Unity Stamps Blog Hop

Hello All!

What a happy day!  I am officially on summer break and I am officially taking part in the Unity GIU Girls Blog Hop.  I could not wait to ink up my knew Unity Kit of the Month- this one is from 6/18- We Can Rise.


I used my Arteza water color brush pens for this image.  Stamped in Versafine ink and the colored away!  The sentiment is from a set I just got, Special Wishes Sentiment Kit.  Love the versatility of this set! This image reminds me of the Southwest, a place that I love, love, love to travel to.  Sadly it is not in my plans to head to Colorado, Utah, or Arizona this summer, but a girl can dream!

I am linking up to The Paper Players Challenge~


When I realized I had more time to create I pulled out the set I got from the first time I did GIU.  That set had yet to see ink as well.  So here you are- 1 dress stamp, 2 cards.  The stamp set used is Hey Girl, the 5/14 KOTM. 

The first card is vintage, all colored with the neutral, E40 Copics.  Love the warm tones in this card.


Added a bit of color with the bows and the background and used a gelly roll gold glitter pen to highlight the petite flowers, add dots to a bow and a bodice and color a bodice gold.  I left the sentiment off until I know the recipient.

The second card has a totally different look- contemporary with cool colors.


This one was tough to photograph.  I do not know why that is the case for some cards, lol.  Each dress got a contemporary look, each different.  I added big pink dots to one, colored one a platinum color, another black and another white with pink flowers.  Everything got a generous dose of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.    The dresses were fussy cut out and adhered to the card using the MOJO Monday sketch~

 I am also linking up to Watercooler Wednesday, Anything Goes.

The sentiment is from the same Special Wishes Sentiment Kit.

That's it for me!  Leave a comment on each blog for your chance to win one of two Unity prize packs!  Your next stop on this hop is Shannon!
