Good morning again! I'm excited to be this weeks Growing in Unity gal for Unity Stamp Company! If you don't know how it works, I get to share my projects all week long, and then pick a comment from sometime during the week to win two itty bitty stamps of their choice! So...the more comments you leave, the better chance you have of winning! I will draw and announce a winner on May 5th! I have been so in love with the Watercolor trend lately, that I decided to do a weeks worth of watercolor projects! I am also going to give away a set of the same watercolor paints I have been using all week - so you can try out the watercolor trend as well!
Here is my Day 2 project:
Here is my Day 2 project:
For this card, I used another itty bitty stamp called WILD about you {giraffe}. I love the fun variety of Unity stamps - you can get cute, fun, elegant, serious, and beautiful all in the same place! And the red rubber stamps beautifully! I stamped this again on watercolor paper, and had fun coloring him in with my watercolor paints. I stamped the sentiment in two parts so that it would fit on my panel.
Added some background paper from Basic Grey, a few sparkly clear sequins, and some jute twine tied with a coordinating October Afternoon button. Also rounded off a couple corners on my watercolor panel before attaching with foam adhesive.
Thanks so much for stopping by this week! See you again tomorrow!
Heather, this is perfect! I love everything about this -- the watercolor effect, the cute stamp and sentiment, those big, bold polka dots. Everything.
