Growing in Unity Day 3 - All Joy

Wow, it's midweek already!  I am having such a wonderful time Growing in Unity and reading your comments! 

For today's card, I knew I wanted to feature Graciellie Designs.  Hey Friend has seen ink before but He Will Sustain You has not so I thought it would be fun to pair them together for hump day.  I don't know about you but about midweek I need a little filling of joy and peace! 

I created a watercolor wash in the combo of Art Nudge#16 with the intention of using it as a full-size background.  I didn't like how the edges turned out so instead, I stamped the flowers and feathers directly on the background.  Lastly I  fussy cut them and created my design.

I am entering this in the FB Art Nudge Group.  The Art Nudge is open to all artists and all types of art.  If you love art challenges, stop by and join! 

  

Don't forget to comment.  Each day's comments get counted for a chance to win a random selection of Unity stamps!

For today's comment, I would love to know if you enjoy creating cards for card challenges?  If so how many challenges do you enter per week?

Thanks for stopping by!  I have so enjoyed your visits this week!

Rest, Be Still, Breathe

Happy Saturday!!!  It's a beautiful day out today!  There are so many things to enjoy about Saturdays and one of them is the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  I enjoy looking at a photo and allowing it to spark creativity so the IC challenge is the one for me!  This week it's my turn to challenge us.  Splitcoaststampers is a free site open to everyone with daily challenges, personal galleries, tutorials and much more. Just click here to check out today's IC653 challenge.  If you stop by let me know, I am ohmypaper! over there!!!

I am a big fan of Unity Stamp Co. for their unique designs.  I love hanging out at Unity Stamp Co Show & Tell on FB and I love watching Angela and Whitney's videos at Unity Stamp Co FB.  Angela and Whitney are warm, funny and inviting.  I love to catch the sales at Unity which is what I did with the stamp kit I am featuring today.  I purchased three Truly Rest kits while it was on sale and sent them to my friends, Janeen and JoAnn.  We decided to create two cards each and then have a reveal day.  It was a lot of fun seeing how differently we all used the same stamp.  

I just noticed that the kit is back on sale this weekend so if you like it.....

The gold in the photo inspired me to open up a jar of gold paste and distress the edges of my layers.  I also dabbed a bit over the feathers once they were colored.  One of the mugs has a gold and blue feather so I used that as inspiration for my coloring.

For my next card, I went for an even cleaner look, I used the same Copic markers as above, coloring the leaves yellow gold but the feathers completely blue.

Thanks so very much for stopping by today!
