Friends with Flair: Ups and Downs

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve played along in Unity's Friends with Flair, but I got one of the new Itty Bitty sets and wanted to try it out. I used the I'm Here set to create a card with an encouraging message.

I stamped the yoyo image twice on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. I cut out one of the images and layered it over the other using dimensional dots. I left enough room to stamp the first part of the matching sentiment at the top of the panel.

I used a strip of Cosmo Cricket’s Circa 1934 paper for the panel on the left side of the cardfront. It’s layered on a red mat, then attached to the gold card base. I embossed a circle die cut with a polka dot pattern and added that to the card before attaching the matted image panel. I used my stamp positioner to stamp the rest of the sentiment under the image panel. A pretty plaid bow, made with my Bow Easy, finishes the design.
