Growing in Unity Day 3

Good morning.  

I can't believe it is day three of my week as a GIU gal.

It is always amazing how fast the week goes when you are having so much fun.

I wanted to get started on my Mother's Day cards.

If you know me, you know that I am a sucker for flowers.   

I don't know how many flower stamps I own but I can't resist buying more.  

That is one of the reasons I chose this set from Unity.  

She Found Joy set 

I was inspired by this piece of art that had these 

beautiful red flowers surrounded by a dark grey background, 

I wish I had a copy or link so I could share.  

It is stuck in my memory.

I use that same idea but not as dark. 

Especially since I was thinking about Mother's Day.

I chose to go with blues and grays.

After I was finished coloring I thought the background was a little flat.

So I dug out a stencil and some distress ink and added the background.  

I used my test piece on my second card.  

It turned out so nice that I could not throw it out.

the only difference is that I colored the flowers a little darker on the square card.

As you can seen I might just bee hooked on stamping on Vellum.   

I love how it adds the softness to the sentiment.
