{Growing in Unity} Girl ~ Day 1

So grateful to be the {Growing in Unity} Girl this week on Facebook. My "addiction" to Facebook comes in handy sometimes. I noticed a post looking for someone to fill in as the {Growing in Unity} Girl this week. All I had to do was, be the first to reply "yes" and the week was mine. 

It was difficult to pick which of my Unity Stamps stamp sets to use. With the sales, my collection keeps growing!

Here's my first card



I started with Unity Stamps' Itty Bitty Cup of Tea stamp set. I stamped the tea bag onto an A2 card panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added a bit of color with Copic markers. I masked the tea bag and tag with a post-it note, trimmed to size and added some color to the background using distress inks (spun sugar, broken glass, shaded lilac) applied with an ink blending tool. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto the bottom right corner of the panel. I trimmed the panel down slightly, matted it onto pink cardstock and adhered it to an A2 card base.

Unity Stamps will be giving out grabs bags of 25 stamps to two random people who comment on my {Growing in Unity} posts, this week. I'll announce the winners next week.

Thanks for stopping by
