Growing in Unity - Day 4


Hello crafty friends.

Today is day 4 of my Growing In Unity post.  Time just fly's right on by.  

I hope you are enjoying my post and found some inspiration.  

Today is Thursday that means there is a blog hop going on at the Unity blog.  

Take some time and see what the Design team has to share this week.   
I can say there are always wonderful projects.  




For my projects today I choose two different unity stamp sets.

and 

I love these two sets because of the silhouette images.  

I can have large stack of patterned paper which never holds the pattern I want.
So I find myself making my own backgrounds.

For both cards I used my Gelatos on mixed media paper to make my background.

The mixed media paper is very tough.  I allows you to work with different mediums and water.

I colored the Gelato colors onto the paper and then used my finger to blend the colors around.
 I then use a baby wipe the finish the blending.  




For the Wish card,I stamped and embossed the dandelion in black.
The sentiment is stamped and embossed with a blue glitter embossing powered.
It is hard to see the sparkle in the picture.   


For this card, I stamped the flowers in purple and used a purple metallic embossing powder.   
The sentiment is stamped and embossed in black.
And look.... some patterned paper found a home...LOL


Be sure to leave a comment.  

At the end of the week I will be choosing two random comments 

to receive a bag of 25 random stamps from Unity.  

Comment daily because you don't know what day that winners will be chosen from

Here is a link if you missed any of my post.



I will be back tomorrow with my final post from Unity.  

Thanks for stopping by

Teresa
