I created my background by using a Visible Images Time Tunnel Stencil and a blending brush with some yellow inks. Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps You Should Always Crazy sentiment and also the Crackerbox Stamps Psycho Hyena Critter over the stenciled background. I then stamped the Psycho Hyena Critter again on a piece of white cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers.

Then fussy cut him out and adhered him over the image I stamped on the background. I did this so the little strands of hair on his head would show after I fussy cut him out. With a light gray Copic Marker, I added some shadows around his feet for some dimension.

Then stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Immature Forever sentiment above the giraffe on the card front using green and black ink.

I painted the Creative Embellishments Round Ship Window Frames by dipping a paper towel in some white gesso and rubbing it onto the frame to give it a whitewashed look. Then I sprayed them with a gold color spray. On the smaller window, I cut my photo to fit the back of it, and for the bigger one, I cut a piece of patterned paper from 49 and Market Island Paradise Collection (retired) to fit that one.

On the Creative Embellishments Word Anchor, I painted it with Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink Refill and used a brown Copic Marker to color the title and rope a darker brown. Around the porthole frames I also used some fishnet rub ons from 49 and Market.

For the Creative Embellishments Seagulls, I whitewashed them also with a paper towel and white gesso. Then for the beak and feet, I used an orange Copic Marker.

I added a flower cluster using flowers from 49 and Market. I adhered all of the chipboard pieces and flowers using my Xyron Mini Hot Glue Gun Pen.

A Funny Frog Card With Stamp Layering

 Hello! Today I am sharing a funny frog card with stamp layering to create a scene.

However, I will earn a small commission when you click on my link and purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

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.

This was a quick and easy card to make, with very little coloring needed. I first die cut out a circle in a brown piece of cardstock for my card front. Then I embossed it with a wood plank embossing folder. Laying the card front piece on my card base and lightly traced the cutout circle onto the white card base so I could see where the circle would be. Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Woody and the Crackerbox Stamps You're A Classic sentiment in the center of the circle and colored them with Copic Markers. On the embossed card front, I lightly sanded the raised embossed areas so they were a lighter brown and then adhered it to my card base with foam tape.
