Oh so happy to know you!

Yep..more Unity goodness! I'm a little addicted to it! This used the May KOTM, and colored the flower with Prismacolor pencils. Inked the edges of each layer of paper, added some crinkle ribbon, jute cord, and a button to finish. Happy Saturday!

Simply Enchanting!

This card came out different than I saw in my head, but for once, I like it BETTER than what I was picturing! Don't you love it when that happens? Wish it would happen more, but that's okay - I'll take it when I can get it!

For this card, I started off by stamping the flower from Unity Stamp Co. in clear watermark ink, and heat embossing it with clear powder. I then sprayed it with a couple different shades of walnut ink, wiped off the embossed flower, and let it dry. The sentiment was stamped with black ink, and is from Scrappy Mom's stamps. Matted it in white paper, and attached it to the background paper. What's funny, is my husband in particular LOVED this card! He usually likes all my cards (wise man!), but this one in particular he kept looking at and commenting on. Maybe it is just so different than the ones I have made in the past! Who knows! Thanks for stopping by - hope your day is "simply enchanting!"



Faith, Trust, and PIXIE DUST!!!

Good morning! Okay...I seriously had SOOO much fun with this card!!! Doesn't it just SPARKLE?!?!? I used my one and only Market Street stamp (that is gonna change I think!) to stamp the background - which is awesome in and of itself, because it is large enough for an A2 card! I then inked the edges, and added Glossy Accents and Martha Stewart course glitter. The Tinkerbell is cut with my Cricut using Disney Tinkerbell and friends, and again, covered with Glossy Accents and glitter. The sentiment frame was cut from Once Upon a Princess, inked and glittered as well, and stamped with a sentiment from Scrappy Mom's stamps heat embossed in white. Tied it on with some Baker's Twine, and pop-dotted Tinkerbell and the sentiment. Have a magical day!!!

Unity Summer Challenge - Smile it suits you!

I already made one - but couldn't resist making another card for the Summer Fun challenge over at Unity Stamps! I hadn't inked up this image yet, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity!

I stamped it on kraft paper, paper pieced it with the background paper, and added a little bling in the center of the flower using my Jolee's heat set tool. To finish, I used an edge punch on a little extra kraft paper and added some velvet ribbon and pom-pom ribbon.

Unity Friends with Flair and June KOTM sketch challenge

Good morning - and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Welcome to another Friends with Flair post! I am also submitting this to the Unity Kit of the Month sketch challenge. The sketch we were supposed to follow is at the bottom.

I used the June KOTM - such a great set this time around! Followed the sketch pretty much exactly, just added the pink pearls along the side. Did some faux stitching with a brown pen, and added a Prima flower, a bit of crinkle ribbon, and a button with some jute cord.

Now...don't forget to leave a comment, and hop on over to the Unity blog to join in and get a chance at winning some FABULOUS red rubber!!!

Here is the sketch for the KOTM sketch challenge:

Got a busy day today - so I just thought I would quickly share this little card that I hadn't gotten around to posting. You ever have one of those projects that you don't really care for that much when you are finished...but you can't think of anything else to do to fix them? This was one of those for me...oh well! Can't win them all! I think it just didn't come out like I was picturing in my head.

I used some Unity Stamps for the stars and sentiment. For the card, I rounded the edges off of two pieces of cardstock, scored the front piece, and attached them with brads. Added some patterned paper, some doodling, and a bit of sheer ribbon.
