Challenge #142 at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie gave me the opportunity to use a fun stamp set that I have had for awhile but hadn't inked up yet .. The inspiration photo is whimsical and sweet. But I somehow managed to make a card that is a bit snarky AND involves coffee !!
I used the Rabbit Hole Designs Caffeinated - Unicorn stamp set for my card. They have a whole line of animal/coffee stamps and matching dies. Another favorite of mine is the Caffeinated - Reindeer , which I'm sure you will be seeing in a future blog post !!
Caffeine Makes Me Sparkle
- I stamped the unicorn on Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink .
- The sentiment was stamped on a journal card with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and then trimmed to fit on the side of the stamped unicorn.
- I used Spectrum Noir Aqua Blend Watercolor Pencils and TUL Metallic Gel Pens to color the image.
- On a tan card base, I adhered 2 pieces of coordinating coffee-themed papers from a fabulous Craft Smart paper pad Brewtiful Day - found at Michaels .
- I adhered the unicorn on top of the patterned papers.
- The sentiment was popped up on the side of the unicorn image with foam tabs.
- It's hard to see but I added sparkle with a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush - clear .
- I CASEed this card from one made by Cristena of Copictopia on IG -- you can check out her card HERE on her IG page. Thanks, Cristena - I have been thinking about making this card ever since I saw yours !!
This challenge runs through May 27 .. I'd love for you to link up a project of your own in the next 2 weeks. You can look at the projects by some other Design Team members HERE . I hope that you all are doing well with this pandemic we are dealing with . I'm trying to stay busy and limit my online shopping !! Please take care and stay safe..
Until next time...
Stay Creative..
