Step 1: Working on the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, take a sheet of Heavyweight Watercolor Paper and tape down the middle vertically and horizontally, and then place the tape halfway off the paper on all four sides.
Step 2: Place the In A Line stencil over the page and using a Mini Ink Blending with White Paint and put the paint through the stencil randomly and in small amounts across the page. Let dry.
Step 3: Randomly drip Watery, Sunshine, and Minty Gloss on the page leaving some white space.
Step 4: Use a Craft Scraper to drag the Gloss down the page, doing one column at a time. Let dry. If your colors get too mixed, once dry, add more color to the places that need it.
Step 5: Using the In a Line stencil, randomly apply Cocoa in one spot for each section.
Step 6: Using the Stencil from the Little Birdies Stamp Set, apply Elephant paint through the stencil in each section. Let dry.
Step 7: Remove the tape from the page.
Step 8: Cut into four equal pieces leaving white space all around.
Step 9: Stamp Owl, Hedgehog, Fox, Squirrel from the Woodland stamp set, and sentiments from the Regal Bears Stamp set onto a piece of Stark White Carstock using Jet Black Archival ink. Using a Dina Wakley Media Round Brush, paint the animals with Cocoa, Elephant, Carnation, Cheddar, Sedona, and Taffy Paint. Use the Craft Sheet as a palette and have fun mixing colors! Let dry. Cut out animals, and sentiments into a rectangle.
Step 10: Outline the painted rectangle with a Black Fineliner. Paint the edges of the sentiments and panels using the Ink Blending Tool and Cocoa Paint. Let dry. Then glue down all the pieces as shown with Dina Wakley Media Glue.
Step 11: Glue each panel onto a A2 cardbase with Media Glue.
Another idea: In place of the animals, use the scribbly birdies as your focal point.
