Friends of Unity October Blog Hop-Change

Happy World Cardmaking Day!!!.  I think that makes it a great day for the Friends of Unity Blog Hop.

 This month's theme is Change. Wow, what a hard one for me. I gave it quite a bit of thought. I tried to think about what images came to mind with change. Being the beginning of Fall of course I thought about the changing colors of the leaves. I also thought of caterpillars to butterflies. But I got a lovely new stamp in the mail last week and along with a beautiful sentiment from another kit, I decided to go a different route.


My first card uses this amazing background by Angie Blom and Unity.


 I thought the pathway into the woods would work beautifully with this sentiment to maybe send love and encouragement to someone making a big change in their life. This was colored with Copics. I will list all the supplies below. 

I wasn't super happy with just one card so at the last minute I decided to see what butterfly stamps and sentiments I had. I found this one and knew I had to make a card with it also.


This butterfly has been a favorite on mine since the day I first saw it. And this sentiment also seems to be perfect for someone making  a change in their life. I colored this one with Copics also but I just had to add some metallic gold splatters. I am sorry they don't show up well in the pictures but they are lovely in person.


And now for the winner from last months blog post. DebbieR, please email me within 2 weeks at Alaine63@gmail.com to claim your prize.

    The sentiment and the image on your first card pair perfectly with each other! I have that sentiment, but haven't used it yet. You have inspired me to see what I can do with it.

    I've had my eye on that gorgeous butterfly! I'm not sure I could do it any justice since I don't color much. But I'm thinking about it anyway! lol Your cards are beautiful.

    Great cards for the the theme! I immediately thought of butterflies when you all posted the theme. I love the sentiment with the first card, but the butterfly card is spot on. 💕
