardstock card front. I then stamped it again on some masking paper and fussy cut it out, and layered the masking paper over the frog. Next, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Lily Pad over the masked frog and then stamped the lily again on some masking paper, fussy cut it out, and masked off the lily too. With the frog and lily still masked, I then stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Cattails on either side of the lily. Then masked the Cattails off. Then, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Frog's Fly with the Crackerbox Stamps OMG! and the Crackerbox Stamps Frogs Are Lucky sentiment. I also masked off the Frog's Fly. So all the stamp images were masked off except for the words. When layering stamps, you just need to remember that the image you want to be in the front is the image you stamp first and then mask off before stamping the next one.

Next, I used a strip of masking tape about at the same level as the frog's head, and below it, I ink blended some blue ink for water using blending brushes.

I then removed the masking strip but still left all the stamp images masked. I used The Crafter's Workshop Cloud Stencil and some blue and grey inks to create a sky by blending ink with blending brushes. Then I lightly misted the ink blending with water, and placed a paper towel over it to soak up the water. This gave it a watercolor look. Once dry, I removed all the masking paper off all the images and colored them in with Copic Markers.
