Growing in Unity 2024 ~ Day 1

Happy New Year Crafty Friends! I'm so excited to start my year off as the first Growing in Unity person of 2024. Not going to lie, I was on an extended vacation when I found out I was chosen as the first Growing in Unity person and was a bit stressed to see if I could finish my cards in time, once I returned home. However, working with Unity Stamps is so easy and I have quite a collection of them. 

I'm grateful to Unity Stamps Co. for giving me this opportunity to showcase some of my cards. I'd love it if you could leave me a comment, be sure to add your name if you're posting anonymously. I'll randomly select two people from those who leave a comment on one of my GIU posts this week to win a $20 gift credit to Unity Stamps.

Here's my first card

I was looking for ideas and found this video by Heather Hoffman who made this card for Unity Stamps 

I incorporated her technique on my card. I started by stamping the butterflies using Kit of the Month March 2023 - A Good Man & Some Butterflies on a white A2 card panel. I used a 1/2", 3/4" and 1" circle punch to make masks from post-it notes. I used the masks to add color randomly using distress inks - Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Ripe Persimmon, applied with oval ink blending brushes. I stamped the sentiment from the same Kit below the butterflies. I trimmed the panel down to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8", matted with black cardstock cut to 4" x 5 1/4" and then adhered it to a white card base with double-sided tape to complete my card. 

If you're leaving a comment here on my blog, to be eligible for the random drawing for a $20 gift credit to Unity, be sure to include your first and last name.

Thanks for stopping by.
