Channeling My Inner Lisa Frank! {Brutus Monroe}

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share this card I made using the new Brutus Monroe Subscription Box "Unique Unicorn"!  Everything about this card brings me back to my school days when Lisa Frank stickers were the "in" thing!

I began by ink blending the following Distress Oxide inks: Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, and Seedless Preserves. 

Next, I blended the same inks over themselves through the Brutus Monroe Mixed Media: rainbow stencil that I had in my stash.

Then, I watered down a little gold acrylic paint and flicked it on the ink blended panel.

Next, I stamped out and die cut a bunch of images from the beautiful stamp set and matching dies from the inspiration box. I chose to use a unicorn, butterfly and the rainbow images. I colored them using Copic markers. 

The Copic Markers that I used are:

Unicorn: T0, T3, T7, R20, R30, W00, E40, Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23

Unicorn Mane, Tail, and Rainbow: RV21, RV25, YR65, YR68, Y32, Y35, YG03, YG05, BG01, BG45, V01, V05

Then, I began assembling my card. I adhered the rainbow panel with foam tape to a card base using teal cardstock for the Inspiration Box. I added a frame from my stash, followed by the rainbow and butterfly. I added foam tape to the unicorn and adhered it to the card. I added a conversation clipping from the inspiration box and finished it off with some sequins. 

I love how colorful this card is. Do you ever make cards that remind you of your childhood? 

Thank you for stopping by!

Younger Than Tomorrow

I LOVE digital stamps. 

There are so many reasons that I love them but the reason I will share today is because I could flip the image in my photo editing software which allowed me to make this spinner card. Most of the time, the image you are using is not symmetrical. So if you used a rubber stamp and inked two images as is, they would not match up on the back to make the spinner of this card. BUT... with digital stamps, you can flip one of the images before you print them so they will match up allowing you to make a spinner. I use the free version of Adobe Spark Post {Starter Plan} for my photo editing software. I do not know what the paid versions do, but the scene building or image flipping can be done in the free version.

The sentiment in this card makes me laugh. It couldn't be more true! "You're older today than yesterday but younger than tomorrow." I made this Spinner Card using the stamp sets from Polka Dot Orchard called Younger Than Tomorrow and Sunshine of Life. I love this unicorn cupcake! You could color it so many different ways. It was raining here today so I needed a little rainbow. 

The Copics that I used to make this card are:

Chocolate for Cupcake: E13, E15, E18, E29

Rainbow, Rainbow Icing and Spots on wrapper: R14, YR15, Y08, YG17, B05, BV04

Unicorn Horn: Y28 and gold Wink of Stella {for glittery look}

Unicorn ears: RV00, C00, C0

Sun: YR15, Y08

Flowers: B05, BV04, Y08
