It is forecasted to get to 69 degrees next week. I hope this doesn't mean we will be hit with snow and cold in April going into May. I have been reading other posts on social media and it appears that others are experiencing weird weather as well. I do have a winner from February's Hop. <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Denise Bryant</span>, you are the winner of my giveaway. Congratulations!

I feel so bad. I love the Inspired By challenges, but have not played in quite some time. It's a new year and I plan on playing more often. For this challenge I was inspired by the colors. The sketch is pretty cool too! I love this flower cart.

Her eyes say that she is living her best life. They also say that she just might know some dirty little secrets. She has so many stories to tell. She has seen so much. She is always looking forward to her next adventure. I have inked this beautiful lady before. She is from the November 2018 SMAK Kit, open your eyes. She has been put in a mini kit. I do not know the name of it, however. The sentiment is from one of us is right. It reads, "it's a beautiful day, think I'll skip my meds and stir things up a bit." Hilarious, right? The mini clip, paper ephemera, and feather are also freebies from the December 2023 Kit of the Month.<p></p></div><div>Thanks for your continued support. We love reading your comments each month.

I wasn't sure if I was going to take part in this hop because of us losing our beautiful girl, my best friend Charlee, a week ago today. She was an amazing girl. She was almost 13 1/2 years old. Boy do I miss her. It is so hard coming home from work and she's not there to greet me. I miss her companionship. I miss her wolf like appearance. I miss our adventures. But most of all, I miss her. She was my ride and die. She was also my crafting buddy. She would always try to get in my pictures as I took photos for our hops. Now, she is. I have included a picture of her in a few photos. These three cards along with her photo will be going to her doggie daycare, the veterinarian who cared for her in her last days, and the staff at the hospital who assisted in making her comfortable while we said good bye. They were so caring. We are so appreciative of their kind, supportive words during one of the most difficult times in our lives. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the graphic for this month's hop.

She is a huge stamp, 3.5" x 7". She is from a set called Eva. This set is a Donna Downey Studios and Unity Stamp Co. collab. Maybe, she is available on Donna's site, if you are interested. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To create this card, I used water color paper. I first inked a stencil with Tim Holtz Oxide ink pads. The stencil is from a Colorful Life Designs. It is called flower overlay. I then stamped Eva over the stenciled image. I colored her with Prima water color pencils. The water color piece was cut with a Gina Marie die. I stamped a sentiment at the bottom. The sentiment and hearts are from the April 2019 Sentiment Kit, don't give up. This, too, is a beautiful set of stamps.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, thanks for hopping with us.

