GIU Day 2 - Hope Blooms

Hello everyone!! Welcome to day 2 of my Growing in Unity!! This week, till Friday, I will be sharing projects that I made with Unity Stamps. Let's get on to the project for today.

October is the Breast Cancer Awareness month. So I thought it would be appropriate to make few cards in pink. Here's one for today:


The image is from Unity Stamps' Happiness looks gorgeous stamp set on a piece of kraft paper that I recycled from the grocery bag. I stamped it with VersaMagic white chalk ink and colored with markers and glitter pens. The sentiment, from Unity Stamps' Petal Whimsy {Where Flowers Bloom} stamp set is also stamped with white chalk ink. I didn't have any dark pink cardstock. So I colored the edge of a white card stock with the same marker I used to color the flowers and used it to mat the kraft paper. I used dark pink/magenta glitter tape on the pink card base and adhered the panel at an angle to add more interest. I used my regular hole punch to punch out small circles from the glitter tape and covered it with glossy accent. I'm kind of getting hooked to glossy accent. I seem to use it more often!

I will admit that this card did not turn out the way I had thought, but anyway thought of sharing it so that you can help me in understanding the mistakes that I did and what I could have done better.

Thanks for stopping by. Do visit me every day this week, and leave your thoughts and comments. I will pick 2 winners at the end of this week and they will win 25 random stamps from Unity!! How awesome is that!! See you tomorrow with another new and exciting project.

    I think your card is wonderful! So glad you shared it even though it didn't turn out the way you envisioned. This happens to everyone, it happens to me more often then I want to admit! I love the coloring on the craft and the glittery accents are a fun touch!

    I think colors on kraft look wonderful, Berina, and I can't believe you used a grocery bag. Such a wonderful card for a wonderful cause. Thanks for sharing this with us at ATSM this week.

    I think your card is really pretty and I love the white image stamped on kraft. It's such a fun idea to use a grocery bag as your card base.
