Unity 12/17 KOTM card - Monarch with flowers

Hi everyone..it's Saturday and a super hot day here in South Carolina, so i'm indoors hiding from the heat!  

So today I'm showing off an image from one of my Unity KOTM (Kit Of The Month) from Dec 2017.  I've been a member now for going on 2 years I think.  I've got a LOT of wonderful images and so I'm challenging myself to use them more often!

I have to say, I'm pretty over the top about images like this.  The Monarch butterfly wing with the floral collection on the other side.  There's just something so graceful about this image, it really speaks to me!

I colored this with my Arteza watercolor markers on the Bristol Smooth watercolor cardstock.  I used the sentiment that also came in this kit and finished off with a few sequins.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Unity Stamp Company Vibes and Tribes

It's Friday, it's friday!  Oh my gosh, I have so much work to get done before the weekend, but no big deal!  I'm taking a moment to share a card that I colored up with my friend Jade yesterday.  She's getting back into cardmaking after a long hiatus, and she's just learning to color so I'm enjoying teaching her.  So while she's working on her projects, I've got some time just to play!

This is a fairly simple card I made using Unity Stamp Company Vibes and Tribes.  This image is mesmerizing, I absolutely adore it!  It kinda speaks to the soul, do you know what I mean?

So here's what I did.  I stamped the image using VersaFine Black Onyx on Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. I die cut it using the largest rectangle from Sizzix Stitched Rectangles Die set #661189. I colored using my Tombow Dual brush markers to color, then foam popped the entire panel onto this starry background A2 sized.  I added a few glitter enamel dots last.

Oh!  In case you are interested, Unity is having a HUGE birthday sale, so if you put this image in your cart, it magically takes 50% off or better.  Now would be a great time to pick up this image if you love it like I do!

I hope you have an AMAZING weekend!  Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mom's out there!

Unity Stamp Company - Her Day

Hi all, we're on the downward toward the weekend and that makes me pretty happy.  It's been a blah week for me as I've been fighting this cold thingy and it stinks.  But it has allowed me some coloring time on the couch and for that I won't complain!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made using the Unity Stamp Company image, Her Day.  If you click on the photo below it will take you right to their shop.

A while back, I received this stamp as a freebie with an order I placed.  I've wanted to color her up for a while and add to my birthday card stash.  I think she's so lovely, I plan to make something with her again soon!

It's all Copic colored and the paper is from an old pack in my stash.  Thanks for visiting, please leave a comment and let me know you were here!

Sympathy Card Unity Sentiment Kit

Hi everyone...coming to you today with a card that I didn't want to have to make. I recently learned that a very sweet and talented lady in our crafting community lost her daughter.  My heart breaks for this family. I'll be mailing this tomorrow and hope that it brings some comfort.

I went right to my Unity stash because their kits always seem to have such beautiful sentiments.  I was grateful to have this set on hand.

The patterned paper is by Pebbles, "Warm and Cozy".  I purchased this 6x6 pad from Butterfly Reflections Ink recently, and I just love every sheet of paper in it.  Cardstock is Fresh Asparagus by GinaK

Thank you everyone for stopping today.  I hope you're having a nice week and remember to be kind to one another.
