Card in a Box

 I joined in a Mingle in the Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group recently for Different kinds of folds cards. One of our Sponsors at Technique Junkies is About Art Accents- and I used a newly released stamp plate for Spring and made a Card in a Box.

  Here are the sides of this card:

And side 2:

And here is the back:

I used a number of Technique Junkies techniques on this card, including Embossed Wax Paper Resist, Salt and Pepper and Simple Sumi (dragonflies).  I stamped the images and colored some using Copics, others (tulips) were watercolored.

What is really neat with these cards, is that they fold down flat to put in an envelope to mail.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Yeow!

Hey, Junkies!  Ann Clack here!  Today is the birthday party for my grandson who is turning 4.  His favorite TV program is Octonauts, a darling cartoon about 8 animal friends who live in the Octopod in the ocean.  They go on adventures and discover all kinds of different sea creatures.  They end up helping them along the way.  The only problem is that all Octonaut things are sold in the UK or Australia.  So......I found this darling image from a free coloring sheet from one of the UK sites.  Since they live in the ocean, I used a piece of Simple Sumi (a Technique Junkie technique) for the background since it looked like water.  It is hard to tell but I layered the head and shoes and double layered the hat, eyepatch and nose area.  I hope my grandson loves his Kwazii (the cat) card!  Kwazii's favorite saying is Yeow!
