The stamps in this set come from "Unicorns & Rainbows" and "Bonus Dad." I masked the second part of the sentiment off ("...as my bonus dad") and have a card I can use for almost anyone. This one is staying tucked away in my stash until I need it. I might use it for St. Patrick's Day.
To make the background, I masked the center circle and colored with Copics. I think this background is a great example of how well the markers blend. I only used 7 markers to create the background; the variation in shade is all due to the overlapping of colors and the number of strokes of the marker I used. I finished off the focal point with a doodled dotted line and this card is ready to roll.
Have you found a way to use a stamp that was far from its original purpose?
