When I saw this technique, I just knew that I wanted to give it a try. That I did, the first one was OK, but not good enough, so here is my second try. I like it much better.
Take a look at this challenge at
Power Poppy. Here is how you do a Peek a Boo technique.
You create cut-outs on your card to share a snippet or give a “peek” of fun underneath!
This is the sketch, but we are encouraged to use different shapes and I really went outside the box with my shapes. I used a star shape and a banner from Die-namics to make my cutouts. I needed a bigger cut out for the image that I wanted to use. The stamp is Power Poppy Short Stacks.
Here is what I got.
This was photographed in the bright Florida sunlight. I used a few sea shells that we got on Tiger Tail Beach. Couldn't resist just a few. We got tons.
The peeking image is colored with Copic markers and clear Wink of Stella. I sponged a bit around the sentiment, and added some sequins. I like using white card stock and this is Gina K Design paper, but I think I will do one in color next.
I am also entering this card in the Scrappy Land Challenge. #37 Anything Goes Here
Thanks for stopping by, I love your comments and the time that you take to make them.
This is so stinkin' cute!!! I love the colors you used, and so clever to use the stars for your cutout and also the banner for the greeting. You are one creative woman!! I love this design, I can't wait to try it. You really nailed the challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! I love the peek a boo card. I am going to have to see if I can make one soon too! This is so cool and you really got the hang of it my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I would never thought to use a star cut out for a peek a boo card. Love that you did the sentiment the same way. Clever girl. Wonderful coloring and I adore your white space.
