GIU Day 4 - Birthday Flowers

  Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is Day 4 of my Growing in Unity Week. Today I have a mini slim line floral card for you using Single Flower Miracle stamp set.

Today I decided to do some watercoloring. I stamped the floral image a few times around the edge of a watercolor panel and colored them with watercolor pens. I did a mini slimline style again.

GID Day 3 - Having Fun

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is Day 3 of y Growing in Unity week. Today's card is not my usual style. I have used the Having Fun stamp set.

I stamped the image with Brutus Monroe - Maple ink and die cut it with Hexagon die. I dry embossed a piece of kraft card stock with Altenew - Geo Triangles embossing folder. I did not spritz the paper with water so I got a lighter embossing on the card stock. I added a few brown sequins to the piece. This card is completely out of my comfort zone :D.

GIU Day 2 - Wonderful Flowers

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is Day 2 of my Growing in Unity Week. Today I have a mini slim line floral card for you using Linen Flowers stamp set.

I wanted to make this card in mini slim line style. I stamped the floral image with Ink on 3 - Fade Out ink for no-line coloring and colored it with Copic markers (I used R24, R22 and R20 for red, G99, YG67, YG3, YG61 and YG03 for green). This image reminds me of embroidered flowers on frocks from my childhood. I stamped the sentiment over the flowers. I did not have a matching color card stock for matting. So I colored the edges of the card base with R22 (middle color I used) to match with the flowers. For pearls, I took some white pearls and colored them with R24 (darkest color I used) to match perfectly!

GIU Day 1 - Hello Sunflowers

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Hope you all had a great weekend. This week, I am so excited to take part in Growing In Unity. I've done this a few times, few years back, so you might have seen this already. This week, I will be showcasing different Unity stamps in my cards.

Here's y Day 1 card using Hello Gorgeous stamp set.

I started by stamping the image with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink for no-line coloring and colored it with Copics. I took a piece of brown card stock and embossed it with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and smooshed some dark brown ink on it. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock, cut it out and mated with brown card stock. I adhered all the layers to a top folding A2 card base and added some enamel dots from Altenew.

Hello Heart Swirls

Hello everyone!! I’m on the Brutus Monroe blog today with this quick and simple card using one of the latest background stamps by Brutus Monroe and Unity stamps.

I started by heat embossing the Heart Swirls Background stamp with Sour Apple embossing powder, which is the current embossing powder of the month. How gorgeous is that color.. and that shimmer!!  I love that you can not only make a soft subtle background with these background stamps (check my post from yesterday here), but also make a stunning background that steals all the limelight!! It works for both! This embossing powder coordinates well with the Cabbage cardstock. I mated this panel with cabbage card stock. I also die cut the sentiment “hello” using the hello die and adhered it on to the panel. That’s it! Pretty quick and easy!!

Floral Hello

Hello everyone!! I'm on the Brutus Monroe blog today with this no-line colored floral background card using the same gorgeous background stamp as yesterday!

I stamped the Botanical Background stamp on a piece of white card stock using sugar cone ink. Then I colored the flowers and leaves with markers. I'm loving this coral combination that I have used in some of my cards lately. I added shadow with grey marker - this is a first for me! I've wanted to try adding simple shadow to the floral images. I love how the shadow adds more depth to the image. I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered it on to a piece of Raven card stock. I die cut a hello using the Hello die on Raven card stock and adhered it on to the panel.
