Every morning I wake up feeling like a slug! Yep...so serious.
Thank the Good Lord for coffee!
I wanted to combine two unlikely sets (Happy Snail Mail & Cuppa Comfort) to challenge myself. After I put them together... didn't seem so unlikely at all.
I used an embossing folder on the kraft base. Nicole Morning Brew paper and
Washi were perfect for this! Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers helped to give the snail shell a little dimension.
3 things I learned: Never be afraid of combining 2 totally different kits! Be careful with adhesive! But hey... let's pretend it's snail juice....ewwww. Always and I mean always use your misty!! If you don't, you'll be either tossing your project or trying to trace over lettering with a black marker just praying you don't mess up.

I'm so excited to be participating this year as a Growing In Unity girl! Unity stamps have become my #1 go-to stamps. Their red rubber creates the most amazing crisp images and their sentiments are the best!
Be sure to leave a comment. Unity is so so generous and is giving away grab bags to 2 random winners! Woot!
What a fantastic start! Incredible mashup of two kits. Also, slug juice flavored coffee may just be the new avacado toast to hipsters. I think you're on to something.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun! Enjoying my coffee right now!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute card. I love the whimsy of Unity Stamps. Cards made with them always have wow factor and bring smiles to the recipients.
