Greetings! You've got Kathi here ro share my third card for the August Children's Challenge! 

I used the Manga Goth Harlequin Stamp to create my card. I just love the edginess of these Manga Goth Girls! There are seven different 5" tall Manga Goth Girl stamps available PLUS there is a small set with six 3.5" tall versions! 

Here's my card!

I stamped the Manga Goth Harlequin Stamp twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. The sticker paper version was fussy-cut and set aside.

The Manga Goth Harlequin Stamp was colored with Copic markers then masked with the fussy-cut sticker paper version.

Low-tack tape was placed horizontally across the bottom of the image panel.

Grey ink was brushed across the masked image and the tape to create a grey background. 

Low-tack tape was used to secure a Rotating Rings stencil over the inked image panel. The same grey ink was brushed over the stencil, the masked image, and the horizontal tape to create a tone on tone effect.

The Rotating Rings stencil was removed, then a cabbage rose stencil was positioned so that a rose would be in a ring, and leaves and stem would trail off the right side of the image panel. Teal ink was brushed over the stencil to color the rose, leaves, and stem.

A rough stippling brush (I call it a pouncy tool) was used to randomly pounce teal ink across the masked image onto the top part of the image panel.

The strip of low-tack tape was removed from the bottom of the image panel and moved to cover the area above the horizon line. Grey ink was sponged over the tape to create a floor to ground the image.

The mask was removed from the Manga Goth Harlequin Girl.

The same teal ink used to stencil the rose was brushed onto a strip of white cardstock. A "Magical" word die was used to cut the inked cardstock, then the die-cut was adhered as shown. 

The image panel was trimmed to 4.75" x 6.75" and edged with the same teal ink, which was smooshed around the outside .5" of a white 5" x 7" card. The image panel was adhered to the the now-teal card to finish it all up.

I sure hope you take the time to create a project for our  August Children's Challenge for a chance to win Lost Coast Cash!