I'm a little rusty, but I do like how this card turned out. The background scene stamp is called R.I.P. I stamped it on heavy weight white card stock. I cut it with an arch die by PhotoPlay. I used metallic pencils and colored pencils. Gamsol was used for blending. This stamp is perfect for Halloween. I love the zombie hands. I stamped the witches from the August 2023 Kit of the Month, phases, and cut them out. I placed one on each side of the card with foam adhesive. The sentiment, sisters of the moon, is also from the same Kit. I found a purple, bat grommet and placed it under the sentiment. I layered a metal bat over the metal grommet. I finished the card with pattern paper, glitter paper, and green bling.</p><p>Next up:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxFIdJ8Bgb22OxQ4I4jl7v6IhHLUxDmQ93rHnRGsIYItLcPzKN-eocjHSbZ9Eje4LBqoy4w-oYT4DvXoGyyZERF-K-jZmsYTd3Ak8XcJ4vmvwxNCxe53Mpq5LjkaBstZnVVs8FLVPqL70A3hN1DOGyJ2zlD6pBKg9t7xyaLSYPE9O22wB_JC5nRKRc7HL/s2448/WEKV6836%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxFIdJ8Bgb22OxQ4I4jl7v6IhHLUxDmQ93rHnRGsIYItLcPzKN-eocjHSbZ9Eje4LBqoy4w-oYT4DvXoGyyZERF-K-jZmsYTd3Ak8XcJ4vmvwxNCxe53Mpq5LjkaBstZnVVs8FLVPqL70A3hN1DOGyJ2zlD6pBKg9t7xyaLSYPE9O22wB_JC5nRKRc7HL/w400-h400/WEKV6836%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJCuEwwJHs6HAEil42IcIBAXcBM9GnVebRNXdx-LWP93gkRhUYBTDyENnPkkSW9lVIczZOPhT_93aFUTcimBockEJ2GEhHzU66zAA5nvVEyA1juoVBvSIUVKZ_tN-RjilSYa-B5U3oYAN38o5jydEOpjnphUbxagnuYCg3i7bMtheluQT6uQHoD58GrBX/s2448/IMG_E1535%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJCuEwwJHs6HAEil42IcIBAXcBM9GnVebRNXdx-LWP93gkRhUYBTDyENnPkkSW9lVIczZOPhT_93aFUTcimBockEJ2GEhHzU66zAA5nvVEyA1juoVBvSIUVKZ_tN-RjilSYa-B5U3oYAN38o5jydEOpjnphUbxagnuYCg3i7bMtheluQT6uQHoD58GrBX/w400-h400/IMG_E1535%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tKrqylspR9aE8AfBhCvpOyYbpBxo58hj2NNERPqJEU1rMkJrgcmH6q54Dv5Bni3qkehGzxdSFk-wBA_OKfMaLxUNJP-6NtASeR7haOeEQNn5trdL9vF5N__5Omwo0JJMKAoIazTpgGGguobDw2N1mmPiSnLrGLoB2HptcI-7zUmfnVnEuGCovvnwFOQK/s2448/IMG_E1534%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tKrqylspR9aE8AfBhCvpOyYbpBxo58hj2NNERPqJEU1rMkJrgcmH6q54Dv5Bni3qkehGzxdSFk-wBA_OKfMaLxUNJP-6NtASeR7haOeEQNn5trdL9vF5N__5Omwo0JJMKAoIazTpgGGguobDw2N1mmPiSnLrGLoB2HptcI-7zUmfnVnEuGCovvnwFOQK/w400-h400/IMG_E1534%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been wanting to stamp this beautiful image since it first came out. I am so slow in stamping. I shop so much faster than I create. This lovely image is from the August 2022 Kit of the Month, hope is stronger. This kit has so many beauties. In my defense, I have at least used a couple more stamps from this kit a little while back. This beauty was stamped on water color paper. I used several Karin Markers for coloring. Once I stamped the image, I cut it with a tag die, also from Unity. The encouraging sentiment is from the December 2021 Kit of the Month, smile wider laugh longer. I received the heart die cut as a freebie from Unity. I stamped the sentiment on heavy weight white card stock and cut it down to size. I placed a heart clip on it and applied using foam adhesive. Pattern paper was also used. I used the pinpoint fern background die by Gina Marie designs on both pieces of pattern paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, there is still more inspo.

Alcohol inks are my new obsession. I LOVE how this card turned out. I had so much fun moving all the inks around with the Tim Holtz alcohol ink blower. These are the inks I used: stream, butterscotch, and wild plum. I also used Tim Holtz alcohol blending solution. I also used Yupo paper by Ranger. </div><div><br /></div><div>This lotus is one of my favorite flowers Unity offers. It is from imperfection is beauty. This set was a collaboration between Unity and Donna Downey Studios. The beautiful sentiment is also from the same set. I used the Unity postage die on the Yupo panel. It was adhered to a white card base using foam adhesive. The lotus image is huge. I cut some of the stem off to make it work on my card. I colored the lotus with Karin markers. Since I placed the lotus at an angle, I thought it would be cool to do the same with the sentiment. Jewels were added last.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have not tried alcohol inks yet, do it. You will be obsessed! So many different color combinations. Please tag me on the Unity Show & Tell page with your alcohol ink creations.

