Growing in Unity Day 5

 

Good Morning crafty friends.  Its Day 5 and my final day as your Unity Gal!!!  It went by so fast.  I hope I was able to inspire you all with at least one of my projects.  Remember to go back and comment if you haven't already on all 5 days for the chance to win some Unity.  I will draw my winners at the beginning of the week, giving everyone plenty of time to comment.  

Let's get into todays project.  I created my background using a stencil from my stash and blending brushes.  I wanted to use the girl stamp on this one and highlight the "Be A lot" stamp set.  I decided I was going to leave all the color in the background and not color the stamp itself so it would pop out more.  Also there is no "BE" stamp, so I used it from the sentiment I used earlier and stamped it above "Alot". I backed each stamp with blue cardstock to make it stand out more. 

I hope everyone enjoyed my week as I always love creating using Unity Stamps.  That's it for today.  Don't forget to leave those comments.

Growing in Unity Day 4

 

Good Morning everyone.  Today is Day 4 of my GIU week.  It always goes by so fast.  I am using my Growing in Unity stamp set "Be Alot".  

My son is Graduating High School this year.  Seems like that went by too fast too.  Wasn't he just a little boy just yesterday?  Sheesh!!  I am proud of the man he is becoming.  He graduated early and will walk with his class in 2 weeks.  So I made this card for him. 

I used The feather stamp and stamped it on white card stock in black.  I used Tonic studio colored card stock to back the white.  I also used my Tim Holtz distress cutter to cut my paper. 

Instead of a Happy Graduation as a sentiment I chose "Shine bright".  Because that's all I hope he will do from this day on.  Shine bright in everything he does.  

Ok. That's it for today.  I will see you back her tomorrow for Day 5.  Make sure you leave a comment on every one of my posts because you could be the lucky winner of some Amazing Unity!!

Growing in Unity Day 3

 

Good Morning crafty friends.  Today I'm sharing a fun wood canvas I created using Unity Stamps "Be A lot" stamp set. 

I used Ken Olivers color burst and water color burst for the background.  Had a little fun getting messy.  I used paper towels to help soak some of the water up so it didn't soak the wood.  It was a little different than a regular canvas.  But still turned out pretty.  I used the same sentiment as yesterday and the butterfly.  I absolutely love this butterfly. The details are amazing. I stamped it twice to get a fluttering effect.

I hope you enjoyed today's project.  Come back tomorrow for more creative inspiration. And make sure to leave comments every day for your chance to win some Unity goodness. 

(I didn't realize my post didn't post today. So here it is. Sorry about that.)

Growing in Unity Day 2

 

Good Morning and welcome back for Day 2 of my Growing in Unity week.  Let's go ahead and get started.  I de ided to have a little more fun with my blending brushes and ink pads.  I used my Catherine Pooler stamp pads: Limoncello, it's a boy and sued shoes colors. 

First I knew I wanted to used the cute little bees from the Be A Lot stamp set.  So I decided to use a bee hive stencil.  I first used the yellow color (Limoncello) and planned to only use that for the back ground but ended up having a happy lil accident with some blue and I really liked how it was turning out. So ai added some more blue tones.   

I stamped my bee's in black and I chose the sentiment for all the Be's to go with the Bee's.  Plus I love the positive sentiment.  We all need to remember or be reminded of how good enough we really are and to just be YOU!!!  I wanted to add a layer so I bordered the sentiment with a wood piece to match and attached it with double sided tape to pop it off the card.  

I hope you like my card and enjoyed some inspiration.  Make sure you come back again tomorrow and leave comments every day for a chance to win some Unity.  See you all again Tomorrow.

Growing in Unity Day 1

 

Good Morning my crafty friends.  So excited to share my creations using Unity Stamps.  

I hope you stay with me all week long and enjoy seeing what I've created.  

I will be using Unity Stamps Company's Kit of the month "BE A LOT" all week long.  This is an amazing set and my favorite part is the positive quotes mixed with my favorite things. We all need a little more positivity as well as Self Love!! 

Today I decided to make a card.  It is hard for me to do clean and simple as I love mixed media and using all kinds of layers.  But that crafty mojo just did it's own thing today.  I started with blank card stock cut down to size for my card. 

I decided to play with my blending brushes and ink. I chose my stencil and went to work shading in the stencil and adding a few smears to add a little shaded areas behind.  On e I was happy with the colors and the design, I then added an amazing Sentiment in the kit "no beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart."

I decided to stop there and keep it very clean and simple because it really looked great and I have the perfect person to give it to.  I hope you enjoy it as much as the receiver will.  Stick around with me all week  and leave comments for your chance to win some goodies from Unity Stamps Company.  

Have a great day.

Hugs
