It's day two for my Growing in Unity Spotlight. Thank you to everyone who left wonderfully inspiring comments yesterday. You all are very kind.
My project today is put together from pieces different techniques. I have been playing with Dylusions ink spray. Using pink ink spray I misted the paper fairly heavy to get a deep color. I then I stamped the diamond background and embossed it with clear embossing powder. That locked in the pink color. Then I used blue ink spray to get the purple color. I discovered I still had this the bike image that I stamped for a previous blog post within my scraps. This one I had messed up the top while trying to blend the gealtos. I just cut off the area that was ugly and added the black border. That is why I never throw out all my mistakes. Sometimes they can find a new purpose.
The bike image and the sentiment is Unity's Enjoy this day
Don't forget come back every day and leave a comment. At the end of the week I will be giving away 2 Itty Bitty stamps to one random person who leaves a comment.
