Hey Crafty Friends. I'm sorry for the late post. Last night and this morning got away from me. Today is my last day as a GIU Girl. The week usually flys by and this week isn't any different.
I just want to say Thank you to Unity Stamp Company for yet another wonderful opportunity to create and be a GIU Girl.
And a Big Thank you to all of you for leaving amazing comments. I hope I was able to inspire you to think outside the box.
Make sure you comment on everyday for your. Chance to win a $20 gift card to Unity. There will be 2 winners. I will give everyone thru the weekend to comment and pick winner Sunday night or Monday.
My project for today, I decided to play again with the Ken Oliver color bursts for the background but decided to stamp the image as part of the background too. I didn't use these beautiful flowers yet from the same kit "Difference Maker".
I also used the same sentiment as before just cause I like it a lot.
Welcome back for Day 4 of Growing in Unity!! For today's project I was just playing around with Ken Olivers color burst and came up with a pretty neat background. So I wanted to use one of the feathers I didn't use and came up with a clean and simple card. I also wanted to use the sentiment Difference Maker. I think it's pretty cool to have a meaning or definition with it.
I also added some layers to make everything pop.
Welcome back for Day 3 of Growing in Unity!!
Today I'm sharing a more simple but still beautiful card. I used the same kit from Unity Stamp Company "Difference Maker". This time I am using the silhouette of the night sky. Such a beautiful stamp.
I stamped using a lighter blue colored cardstock and my Cathrine Pooler blue suede shoes ink. I stamped my image and then using my blending brushes to add a little distress around the edges making it look shadowed in.
I was just going to layer with darker blue behind but found a black glitter paper in my stash. So I added it in between to give it a little sparkle. I also used the most empowered sentiment I've seen yet. "She overcame everything that was meant to destroy her". It really hits home for me. I added a little color behind to make it pop and used thick double stick tape to adhere it to bring it up off the card.
I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do. Remember to comment each and every day for your chance to win. Go back and comment on the previous day if you haven't already. Each comment is a chance to win.
Thanks for stopping by. I will be back again tomorrow with another fun project.

Welcome back everyone. Today is Day 2 of my Growing in Unity week. If you have visited my blog before you already know I can't help myself but to get a little bit inky and create some kind of mixed media. So today I am sharing a tag I made using the same kit from Unity Stamp Company that I used yesterday. Difference Maker.
I have always loved positive quotes and/or sayings and that is one of the many reasons I love Unity Stamps. There is so many amazing stamps with positive and encouraging vibes. Something this world really needs more of.
I started with a blank tag. Using black gesso I covered the entire tag to prime it. After drying with my heat gun I added a second, thicker coat to add a little texture. I then chose a honey comb stencil from my stash. Using deco art modeling paste I stenciled a small section. I used my heat gun again to dry it quicker. By doing this it will allow the modeling paste to crack at times. Which I am ok with because I like the cracks. To avoid them your project should air dry.
I added a few fun colors of paint for the background. I stamped the feathers in blue ink on white cardstock and fussy cut them out. I found a few other things in my stash to add some layers. I also stamped the sentiment "Strength". Which I found in a different stamp set by Unity. I just thought it fit.
I hope you found some inspiration today. Remember to leave a comment for your chance to win. 2 winners will be chosen and each with get a $20 credit to Unity! Please also pay attention to not post anonymously or to re-comment on your comment with your name. Thanks for stopping by. See you again tomorrow.

Good Morning crafty friends. Today is my Day 1 as a Growing in Unity Girl. One of my favorite things to do since I absolutely love Unity Stamp Company.
One thing I like to do is use one of my Unity kits of the month and use a variety of the stamps it contains to show a different variety of things you can do. So I hope to inspire you to step outside the box and get creative.
This week I plan to use Lot of the month: Difference Maker.
My card today I chose to work with the sunflower. At first I stamped it and colored it but didn't like how it was looking. So I stamped again, used Tim Holt's distress crayons and fussy cut the flower out. I then stamped the image again leaving it uncolored and used my distress trimmer. I wanted to used a teal color in the background so I layered a few different colors to make the image pop. I then added the colored image at an angle to give it a 3D look. I also added the sentiment "Life is Tough but so are you!"
I hope you enjoyed my card today. Remember to comment every day this week for your chance to win. Prize will be a $20 gift credit to Unity Stamp Company and there will be 2 winners soale sure you comment.
I will be back tomorrow with another creation.
Hugs
Amy
