Spin Art!

 Hi everyone! 

This week is Unity week! I sure had fun creating all the cards I will share this week and I hope you all enjoy them and get inspired. 

If you comment each day you’ll receive the opportunity to win a generous Unity store credit worth $20.   

Spin Art is something Moon and I love to do together. You might notice our little machine is very well loved. Have you ever tried Spin Art? I think those colorful circles are perfect backgrounds for the Scaredy Cat cards I’m sharing today. 

I adore these funny cats and really like how the Cheers & Confetti sentiments look with them. 
The cats were colored with my new Ohuhu alcohol markers I received for Mama’s day. I’ve finally conquered my markers fear and love the results these have. I do need a lot of practice & I’ll get there!
After the cats were colored, I accented them with shimmery gel pens. I loooove gel pens. I always use them in my creations. They’re great for highlights, eyes and adding texture to furry critters. I added some angle shots so you can see the textures. 
 





Today’s final card features the hilarious, and relatable sentiment from Snarky Cat Thoughts

Each card was embellished with whole sequins Unity offered a few years back.   



Let me know what you think! I look forward to reading your comments. 

See you tomorrow!

  3. I love this idea of the spinner. I have a spirograph and now I know how to put it to good use with my stamps.
