Hi friends!
It's Monday,
even though I rarely know what day of the week it is anymore :)
The sun is out, school is out, who's counting?!
I do so love the lazy days of summer
with an empty schedule and lots of time to just be.
I took advantage a few weeks ago of the one-day-only flash sale
at Taylored Expressions for this AH-DOR-A-BLE
mythical grumplings stamp and die combo set.
Both were offered together for a wonderful sale price - yes, please!
It's so hilarious!
(I actually needed just the Yeti stamp
so the other stamps are like a bonus!)
For today's card, I'm using the funny unicorn
and adding to a background of multi-colored rubber band stamps.
This is the technique lover's for today at Splitcoaststampers
and I love Oldies But Goodies!
It's fun to bring back techniques we tried and are now trying again!
The idea to add a stitched cloud came from one of my earlier cards
back in May.
I
I enjoyed making it for spring card camp ~
and, as they say, if it works!
I paired my unicorn, colored with copics, with ranger distress inks
as I happened to have the colors needed:
Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon.
I used an old acrylic block and borrowed some tinier rubber bands from
my granddaughter, Alice
The center is cut with an MFT Rounded stitched die
and I left the rest of the card without a back panel because it's already busy!
And that's my mess my card for today!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
