Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #2

Hello and welcome to another Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge!!!  I'm pretty excited to share this card, so I'll get right to it.  I chose the bottom row: masking, stars, and critters.  
After stamping this cute little fox from ME's Three Amigos, I masked him and let the fun begin.  Honestly, I made mistake after mistake creating this background, but actually I think each mistake made it better in the end.  If you look closely there are stamped stars, but a few of the water spots are also star shaped.  (I used a wet paper towel to dab water onto my inked background through a star stencil in a few spots...like on the second water spot above the fox's head.)  
The last thing I did was stamp the sentiment from PTI's Bubble Talk...and I held my breath the whole time...I was so nervous I was going to ruin the whole thing!  It was so fun to see all of your cards for the first challenge.  I can't wait to see what you make for Challenge #2! :) Now head on over to the Challenge Revealed Post at the Stamping Smiles Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge blog.  You'll receive oodles of inspiration from the other designers' fabulous creations as well as get all the details on how to play along...and I so hope that you do!  Happy crafty to all and to my American friends, I hope that you enjoy the long weekend!

  7. This is totally FABULOUS!! Your masking is spot on. I love that fun background with the stars and water droplets. I like the idea of using water through a stencil. I will have to try that sometime. LOVE your take on the challenge Lindsey!!
