Growing in Unity July 2023, Day Two

Hey there crafty people! It's already Day 2 of my Growing in Unity Week. Thanks for all your love on my first day. I appreciate you all. When hello human was released, I knew I had tohave it in my life. The giraffe is so stinkin' cute and the sentiment is perfect.







Isn't she cute? This card was created on heavy weight green card stock. I took heavy weight white card stock and cut it with one of the Unity deckle and stitches dies. This is my first time using this die as well as the hello human set. Once it was cut, I sponged Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber over it. I spritz some water on it and set it aside. I stamped the giraffe on water color paper and fussy cut it. I used a Prima water color on it along with a Prismacolor colored pencil with a little Gamsol. I then grabbed the Resilience set. First time using this set as well. I stamped the fern in Stampin' Up Old Olive and the bamboo shoot in Stampin' Up Soft Suede on the white card stock. I then layered 3 acetate pieces from 49 and Market over the fern and bamboo. The giraffe was added with foam adhesive. I placed a strip of Tim Holtz fabric tape on the left side of the card base. I placed the stamped panel on the card base with foam adhesive. The sentiment, hello wonderful human, is also from the hello human kit. I stamped it on white card stock and rounded the edges. The edges and cut piece were inked with Fossilized Amber and Ground Espresso, also from Tim Holtz. A Basic Grey metal brad was added next to the sentiment. The sentiment piece was adhered at the top of the card with foam adhesive.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, make sure you leave a comment each day for your chance to win some Unity. Thank you for hanging out with me for a bit!

See you again, tomorrow!