She's laid back, ready for the next adventure, and into layered, colorful ensembles. My favorite color is green so I felt green needed to be a part of her outfit. I feel like Amelia and I could be best friends. The sentiment comes from the April 2022 KOM, true colors. Amelia and the sentiment were layered on 49 and Market acetate cut outs and a stenciled image I cut out. This leaf is huge.

This week has been so enjoyable. I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone and working on something I've had in mind for a little while. I hope I have inspired you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. If you have been thinking of something, just do it. You never know unless you try. Today I am sharing two note cards. When it's all done, it will be a set of 4 note cards. Check out the two completed cards here:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQDLHq72UHxg07J5QBXp3tqN-VmrjLO0ax6ZjPTB1cjC9-O2bSpUsIPNiL_bR1PyGaYVo_VdOlNcqcx10ot6dlQ0LcRZleOW7dCXSLtSoPLUHsXSrsZXAZTVcQMwPZ5X6-RTXbw6QKUSBiPMuVf1QZvOV6G6d3zYbYCmFxVtIeZ8F4mC8JL-gEjR4pD_W/s2448/IMG_E1052%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQDLHq72UHxg07J5QBXp3tqN-VmrjLO0ax6ZjPTB1cjC9-O2bSpUsIPNiL_bR1PyGaYVo_VdOlNcqcx10ot6dlQ0LcRZleOW7dCXSLtSoPLUHsXSrsZXAZTVcQMwPZ5X6-RTXbw6QKUSBiPMuVf1QZvOV6G6d3zYbYCmFxVtIeZ8F4mC8JL-gEjR4pD_W/w320-h320/IMG_E1052%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz9CCX7sltVLycu_al-zNrR7_D6jppxo2gGAPl0kwAwVEPqy8ZcWHryYNjm2msm5IHXZW7YjfeLNPBiM7z7zbOUmd74b4tujNbmwb7Oz--7qzWgSNkPa0PE-Oj13jI6GpmH43930F6gWfKSvy_3BwCznQgqWtEWFr5pWsDciVN854BIdCmikjua0dGVpvS/s2448/IMG_E1054%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz9CCX7sltVLycu_al-zNrR7_D6jppxo2gGAPl0kwAwVEPqy8ZcWHryYNjm2msm5IHXZW7YjfeLNPBiM7z7zbOUmd74b4tujNbmwb7Oz--7qzWgSNkPa0PE-Oj13jI6GpmH43930F6gWfKSvy_3BwCznQgqWtEWFr5pWsDciVN854BIdCmikjua0dGVpvS/s320/IMG_E1054%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLV3lKDoRF4uUtuIHk_9SLejbw3NQkS9XJpZucG3zEAT9FM78p4--lWsozW80rWwstwwhOfyanCZOEAZS8QkRK5UKWwIzN4qY7B2lD33ysiz1211-kHTJiQe6Oue_YReSDCFIqkSeJjfQeHIzoHhjFismeov7ZYF4BITY8e1BXguXeKCKbF8kzA8UWqkec/s2448/IMG_E1055%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLV3lKDoRF4uUtuIHk_9SLejbw3NQkS9XJpZucG3zEAT9FM78p4--lWsozW80rWwstwwhOfyanCZOEAZS8QkRK5UKWwIzN4qY7B2lD33ysiz1211-kHTJiQe6Oue_YReSDCFIqkSeJjfQeHIzoHhjFismeov7ZYF4BITY8e1BXguXeKCKbF8kzA8UWqkec/s320/IMG_E1055%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5f6F4WBxX0King2X1vxfW_7Us-du7EAkbNE3Z5Q5O9VmO8FuBe0H5vCgyJaGtKkCY5V7Vra38zYHXIq6hYeYZjNjCEI8TvExNGxuru3gWVmuffGsjuMOEPKfa1zIAMjTFobn7dljygMny22Qmh6pNIrHDRbtKhb8Cafr_fe2LaAfX7yLD6jxwuIVZK5-d/s2448/IMG_E1056%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5f6F4WBxX0King2X1vxfW_7Us-du7EAkbNE3Z5Q5O9VmO8FuBe0H5vCgyJaGtKkCY5V7Vra38zYHXIq6hYeYZjNjCEI8TvExNGxuru3gWVmuffGsjuMOEPKfa1zIAMjTFobn7dljygMny22Qmh6pNIrHDRbtKhb8Cafr_fe2LaAfX7yLD6jxwuIVZK5-d/s320/IMG_E1056%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIO1i2e7DeJPmm3xw3tYP8dKjpswNqzYdefPk5BixbYC7OjTh1FH84u_lXKQx_ljcGY_7KPPQ5ez2MHYGzpxDm03E9znoSjW4rha5uHhHgVPGg1IqGcUh6HxZfdQVYJzLgYh4b2rNPZaX2bAxy1DXCH6d2zwScnGYNmYjHPRZb_2m_30JhR9MLzojOFFs9/s2448/IMG_E1059%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIO1i2e7DeJPmm3xw3tYP8dKjpswNqzYdefPk5BixbYC7OjTh1FH84u_lXKQx_ljcGY_7KPPQ5ez2MHYGzpxDm03E9znoSjW4rha5uHhHgVPGg1IqGcUh6HxZfdQVYJzLgYh4b2rNPZaX2bAxy1DXCH6d2zwScnGYNmYjHPRZb_2m_30JhR9MLzojOFFs9/s320/IMG_E1059%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcEr626rftrVdDdapniMmmKADbXeg1QzWg0wq8wC5755f9HoHg2crXQ6kyvyhfsop-CA3yNzsWAifiXJkrcoSImwj1k73cBqwNy8jeBz7e6kwIyhEM7a0YgM8RWFR6bSvaU8gxqmt162UjpYhpdxevI-5uKv6NLl26t3e4_hdiSYEajcpoFawlCNl1v4dT/s2448/IMG_E1060%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcEr626rftrVdDdapniMmmKADbXeg1QzWg0wq8wC5755f9HoHg2crXQ6kyvyhfsop-CA3yNzsWAifiXJkrcoSImwj1k73cBqwNy8jeBz7e6kwIyhEM7a0YgM8RWFR6bSvaU8gxqmt162UjpYhpdxevI-5uKv6NLl26t3e4_hdiSYEajcpoFawlCNl1v4dT/s320/IMG_E1060%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>So I had these canvas pieces awaiting to be used in some shape or form. I was thinking that if I stamped them, they would be awesome on note cards. I took these four canvas pieces and applied heavy white gesso on them. I stamped a flower on the first one; a bird on the second; a fern on the third; and a butterfly on the fourth. I am trying to keep these cards simple, natural, and organic. Each one will have a heavy weight, white card stock base. The vintage ledger stamp will also be used on each card. </p><p>The first card features a sparrow stamp from the August 2020 SMAK Kit, you are my people. Lace was placed near the bottom of vintage ledger. The stamped canvas was glued down on vintage ledger. A Tim Holtz metal charm was placed on the canvas piece. The natural twine is also Unity. A small rectangular piece of ephemera was added last. The ephemera comes from the September 2022 Whit Kit, vintage naturalist.</p><p>The second card features a fern from the September 2022 Whit Kit. It was stamped on canvas. A tag from the same kit was placed over vintage ledger. Lace was applied near the bottom. The stamped canvas was glued down. This card was finished with a Tim Holtz metal charm and black twine from Unity.</p><p>I'll be sure to share the other 2 cards once they are done.</p><p>Well thank you for hanging with me all week! I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave comments. Thanks for an amazing week!

I knew I was going to use the beach babe and I really wanted to incorporate the tropical scene. I thought I was going to stamp the tropical scene at the top of the card, but as I was removing ink from the tropical scene stamp by stamping it over and over at the bottom of the beach babe, I saw something that looked pretty cool.

