 Fabulous Flamingo


This image is fabulous flamingo from Unity. I asked my 4 year old granddaughter what image I should use and this is what she chose. It is colored with copics and has stickles and nuvo drops on the body. Flamingos are actually more peach than pink so that is what I tried to do with this.

This is my last day as Growing in Unity Gal. It's been fun. Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a prize from Unity.

 Bountiful Haul


Fall is my favorite time of year and this truck just shows it off perfectly.  The stamp is from Unity and called Bountiful Haul. It is all colored with copics. After I colored the truck red I colored over it with tan to make it look a little older. I stamped the gourd again and cut it out and popped it up with foam tape. On the license plate I wrote FALL with a colored pencil.

This is day 4 of my week as Growing in Unity Gal. Tomorrow is my last day.

 ...no limit to love


This is one of those stamps that I had to have but never got around to using.
This girl is from a Unity Company stamp set called ..no limit to love.
She is colored with Copics. I don't know how many different mediums I used for the stars though. I just kept truing things - some acrylic paint, different colors of wink of stella, etc. I added a bit of string for a bow for her hair. The dies are from Unity as well.

 Cuddlebug Lion


For this card I used the Cuddlebug Lion Stamp set .from Unity Stamp Company I have had a love affair with lions since my college days.  I colored the lion with prismacolored pencils. I used the postage stamp die set to cut our the image and border then wrapped the string around the corners. The words are a sticker from Tim Holtz idea-ology metallic stickers book. Day 2 for my week as a Growing in Unity Girl.

 SPEEDY


This is such a great image for a get well card. The stamps are from Unity, such a great stamp company.

It is colored with copics. The card is square, such a nice departure from the A2 card. The banner for the words was cut by hand. I made this card for a friend that fell and broke her tibia plateau. OUCH!

Because she is such a wonder friend I added this quilt that I made to her card.

House

 I love this style of stamp but I'm never sure if I can do it justice. You'll have to be the judge.


I colored the house in copics and prisma color pencils. I chose the colors for the house because my daughter is residing her house and roof in these colors lol. although her house doesn't look too much like this cute cabin. I added two ribbons on the side.

Enjoy the blog hop.

Nativity

 Nativity

I really struggled with this card. I love nativity scenes but have so much trouble making one I like.


This stamps are from Unity's Blessed Baby. The images are stamped in gold and embossed with detail gold. The nativity is colored with copics. The ink blending is done with distress inks, marmalade and brushed corduroy. There are two ribbons coming down the side. One is an organza and the other is a linen ribbon Unity carried.

Keep Christmas in your heart and keep stamping.

Gnomes

 Gnomes


 I love gnomes and creating scenes. This card combines the two. The gnomes are from Unity's Gnome Matter What and colored with copics. The couch was paper pieced from a Unity paper. The picture is stamped in green and embossed with clear embossing powder. In the center dot and outer dots are Nuvo drops dragon scales. The stamp is from the November 2018 KOTM. The packages are from October 2020 KOTM. They were actually on the seat of a moped. I just cut off the moped. They are colored with Copics and a drop of Stickles on the star. The window is a die from Spellbinders. The black paper behind the window is splattered with white paint. The wood grain is from a Unity paper pack.

Keep a bit of whimsy in your heart this Christmas and keep stamping!

Poinsettia

Poinsettia 

I love poinsettias so this card was a natural. I stamped Tin Tile Background with VersaFine Clair Chianti and then embossed it using clear embossing powder. Next I smeared Adriondack Cranberry all over it. I stamped Paper Poinsettias with black. It took a few times of stamping over the embossed tin tile because it was embossed. Next the poinsettia was cut out. Glued the smaller one over the big one. I put sequins in the center. The leaves were stamped on a patterned paper. All stamps are from Unity.

Enjoy the season with all the color.

 Mitten

The mitten stamp is from the October 2021 KOTM and the snowflakes are from the September 2021 KOTM by Unity. The snowflakes are embossed with white diamond embossing powder.  Merry is from the Heart of Christmas coordinating die. There are three layers glued together. An organza ribbon is tied around the square layer before the mitten was mounted with foam tape.

Stay warm and keep stamping!
