Unity Challenge: Week 21

This week's Unity Addicts Challenge is brought to us by Lisa, who also designs stamps for Unity (how cool is that??). Her challenge was to create a Valentine with red, yellow, robin's egg blue, and pink. Definitely not traditional Valentine colors, right?

Since the colors were a little non-traditional, I decided to put a slightly non-traditional slant on my card, too. I decided those colors would be great for a card for a child. I pulled out my Cuter Than Most kit for this fun one. I colored the one-eyed alien with Copic markers and added a wiggly eye for fun.

I used a scrap of paper from the Sassafrass Lass Sunshine Lollipops pad to cover most of the cardfront. With a blue faux stitched strip and some red ribbon along the bottom, I was able to tone the yellow down just a bit. I stamped the "I've got my eye on you" sentiment directly on the patterned paper with red craft ink. For the pink, I added a pink felt heart embellishment to the alien image. So cute and kid-friendly!
