This is my card for this week's MMTPT challenge. Since Tyler is only young I thought an action card would be fun, and I thought if I made a Wiper Card I could have a fishing scene that incorporated a hidden frog.
I followed the tutorial except that instead of the card strip for the wiper, I used acetate, scoring it well several times so that it folds down. The inset shows the closed card.
Image stamped on watercolour paper, masked and the background stamped and sponged in. Image coloured with distress inks. I think Fred's got an unfair advantage fishing in such a small puddle ;-).
For MIX32 I used the salted background technique to make Mr. Frog look a little mottled.

Oh my goodness I love, love, love this Sabrina!! You are just too clever for words...an action card will fit the bill perfectly for Tyler! Your scene is darling and the papers delicious but manly. The hop-up frog is brilliant. Tyler is going to love this amazing card...thanks so much for coming to his Teaparty. Hugz from New Jersey!

Ah Sabrina, this card is so beautiful. I love the camping scene and the way you coloured it. Love the wiper card feature and the inclusion of Tyler's name.
