One Cool Chick

Here’s my card for the current Paper Smooches Sparks inspiration challenge. I loved the fun mix of fonts and colors on the sign that serves as the inspiration photo , so I used that as the jumping off point for my card.

I picked a sentiment from the My Peeps set that featured a mix of fonts and a stacked text arrangement. It’s stamped in black ink on a red panel. I attached the panel to the bottom of a light blue cardstock square. I stamped the open circle pattern from the Primary set in navy ink on a navy panel and set that above the text stamped panel, separated by a strip of fuzzy white velvet ric rac.

To match the sentiment, I stamped one of the set’s bird images on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers, then cut it out. I used a dimensional dot to set it on a white panel, then layered the panel on a turquoise circle. Another dimensional dot adheres the circle to the panel, just above the sentiment. Since the inspiration photo featured a sign/poster, I layered the panel on a navy mat, then on a white card base for a somewhat framed look.
