This is a card I made for the smART Cookie Design Team over at smARTworks. I used two stamp sets for this one: Chickadee Wishes and Bough and Cone. Don't you just love that little chickadee? My backyard is filled with them in all year round, and I find them completely irresistable.To make the center panel, I stamped the chickadee image and then painted over it with Grumbacher Miskit Frisket (a liquid latex masking material). I did a simple blue watercolor wash over the whole piece, and once it was dry, I stamped the pine boughs. After that, I removed the mask and colored the chickadee with watercolor pencils. The light blue mat has a pierced border, and I embossed the dark green mat with my Cuttlebug.
I hope you like this first offering from Dee's Studio. Stay tuned because there's plenty more to come!
Miskit Frisket! How fun is that to say? I want some...where do you get it, and does it work really well? I get tired of cutting out little details from post-it note masks. Lovin' the chickadee with the branches behind! Yeah you!

Love this card Donna! I am still puzzled on how that masking works though! Maybe your next post should be a DETAILED process for those of us who are a little slow! {wink} Everything looks great! You'll love your new blog!
