Unity FWF - and more Brandy and Emma

It's Friday - and that means it is time for another Unity Friends with Flair!!! Make sure and check out the details on the Unity Blog on how to join in and have a chance to win some fabulous stamps!!!

I don't think I can say enough just how much I LOVE these Brandy and Emma stamps from Unity Stamps!!! They are really the CUTEST!!!


I stamped on kraft paper, and heat embossed before coloring with Copics. Rounded off the edges with my Martha Stewart corner rounder, and inked the edges of everything with Tim Holtz distress ink. 


I love the effect of the copics on the kraft paper! I don't know if it shows in the picture, but I even used a gray copic to color in a shadow under them. Here is a close up view:


Added some crinkle ribbon, Baker's twine, a Papertrey ink button, and tied on the tag with the stamped sentiment.


I cut the tag with my Cricut using the Sentimentals cartridge, and also inked the edges of it with Tim Holtz distress ink.


Thanks so much for visiting me today! Now hop on over to the Unity Stamp blog!

I am also entering this in the Frosted Designs Embossing Challenge.
