Growing in Unity - Day 1

 

Good morning!

I am super excited to be this weeks GIU Gal.

It has been a while since I have blogged.  

Just as I finished taking care of  my Dad's estate we went into lockdown for Covid. 

I have been doing some art journaling to help reduce the stress of the world 
but the card making stuff has been collecting some dust.   

It was nice to start breaking everything out and making some cards again.  

Today I made this Tall mermaid card using Unity Stamp Set 
Open Sky, Deep Ocean

This is such a fun set.  Love the sea them and all those great sentiments.   

The mermaid is such a beautify image

I colored the image using water color markers.

Added some dimension using some Nuvo drops for the bubbles.  

I actually messed up one of the jellyfish.  

What do they say?.... Mistakes are opportunities to embellish.

So... Glitter was added to all of the jellyfish to give them a little sparkle.  

I found this background paper at Hobby Lobby.  It is a perfect match for my colors and theme.  

I did not add a sentiment because I'm not sure how I will use this card. 

 It is nice to have a few totally blank cards for unexpected notes.  

If you need some dimensions of a tall card.  

I found that you can purchase envelopes that are 8.875" x 3.875"

I cut 1/4" off the dimensions for the card size and it fits perfectly.

Now that you made it this far it is time to find out how to win some Unity Stamps of your very own.

I will be featuring projects all week.  

At the end of the week I will pull 2 lucky names to win a $20 credit to the Unity website.  

Please be sure to comment every day.

Thank you for stopping by.
