So excited that we are featuring one of my very favorite stampers, ArtzadoniStudio! I always love Lori's quirky, artsy, and super cool cards and I have a lot of them in my favorites! Including this one. I just thought that hippie fit perfectly on the nail polish marbled background. And since I have some nail polish backgrounds hanging around, I thought it would make a fun background for this Bugaboo Freebie. This week is Bugaboo's Monster Birthday Bash and this is my card for Day 1 - Monster Party Theme. I used my ScanNCut to cut out the monster and I colored him very lightly just like Lori did with her image. I thought the light coloring was a really great balance for all the rich color in the nail polish marbling. I probably didn't need a sentiment, but I have trouble resisting an outside sentiment, so I decided to go with some handlettering here. Another of my favorite things about Lori's cards is how she uses fun random trinkets and things on her cards--my favorites are the recipe cards! So I went digging through my treasure box and pulled out this shoe clip that my sister gave me when she closed down her shoe clip business--I still have a few more and won't they be great for valentines? Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!

Love everything about your inspired card, Jen! But the nail polish bg is over the top. I am going to have to check that out. The lips are a perfect tribute to Lori's exuberant style!
