Good morning everyone! I'm so happy to be here with one of my favorite cards this year:) I started this card by pulling out the new Avery Elle Happy die and stamps. When I saw the die, I couldn't help thinking of the Pharrell Williams song "Happy" and that, of course, led me to the movie "Despicable Me". And *that* is how this card got a minion;)
The funny part is that I used one of the Bottle Up dies (the smaller of the tall bottles) to create my little minion. The bottom of the bottle is just the right shape:) To create the goggles/eyes, I used the circle dies from the Custom Panels dies set. I double cut some silver metallic card stock to make the open circles for the goggles. I used some black enamel dots for his eyes:) His mouth was cut by hand but you could also use a thick marker.
I just realized I never gave my little guy some hair! I'll have to draw those in later:) My kids are a little too old for this card, but I know a certain preschooler with a birthday coming up and I hope she loves her little minion!
Until next time! Thanks so much for stopping in!
