GIU - Day 1: Happy Birthday

Hello everyone!! I'm so excited to be the Growing In Unity Girl this week!! I will be sharing my creations using Unity Stamps this week till Friday.

For my Day 1, I made a birthday card. I wanted to try watercoloring (inspired by the watercolor challenge at Catchy Challenges) on watercolor paper (I tried it once on glossy card stock here). So here it is:



I water colored the background. The birds, cycle and the "happy birthday" are from the Unity Stamps Follow Your Own set.

A closer look at the birds. I stamped the line of birds and fuzzy cut a few of them and used it here.


I stamped the background stamp with many cycles and fuzzy cut one of them to add it here. The grass in front of the fence is also a stamp from Unity, but I do not know its name. It is an irregular scallop border, which is perfect for this! "happy" and "birthday" are also from the "Follow Your Own" stamp set. The "happy" is stamped without the circle. The fence is cut from white card stock and I inked the corners with grey ink.


Here's another view of the card:


Hope you liked it!!

Please leave your thoughts and comments! I will pick 1 random winner from all the comments left on the 5 days, to receive 2 itty bitty's of their choice. How awesome is that! You have until Sep 28 midnight EST to comment and I will announce the winner on Monday, Sep 29. Thanks for stopping by.
