For my card I stamped one of the raccoons from C.C. Designs set with the same name (Raccoons) and had it cut out by the Scan N Cut, then colored it with Graphit Brush markers.
I masked off an area on the card base and applied Distress inks ( Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio with whatever was left on the blending brushes as I feel the Mermaid lagoon is a little darker than normal, but still pretty. I wanted to try to bleach the background with a damp towel and a stencil from scrapberry. it did work a bit, but it's very faint, didn't
want to risk a cloth that was wetter as my DCP paper doesn't really like water all that much.
Stamped the sentiment from the same set and then mounted the raccoon with with foamtape and adhered him to the card.
I look forward to your Birthday cards, you can enter them here.
