Hello everyone!! Welcome to day 4 of my Growing in Unity week. This week, till Friday, I will be sharing projects that I made with Unity Stamps.
For today's project I used a non-holiday stamp for a Christmas card. When I thought of this idea, I was jumping with joy. It makes me extremely happy to stretch my stamps and use them for something they are not intended to. Here is the card:
Does this stamp look familiar? Yes! It is from the Vintage floral bicycle from Simple Peace, Love, Happy stamp set that I used yesterday. I used only the wheel part of the bicycle and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used my embossing pen to draw a circle around it and the holder on which the ornament is attached. I embossed all these with gold embossing powder. I then colored them using my markers. I used golden color thread to 'hang' these ornaments.
The sentiment, from Unity Stamps' Unto us stamp set, is also heat embossed with gold powder. I used red card base for this card. I masked off a thin strip on the left and applied versamark ink in a thin strip and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I adhered the white panel onto the card base.
How do you like this card? Please let me know in the comments.
