Welcome to my Uniko Brand Ambassador post. I'll be frank: my creativity is running on empty, even though I'm still making cards. Essentially, I'm defaulting to what I do in missing-mojo situations: drawing inspiration from other designers. Today, my muse is none other than our sweet Bev!
Currently, the crafting universe is virtually *exploding* with gratitude/thank you cards dedicated to all those who are risking their well-being to keep our world functioning through the pandemic. Be they front line medical personnel, grocery store/warehouse staff, truck drivers...we are surrounded by 'heroes' we want to acknowledge. To that end, I brought out one of my all-time favourite Uniko sets - Explosion Additions - and pretty much 'cased' Bev's card here, re-visioning it for the current situation...
I followed Bev's recipe for the most part with slight (very very slight *grin*) changes to the original: sentiments stamped on the small Explosion dies and partial stamping, with a small solid explosion image, on The Stamp Market letters.
I'm happy with my copy-cat version of Bev's card, especially since it really is easy to recreate; something I'll definitely be doing!
Below are a few of my previous 'non-copied' cards made with the Explosions line. I love it!
Hope my card - or should I say, Bev's card - offered you some inspiration of ways to use Explosions to recognize the heroes where you live.
Please: stay safe and keep creating...doing so is good for the soul!
Thank you for dropping by!
Wonderful cards, I love these stamps.
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific, Carol. Bright and cheerful and bound to bring a smile. :)
ReplyDeleteCASEd or not, this is a terrific card! (You know you could link this up over at Seize the (not birthday but) Hero, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to honor those heroes without having to color a person, Carol. Great card!
