Growing in Unity day 1
Words cant express how excited I am to be a growing in unity girl for the second year! I t was only August when I did mine last and I had the best support from women around the globe after my mother had just passed away. I had help with blogs and help with projects when I couldn't get the them. I have a wonderful support system from the women in my life from Unity. That's what Unity stands for. We have all definitely picked up the love and compassion of a wonderful company, spreading the joy and excitement of fellow artist. Feel free to come and hop along with me for a chance to win one of two grab bags of 25 stamps from UNITY STAMP COMPANY
I choose to share a gift set of cards I made that are very simple but elegant. I made them for a friend a late Christmas present! Real late! She loves sparkle and she is very girly! She is a very inspiring woman to me and I appreciate the love she shares with everyone. I just wanted to share love back.
All of these cards came from a Unity stamp set older kit of the month. https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/happiness-looks-gorgeous-kom-215/
I used a variety of products. On the first card, the feather, I stamped the image with black ink, colored it with spectrum noir markers only on the leafs, flowers and heart. Then I added ice stickles on the feather only. I really makes it pop of the page.
The second card is a ballet dress form, I made this one extra sparkly by adding glittery embossing all over the entire image! I really wanted this to stand out! Then when it was still wet I added some more of my Martha Stewart glitter! A whole lotta sparkle!
And last but not least I made a card with woman of different colors and the same shoe. representing the outward appearance my be different but we are all the same on the inside. God sees us as individuals but we are all one body and of one God. I gave these cards to a woman who is not only a teacher, a pastors wife and a missionary! They represent all of who she is and I adore that about her.
Awesome, awesome cards! I really LOVE that dress one. It is so SPARKLY! Congrats on your GIU week!
