Growing in Unity - Day 4 - Peace and Comfort


Hello again! Can't believe how fast this week is going! It is Day 4 of my Growing in Unity post. I just barely got this card done...yesterday was CRAZY! I made something else, but wasn't happy with it - so fortunately was able to sit down and get this made!
I started off with my Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut the scallop rectangle, then inked it with some Tim Holtz distress ink in two colors.
After that, I stamped the flowers using the Insightful Meadows set in black ink. 
Took that and mounted it with foam adhesive on the pattern papers layers - which are all from Basic Grey's PB&J 6x6 paper pad, each layer matted in white.
Finished off by using some lace, and the blue jute twine - both from Ribbon Carousel - and a button from Papertrey Ink. 
The sentiment with is from one of the small sentiment sets {...heartfelt sympathy...} - I think it is such a perfect sentiment for both a sympathy card, but also could fit for a card of encouragement, or for a get well card.
Thanks for coming to see me again! Make sure and leave a comment for your chance to win a Unity Itty Bitty of your choice! I will draw a lucky winner on Saturday from all the comments on my Growing in Unity posts!