I used two stamp sets on this card. The sentiment and woman are from, look out beaches, by Jessica Pickeral. The tropical image is from a throwback Kit of the Month, June 2010, fly free. I have always loved this scene and 13 years later, it finally sees ink. That's a totally different subject, but long story short, I shop so much faster than I create.<div><br /></div><div>The card base is a heavy weight, white card stock. The images and sentiment were stamped on water color paper. The tropical scene was colored with Art Anthology sprays and some Prima water colors. She was colored with Prima water colors. Background was created using a Prima water color and an Art Anthology spray. Some jewels were added for a finishing touch.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for coming back!

Thanks for coming back and leaving generous comments. I so enjoy reading them. Thanks, too, for all the lovely comments on Facebook as well. I went with a border background stamp for today. The border background stamps at Unity are perfectly perfect for a quick card. This border background is called featherly from Angie Blom. I was thinking this stamp would be stunning on kraft, so I gave it a go. I am happy with the results. Now, I'll have to try it with water color on water color paper.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwjKN0IEXh7TJ92riFgrhV5fOft3oPDbWtsbiT3HAgJJo466qiROpEgR5ztT8TX4P2SFg2XNbKbB8WpSrF-cBwa6RSNnVst7Jckk0ct-iIhcxiMo_kX0N41OjWlHRhGEMuv6gAFdMHCsZld-s9O7mAGMs4jGQ-qTcQINx2RZEeDrtndME0dc8ItI3O68cT/s2448/IMG_E1040%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwjKN0IEXh7TJ92riFgrhV5fOft3oPDbWtsbiT3HAgJJo466qiROpEgR5ztT8TX4P2SFg2XNbKbB8WpSrF-cBwa6RSNnVst7Jckk0ct-iIhcxiMo_kX0N41OjWlHRhGEMuv6gAFdMHCsZld-s9O7mAGMs4jGQ-qTcQINx2RZEeDrtndME0dc8ItI3O68cT/w400-h400/IMG_E1040%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAI1toaEH5ExRDs_dS64FMoGhcNHWWGXzzH7VLbjwWYghBDmuNqmAXb7BXi2gHVjbGEdXa5HDDfHfst7Uv8LHMGhd0InSRsw5ig82xK8iXihxFMGlTLbOalabptmRW0_O4tdi-2aWv6EXYd1qVtTK8GvZNoFmymG4VN2k65tiUOv65GKqkAV4wsjHa9i6/s2448/IMG_E1039%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAI1toaEH5ExRDs_dS64FMoGhcNHWWGXzzH7VLbjwWYghBDmuNqmAXb7BXi2gHVjbGEdXa5HDDfHfst7Uv8LHMGhd0InSRsw5ig82xK8iXihxFMGlTLbOalabptmRW0_O4tdi-2aWv6EXYd1qVtTK8GvZNoFmymG4VN2k65tiUOv65GKqkAV4wsjHa9i6/w400-h400/IMG_E1039%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhztdTEu9c3BoxGqVGEVFL0f3XACgsdTSiU0Ci3EUsXmljN0qG5YB29R_6vm7RtpyQtdkH6j3aXgcq5xJ8T4nbe9J8tZbbwyBemVukrwpWi5b35vsGhOJp_2RyvgipR0Kwat-QVYl-Ev-h9s4OBSWg_4krtNdCR5Q42Yl3WPP35wbvG5FOaUsRIfQPFrx3W/s2448/IMG_E1041%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhztdTEu9c3BoxGqVGEVFL0f3XACgsdTSiU0Ci3EUsXmljN0qG5YB29R_6vm7RtpyQtdkH6j3aXgcq5xJ8T4nbe9J8tZbbwyBemVukrwpWi5b35vsGhOJp_2RyvgipR0Kwat-QVYl-Ev-h9s4OBSWg_4krtNdCR5Q42Yl3WPP35wbvG5FOaUsRIfQPFrx3W/w400-h400/IMG_E1041%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used three colored pencils and blended them with Gamsol.

