Growing in Unity 2024 ~ Card 5

It's crazy to think that it's already Friday, day 5. This week flew by. After the initial anxiety if I'll finish the cards in time, will they be good enough, I calmed myself down by playing with paper - LOL! A big thank you to Unity Stamp Co. for this amazing opportunity to showcase a few of their products and my handmade cards.

Here's my card

Like the other 4 days, I looked through Unity's Blog and YouTube channel for inspiration. I was inspired by this blog post and this card

I started with an A2 panel of 140 lb Strathmore watercolor paper. I masked off an area 1 3/4" wide with post-it tape. I scribbled some distress crayon (picked raspberry, seedless preserves, mermaid lagoon) in the area and then with a slightly damp cloth, I spread out the crayon and blended the colors where they overlapped. I carefully removed the post-it tape. I waited for the panel to dry. I then stamped the image and sentiment using Unity Stamp's Tea Love stamp set with Versafine Onyx black ink. I used my MISTI and stamped a few times due to the bumpy nature of the watercolor paper. I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape to complete my card.
