2023 Growing in Unity Day 1

 

Good morning and happy Monday,

I am very excited to be the featured GIU Gal this week and share my projects with you.

The last couple of years have been super crazy and I have not had much time and energy to papercraft so I am feeling a little rusty.

For my project today I chose to use stamps from the Simple Wisdom set designed by Graciellie Designs,  It is such a beautiful set of flowers and I love the sentiments 

For this card I decided to try a new technique and create a distress design and simply stamp and black image floating outside the color.   I've seen this done before but I never really gave it a try.  

The color block was created by die cutting the scalloped circle and then using the circle as my mask.  It took me a couple attempts to find a size and location for the image before I landed on this one.  I really like the sentiment as it goes with the idea of being outside the circle or box.  I also embossed the image and sentiment to help add some dimension to the layout.  

I chose the simple black and white pattern to help pull the black image forward,  

I hope you enjoy today's project and come back tomorrow.

Make sure to leave a comment everyday this week as I will be choosing 2 lucky people to win a prize from Unity. 

Thanks for stopping by