Ha ha! I cut the sentiment piece with a Gina Marie mini slimline die. I cut off the decorative edges, but still have the stitching. This piece was placed onto the kraft with foam adhesive as well. To complete this card, I added a metal bird embellie and a few sparkly jewels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's it for me today.

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.<br /><p>If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

They were layered on each other using foam adhesive. </p><p>The large floral is from Birthday Blooms (Sandhya Iyer). I stamped it on water color paper by way of my MISTI. The coordinating die was used to cut it out. I just received the die last week. Perfect timing! Zig Markers were used for water coloring. The flower was placed over Prima sky blue wax cord and a couple of Pink Fresh die cuts. The sentiment, two became one, was stamped on a Prima ticket. I cut the sides of the ticket, just a little, and rounded the corners. I just could not cover up this gorgeous floral, so I selected a small sentiment. It was added under the flower with foam adhesive. The sentiment is from, love is a magical thing (Lisa Arana). This set is perfect for wedding and anniversary cards. It is a November 2015 Sentiment Kit. A My Minds Eye metal brad was placed next to the sentiment.</p><p>If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. </p><p>If you are not familiar with Growing in Unity, make sure you leave a comment for a chance to win some Unity.

Prima water colors were used. The verse is from, my heart trusts, which is another beautiful set of stamps from Unity. The card was completed by die cutting the image. The postage stamp die is also Unity. This piece was layered on another die cut. A metal floral brad, a chipboard circle, and lace were the final touches. If you don't have this image in your collection, I highly recommend it. It is a dream to color.</div><div><br /></div><div>Next up is a plain navy blue journal cover I altered:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLjRrKoJ-IHn2PPCvXlM1Su-krptpoA4rwlp-3btXs3Vw1YQmR_0h4dbQqrkqIuOHp-ATbREXu_F-gznbB0SH-40HSVzV5VfK5jVGiZuFE4scyHDiSiqchwhaGDpnWvShqe4c_VAYA_ChUoJRN_l9o3SgAtKWKLhC3a39o_FhCc037_twBEL0yhRvw-eN/s2448/FIVS1129%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLjRrKoJ-IHn2PPCvXlM1Su-krptpoA4rwlp-3btXs3Vw1YQmR_0h4dbQqrkqIuOHp-ATbREXu_F-gznbB0SH-40HSVzV5VfK5jVGiZuFE4scyHDiSiqchwhaGDpnWvShqe4c_VAYA_ChUoJRN_l9o3SgAtKWKLhC3a39o_FhCc037_twBEL0yhRvw-eN/w400-h400/FIVS1129%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpFy-eiX_zso1S4QRZDDpcE3noJrkNOrxDF1UApzreP462ef543RUZw-fBHW4nGk5Xfp8hsJDZnn974Cl9Ye0XIPpngEqV3QsR1gohoq5jROOYpU6-rJ638e6ZL8hY2MDnsMG9ZzYVZ9U19Qy4jADGFnGmmTyK2B5Deu3N_bv2tuvEGmp3ynw67MCi1AV/s2448/IMG_E0990%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpFy-eiX_zso1S4QRZDDpcE3noJrkNOrxDF1UApzreP462ef543RUZw-fBHW4nGk5Xfp8hsJDZnn974Cl9Ye0XIPpngEqV3QsR1gohoq5jROOYpU6-rJ638e6ZL8hY2MDnsMG9ZzYVZ9U19Qy4jADGFnGmmTyK2B5Deu3N_bv2tuvEGmp3ynw67MCi1AV/w400-h400/IMG_E0990%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAwn-ZC8dcYZrHJkA-hBsmcMjwiSEynPG7yXkLQNhlZUybTM7-pExDy9WOxyB9Ms5eecNDSWXy3vClPk2WipJ75VKNLcrOxOhnv7yi1mCYK3VBX7EHsMnQTW5zfrSpP9bdeDYQ34YbJc3R9A2NjkXWFaN5dlukiLFgGz3vIXlPfpyALYAvuz701-wn-hn/s2448/IMG_E0989%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAwn-ZC8dcYZrHJkA-hBsmcMjwiSEynPG7yXkLQNhlZUybTM7-pExDy9WOxyB9Ms5eecNDSWXy3vClPk2WipJ75VKNLcrOxOhnv7yi1mCYK3VBX7EHsMnQTW5zfrSpP9bdeDYQ34YbJc3R9A2NjkXWFaN5dlukiLFgGz3vIXlPfpyALYAvuz701-wn-hn/w400-h400/IMG_E0989%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>This