So I know things have been a bit quiet on the blog front of late... hangs head... I have been busy working on lots of stuff, some of which I can't show you yet.... ;) But mostly, I have just been busy.
One card I wanted to share with you today is my paper ode to Katy Perry's pop anthem/song Roar. I don't know if it's hit your radio waves yet, but it's all over stations in Northeast Ohio and I kinda love it. It's so catchy and a great message too. Check out the video here.
When you find inspiration in recent popular culture, sometimes it's a challenge to figure out how to capture it without a stamp set, for example, that spells it out. So I turned to my computer and came up with this:
I created a text box in Microsoft Word and typed my text and printed onto a piece of lightweight cardstock. Next, I stamped the image of the lion (The Craft's Meow- Birthday Puns) and the starburst (Avery Elle- Bright Days). I trimmed the cardstock, punched the corners and mounted it on red cardstock. I adhered some enamel dots in the corners before adhering it to a embossed piece of Aquamarine cardstock and attaching the completed panel to a white cardstock base.
The fonts I used were Orniste and Simplicity. Both can be downloaded for free on DaFont.
Well, that's it for me today! I will be back a bit later this week with a fun Neat & Tangled Halloween project. Hope to see you then! Thanks for stopping by!

Seriously Katie! This is sooo cool! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card!
ReplyDeleteLiterally as I am reading your blog - I'm hearing my local news in the background announcing that a local high school won the "roar" contest and Katy Perry will perform at the school next week! I guess I need to catch up a little because I love your use of "roar" on the card - and clearly it would be meaningful to all of those loving the song!
