Playing Catch Up with Unity Thursday

Hi everyone!

Thanks for hopping by....

This week I was playing (I'm always saying that!! LOL....because it really is playing!!)

with some of my stamps that I had yet to bust out and create with.

I wanted to play along with the Unity {be inspired} Challenge.....but sometimes it takes me a bit longer to get to ALL the projects I want to do. So I am only just getting to it now.....better late than never, right?

Anyways, here's a peak at the challenge...

CELEBRATE YOU

I followed along with the card sketch and the color challenge.

I love this little technique - rolling the corner down. Adds a sweet bit of interest, femininity and texture....

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock; Crate Paper Random Collection - Pattern & Curtains; Pink Paislee - Unbelievable; BoBunny Double Dot Designs Soft Shades 6X6 Paper Pad; Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Circles and Classic Scallops; EK Success/Stampin Up Three Hearts Punch; Kaisercraft Pearls - Yellow; Jenni Bowlin Ink - Spice Tin; Twine & Button - Misc.

MOMENTS

For this next card I really did get into play mode.....the whole thing is a bit technique heavy in comparison to my usual style...but I was just so inspired by the June 2013 Layers of Life {paper hearts}.

I created my own patterned paper by using the background stamp in multiple ink colors. Then I blended co-ordinating colors in with my distress inks to give it a more vintage and soft look. 

Then I stamped the butterfly image overtop in a brown color so it would contrast with the background. I also added a few pearls to bring your attention to it more...

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock; Simple Stories Documented - Damask Ledger/Grid; We R Memory Keepers Comstock Collection - Candy; Jenni Bowlin Ink - Stick Candy, Speckled Egg, Chicken Feed, Lemon Drops & Brown Sugar; Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage, Broken China, Spiced Marmalade & Mustard Seed; Kaisercraft Pearls - Pearl; Spellbinders Fancy Tags; October Afternoon Sprinklers - Comet Tail; Jillibean Soup - Butterfly Sugar Picks; Flower, Lace, Seam Binding & Paper Doily - Misc.

I hope you feel inspired to check out the challenge and the Layers of Life program....both are great ways to enjoy more beautiful red rubber from Unity!