stamp is huge, perfect to adorn journals. It comes from the set, Blooming Peonies. This kit is another must have in your stamping arsenal. I prepped the journal cover with a super heavy gesso, let it dry overnight and then stamped it. I used Karin markers and one Zig marker. The sentiment is from the September 2017 SMAK Kit called truest life. I really miss this membership. Maybe Unity will come out with something similar one day. A girl can wish, right? I really love how this journal cover came out. I'm in love with the color palette. It's quite soothing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, I have another card:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRRe9NQGJiPQuppSQNeHHKIzhelMzFbN4fzJigxqKY27FzMGVXY69Zhyac97S340Lgb_jrAXwKsjLj3wwd-X0ab8GD0R1zEV2JJbbI3tblwcoQErqbI0Sg_N4MOovMI8G1fbFgsuse6ao26aeREHQuuic3opcx97PWkK4uLwdefM41_2L2Lda3BMv9glZs/s2448/SALS8378%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRRe9NQGJiPQuppSQNeHHKIzhelMzFbN4fzJigxqKY27FzMGVXY69Zhyac97S340Lgb_jrAXwKsjLj3wwd-X0ab8GD0R1zEV2JJbbI3tblwcoQErqbI0Sg_N4MOovMI8G1fbFgsuse6ao26aeREHQuuic3opcx97PWkK4uLwdefM41_2L2Lda3BMv9glZs/w400-h400/SALS8378%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExgh87oLnXlE-4Hx03tT-HK9AAPT_4cUxtRiaYDybBiBeQJktzrltmIdYyECED_HvWEjEnknhgglSVM2u0y6bSknoQPyJb8_AzLPdaKtwQA84wtiORFMPlE5oq4kCXYTP6q0k_fiy6rHf7lai38NUb7ub6UPLq8TmtjmDSDe_FBiekFzrzj-q5y20D80D/s2448/IMG_E1008%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExgh87oLnXlE-4Hx03tT-HK9AAPT_4cUxtRiaYDybBiBeQJktzrltmIdYyECED_HvWEjEnknhgglSVM2u0y6bSknoQPyJb8_AzLPdaKtwQA84wtiORFMPlE5oq4kCXYTP6q0k_fiy6rHf7lai38NUb7ub6UPLq8TmtjmDSDe_FBiekFzrzj-q5y20D80D/w400-h400/IMG_E1008%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtmlG7pUdIaW_jYxdSR8QXk9o5gQPv-m_vvLqHwUJ32j3RCGWxTBDCkF05M6IE8u65FU-sLgLF80KBF9nV-QlbJyITUafUXgerV_zPfMN0zCCwgS-XAE2uB3-ADNZQdTrMv4kK9pJCn7nUSbfEUss43JMvcdLK051wLBeXR9YR1lPVsuBaHzau9NRFL_v/s2448/IMG_E1017%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtmlG7pUdIaW_jYxdSR8QXk9o5gQPv-m_vvLqHwUJ32j3RCGWxTBDCkF05M6IE8u65FU-sLgLF80KBF9nV-QlbJyITUafUXgerV_zPfMN0zCCwgS-XAE2uB3-ADNZQdTrMv4kK9pJCn7nUSbfEUss43JMvcdLK051wLBeXR9YR1lPVsuBaHzau9NRFL_v/w400-h400/IMG_E1017%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>This one did not turn out like I had hoped. I'm thinking I should've used a different background stamp instead of the wonky stripes. Or maybe have added some color to the embossed butterflies. But, it'll have to do for now. This pretty stamp image is from Layers of Life, embrace today, March 2018. I love everything about this stamp, the flower, honeycomb, and butterflies. I tried to play up the butterflies with a butterfly embossing folder from Stampin' Up. A crafting goal of mine is to use embossing folders more. They add amazing texture. The image was stamped on water color paper and colored with Karin markers. The sweet sentiment is from the May 2021 Kit of the Month, summer vibes. It just so happens that this kit of the month is on sale. Hint, Hint, you need it in your life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for hopping with us.

