Unity Hip Hop - Crazy, Magic, Beautiful Life

Good evening!!! Time for the Thursday evening hop with Unity Stamps


I really should have done a video on this card - and will probably try to do one soon! Life has been crazy though, and I just couldn't get it done! So...I will do my best to explain! :) I started with watercolor cardstock, blended on distress inks, then misted with some shimmer mist and let the colors run together. The whole thing is SUPER shimmery and pretty in real life! Always hard to photograph though! I then added some flicks of the same distress ink by mushing it on a nonstick mat and adding a bit of water, then dipping and flicking my brush. The feathers I fussy cut out, then mounted with foam adhesive over the top of that background. I also added some stickles on the feathers - again, hard to see in the photos. Finished off with a Pretty Pink Posh scallop frame (LOVE this frame die!) and a few clear droplets. I roughed up the edges of a couple of the scallops for extra texture as well. Finished off with a blue cardbase and a orange paper bow, also cut with a Pretty Pink Posh die. All supplies are linked below if you are curious about anything!
