Growing in Unity Day 3

Good morning! Today is the 3rd day 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 "oh darling, let's be adventurers." from the set called Hiya Gorgeous. Here is the first card I made with it:


LOVE LOVE LOVE how this one came out! I'm kind of thinking about keeping it - seriously! I used a fun Itty Bitty called "happy to be me" - something about silhouettes always makes me happy I guess! I stamped it with MFT ink on a circle cut with a Spellbinder's Die and trimmed off on the side to make it flat. Added some layers of washi tape underneath the image as well. 


All my pattern paper is from an older Crate Paper paper pad - Story Teller. I trimmed the banners by hand, stamped my sentiment with MFT inks, and added a Tim Holtz paper clip on the side. Finished off with some Studio Calico Wood Veneer shapes that I colored with Copics to match my project. 


And the next one is totally bright and fun!


For this one I started off by cutting a circle with a Spellbinder's die in a piece of cardstock, then using the negative piece as a mask and blending some different colors of Tim Holtz distress ink in sunset colors. Then I stamped the Itty Bitty Destination Happiness over the top of it.


Added some washi tape underneath, stamped the sentiments and colored a bit of it with Copic markers, and tied on some jute twine. Added a few sequins, and a little bit of ephemera from Crate Paper and a Tim Holtz paperclip.


I am also linking these up to this weeks Simon Say's Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes!

That's it for today! I'll see you again tomorrow for two more cards using another sentiment! Have a great day!!!
