Good morning and welcome to my blog. Its been awhile since I have made a post. This week I am the Unity Girl of the week and will be sharing a project everyday with you. You have a chance to win a gift certificate to the Unity Stamp Company just by leaving a comment on my blog. You can increase your chances by commenting everyday.
Today I have a Masculine Mini Slim Card for you. I love Mini slim cards they are my favorite. List of supplies with links (affiliates will be noted) are at the bottom of the post.
I started by using some tan cardstock and stamping the feather image in Embossing ink over the entire 3.25" x 6" panel. I heat set my favorite clear embossing powder and then ink blended over the entire surface with Weeping Willow ink. (I realize that this feather stamp is not available anymore, but since it is just a backdrop. I listed a few substitutes from the Unity site that could be used instead. I apologize, I am trying to ink up unused stamps this year.)
Next I stamped the Deer head image with Weeping Willow ink and covered it with clear Embossing powder. I used Olo Markers to color in the image. I used an older frame die from my stash to cut out the image and attach it to my panel.
For my sentiment, I went direct to paper with Weeping Willow ink and then stamped and heat embossed this "punny" sentiment. I did the same technique for the DAD die cut and then attached everything to my Mini Slim card base.
I hope you enjoyed my card and will stop by each day to see what I have planned.
