I fell in LOVE with the darling stamp set by the same name - Let's Connect! I created a couple cards - I shared one the other night, but today I'm sharing my favorite of the two cards! One of those cards where everything just came together perfectly the way you wanted it to - know what I mean?!?!?

I thought this stamp set was so fun and perfect for a clean and graphic card - and had fun adding layers of cardstock, fun angles, and a few whimsical circle elements to break things up!  I started off with that darling image, and left all but the heart and the square with the unicorn in it black and white. It just went perfectly with that sentiment, don't you think? And the unicorn - I mean, c'mon! And to give it that little something extra, I covered the unicorn with a hearty dose of Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen -  a good solid 2 coats. I wish you could see the sparkle better in these photos!

I added some yummy Concord and 9th cardstock to my cardbase, trimming the top at a fun angle and leaving room to stamp my large sentiment in the top left corner. I also added a strip of torn vellum to the bottom, hiding the adhesive behind the bottom of the computer monitor, which was mounted with foam tape.

I heat embossed a small supporting sentiment in white on a bit of black cardstock, then die cut it with a tiny circle from Nested Circles dies, and mounted it with foam adhesive, tucked behind the computer monitor and slightly covering the end of the large sentiment. Does the perfect job of keeping the flow of the card going! Finished off with a few Pinkfresh Studio enamel dots, and one more rounded corner using my Corner Chomper.
