Unity Challenge: Week 12

It’s time for another Unity Challenge. This week’s challenge comes from Tanis. She challenged us to create a card for a child using primary colors (red, yellow, and blue).

I used the Cuter Than Most set for my card. This set is definitely not just for Halloween! It’s great for cards for little boys. I found the perfect paper to fit both the alien/creature image and the challenge colors. It’s space themed in blue, red, and yellow (with just a bit of green thrown in too—but still close enough). I colored the creature with Copic markers to match the paper, then added a wiggly eye.

I broke out my new Nestabilities Labels 1 die for the panel on the cardfront. The sentiment is stamped in red pigment ink in the upper right corner, leaving room for the creature in the lower right corner. I thought about adding another layered label below the yellow one, but I ended up deciding not to so that more of the patterned paper would show. I wrapped a piece of star patterned American Crafts ribbon around the cardfront to go with my space theme and added a felt star to the edge of the image panel, too.
