Good morning! I'm excited today to be starting of my week of Growing in Unity for Unity Stamp Company! In case you don't know how it works, make sure and leave a comment everyday for a chance to win 2 Unity Itty Bitty stamps of your choice at the end of the week. I will draw a winner from comments left throughout the entire week.
Now...onto the projects! I decided it would be fun to take some of the fun Sassy Sentiments by Erin Schreiner and focus on those for the week! I will be using one sentiment two different ways for each day of this week, paired up with die cuts or other Unity stamp images. One more classy or vintage inspired, and one more CAS, retro, or modern. Something like that anyway! So, for today I chose the sentiment "PUT YOUR DANCING SHOES ON." from the set called Sassy Pants. Here is the first card I made with it:
I also used an Itty Bitty stamp called You Sweep Me Off My Feet, and went for a chalkboard style stamping effect.
Used pattern paper from Crate Paper's DIY Shop 6x6 paper pad, PTI Cardstock for the cardbase, tucked a doily and some jute twine behind the chalkboard panel, and finished off with a few enamel dots.
Okay, that was the vintage style - here is one I did in more of a bright, fun, and retro style:
For this one I used an image from the July 2012 KOTM, stamped it in black on a rectangle cut out with my Lil' Inker's Stitched Rectangle Dies, and then stamped the sentiment using MFT ink.
Used some older Echo Park paper for my background, added some fun embellies from Glitz Designs as well as some enamel dots, and finished off with a bit of washi tape
That's it for today! I'll see you again tomorrow for two more cards using another sentiment! Have a great Monday!!!
