Today is my Growing in Unity Day 2 and I have a fairly simply mixed media card to share with you using one of my favorite masculine Unity Stamp Co. stamps, Slowly Turning Classic by Tierra Jackson. Don't forget to comment for your chance to win!
The image was stamped on patterned paper and colored with Copics. I framed it with a Polaroid die cut and distressed the die cut a bit to make it look aged. I could not settle on a backdrop for the image, so I got out my Gel Press and acrylic paints to make some masculine backgrounds.
I really love how the backgrounds turned out and this one, with the bit of blue peeking through, seemed perfect for my focal image.
