Growing in Unity 2023 ~ Day 5

Can't believe that my week as the Growing in Unity 2023 person has reached the end. It's been fun. Unity Stamps is an American company, based in Minnesota. They have a vast collection of red rubber stamps, as well as patterned papers, dies, Unity swag, and other crafting supplies. I am so grateful to them for giving me this opportunity to showcase some of their products.

Here's my card

For my card, I used a stamp from Unity's Kit of the Month - June 2018 called We Can Rise. I stamped the flowers and foliage onto 140 lb Strathmore watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added color with distress inks - abandoned coral, wilted violet, twisted citron, mowed lawn, chipped sapphire, tumbled glass. I smooshed the ink on a plastic place mat and picked up some ink with a wet brush and applied it to the panel. I altered the amount of water used to created darker and lighter areas. I added the tumbled glass to the area around the focal panel to give it some color and interest. When the panel dried, I trimmed the panel to just slightly smaller than A2 size and matted with a black A2 panel. I then adhered it to a white A2 card base to complete my card. I left my card without a sentiment so that I could use it in for a variety of occasions.

I will be choosing two winners randomly from those who leave me a comment on my blog, over my five days as the Growing in Unity Person and will be posting the winners' names on the Facebook - Growing in Unity - Cardmaking/Rubber Stamping group.
