Growing in Unity Blog Hop

Hello Unity friends. It's time for a few of use that were Growing in Unity gals in May and June to do a blog hop. I have a card using a couple of the newest stamps set from Unity Stamp Co. 

Be sure to follow along and comment along the way to win one of two Unity prize packs.


I had so much fun making this card. I used the flower from Sending Hugs to randomly stamp over a 3" white panel. I colored the flowers with Copics in R81, R83 & R85. The leaves are YG61 and YG63. Once all the images were colored I took the black Copic and colored all around them. I stamped the sentiment from Simply and Lovely on a 5/8" strip of white and framed it with to die cuts from a lacy Sizzix die. I placed the two lace dies and the sentiment strip on black card stock and then trimmed my colored panel to fill the space above it. It's actual even. I tried several times to get a straight picture but it wasn't happening. lol. 

Follow along with the hop and be sure to comment!

Alaine-you are here.
