Superstar Card Contest, from MFT

Hi There,

When this blog announcement came around I couldn't ignore it.
Superstar card contest ... with great great fantastic prizes.
Making a card with mft stamps, dies, inks, it's just a party to use them!!!

Because of the time of the year I need a lot of  cards.
So of we go!

Here's the link from mft's post:

I made a card with a special opening, on the front.
I diecutted with the 'V' of the stitched basic edge die.
Then took my stencil: Big Balloons and added with distress inks the balloons.  After that step I wanted to ad some glossy accent on them, so I corved them with my versamark pen and clear embossed them, look how shinny they are!!!  Gorgeous isn't;
Then I stamped the elephant who's waving from the adorable stamps set (and yes they are super adorable!!).
colored the elephant with hickory smoke (who was wetted with some perfect pearls, look how glittery he is) and some spun sugar.
After that I wanted to add some small details in light gray because of the grey in my lovely elephant, so I took the distressed stamp set to ad some detail.
Stamped my sentiment of the adorable elephants stamp set and added a aditional border on the top flap.
Putted some bleu of the balloons on a strip of card stock and so a created with the basic 'V' edge die a extra accent that fit totally the concept because of the matching colors.

Love to hear it if you liked it.
Hugs
