Hello, I thought I would give the Superstar Challenge – category CAS Genius a go over at MFT. The competition is always so amazing that I usually feel intimidated, but I thought what the heck, why not give it another try! I first took a white sheet of cardstock and a piece of acetate, and some black ink and made some black stripes on my cardstock. I had intended on taking a Copic Marker and coloring in the white stripes with BG13 however, I did one spot at the top of the stencil and didn’t like it so I left it alone. I did end up using a piece of it in the design though. Trying to do something different, so I thought why not black and white striped clouds? Why not! I took my black and white paper and my MFT Stitched Cloud die cuts and made my 3 layers of clouds. I then colored my cute little Dragon using both Copic markers and Prisma Colored Pencils too. I doubled him up for stability and perched him on a Stitched tag from MFT. The sentiment is from the same stamp set-Magical Dragons. Some black twine and enamel dots and I was finished.
If you haven’t joined in over at MFT you still have time! Be Brave like me! The prizes are incredible!
Here are a couple of pictures that I took so you can see the process.
I take two pieces of acetate and taped them down using the guide from my Tim Holtz glass media mat to make my stripes. I love that device! Not sure how I lived without it!
You can see the piece I had leftover that I decided to use on my tag.
Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a wonderful day, Nanc’

First, I love how you made the stripes and then showed how you did it. Great idea. The colors of the card are so striking and I have always loved that dragon. His facial expression is just right for this sentiment. Good luck with the contest.
