Spread a Little Kindness Card

 It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. It's an "Anything Goes" week for the TFS team. It's been very cold here in New Jersey with snow on the ground. The birds are all puffed up and hungry, which reminded me of the Bot-ology Spread a Little Kindness Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Andy Skinner for Creative Expressions, so I decided to make this card.

7. Use Copic markers to color the image panel. 
8. Stamp the focal image again onto repositionable sticker paper, fussy-cut, and place the sticker paper version over its counterpart on the image panel. Be sure that the lower part of the image panel with the base of the park bench, the robot's feet, and the sidewalk are covered by either the sticker paper or Post-It Notes.
9. Brush Stormy Sky Distress ink over the masked images. 
10. Mist the image panel with a Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to mottle the ink and blend the ink without pilling the paper.
11. Use a White Posca Paint Pen to add white spatter to the background.
12. Remove the masks from the image panel. 
13. Use a White Posca Paint Pen to add snowflakes and snowpiles over and around the images. 
14. Use an A2 Polaroid Frame die to cut blue patterned cardstock. 
15. Adhere the image panel behind the window of the frame die-cut.
16. Flip the patterned cardstock over to reveal the solid side. 
17. Pat the cardstock with a non-static tool.
