This image just yelled Copics to me.  This image is so cute and it was fun to use lots of happy colors.  As I love paint splatter I flicked some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink on the card which just made the image.  I added some layers in the back and some of those acrylic bubble looking things.  Now I did forget something - can anyone figure out what it is?  I just saw it!

Here are some affiliate links for products I used for this card.  No cost to you, but I get a small commission if you purchase a product through this link:

Dad/Special Guy Cards 4 Kids Card Recipe

I was perusing Etsy to get an idea for this month's card and I found the sentiment - Dad - You're One in a Minion.  I knew that was the sentiment I wanted to use.  It just so happened I had some Minions that I'd cut out with my Cricut year ago.  I put them together and put them in a container for later projects.  Guess what - this is just the later project I had in mind.  I typed the sentiment in Word and printed it in 3 different fonts.  I cut out the one I like the best and then took Momento Paris Dusk ink and used it to ink around the edges.  I found a blue background with polka dots that I liked.  And I found another blue piece of card stock in my left over bin to put behind the sentiment.  I inked around all the edges with the Momento Ink.  I popped up the Minion and the sentiment and added 3 yellow enamel dots.  Then I put it on a card base.  Anything with googly eyes and Minions is adorable.