The sentiment is not from a kit. Several years ago, Unity offered individual sentiments in a sale. This sentiment was an add on to Take No Bull if I remember correctly.

First, the background was created using all the stamps from Woodland Layers. Second, is Forrest Guy. Finally, the sentiment is from Happy Retirement along with the coordinating die. I used colored pencils and Gamsol on the sky and lake. Forrest Guy was colored with Prima water color pencils. The die cut with the mountains and sentiment is from Pink Paislee. I think Unity should make something similar into a stamp. Hint! Hint!<p></p><p>Well, I'm the last stop in the hop, but if you need the order again, here it is:</p><p><a href="https://crystalominkler.blogspot.com/2023/06/friends-of-unity-june-2023-blog-hop.html">Crystal</a></p><p><a href="https://foreverambersart.blogspot.com/2023/06/friends-of-unity-blog-hop-man-card.html">Amber</a></p><p><a href="https://mykraftkloset.weebly.com/blog/friends-of-unity-masculine-blog-hop-giveaways1535307">Kim</a></p><p><a href="https://janembosi.blogspot.com/2023/06/friends-of-unity-blog-hop-june-2023.html">Jane</a></p><p><a href="https://tammyhcreates.blogspot.com/2023/06/friends-of-unity-june-2023-blog-post.html">Tammy</a></p><p><a href="https://irishrosecreations.blog/friends-of-unity-june-blog-hop-masculine-theme/">Colleen</a></p><p><a href="https://www.two38creations.com/2023/06/friends-of-unity-blog-hop-june-2023.html">Bobbie Sue</a></p><p><a href="https://myinkrediblelifecom.wordpress.com/2023/06/03/june-2023-fou-blog-hop/">April</a></p><p><a href="https://findingpeacestamper.home.blog/2023/06/03/the-friends-of-unity-blog-hop-june-2023/">Rachel</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://neatnook.blogspot.com/2023/06/june-2023-friends-of-unity-blog-hop.html">Gaylynn</a><p></p><p>Thank you so much for visiting all our blogs.

Their stamps were perfect for what I had in mind. I used so many sets, that they are too many to list here. If you see a sentiment or two that you really like,, just ask me, and I will happily let you know which set it is from. This lovely wood container is filled with so much inspiration. I used a lot of the tags Unity sends out as free gifts and cut them down to size. I also used these really large tags from Ranger. They were cut down to size as well. And of course, I used pattern paper, too, because you know I love my pattern paper. I was thinking that the recipient could jot down aspirations, hopes, fears, doubts, dreams, and or ideas. </div><div><br /></div><div>The next group of pictures highlight some of my favorites.

I cannot believe it is a new year already. Where does the time go? I'm looking at my Unity Stamp Collection, thinking, wow, I have way too many stamps that have not seen ink. This year I plan on inking these babies up. This is not a New Year's resolution. I don't make New Year's resolutions. I don't believe in setting myself up for failure. Lol. But, honestly, I really need to do something about this situation. OK, let's get to our cue...birthdays. So fun. As I am typing this, I have so many ideas running through my head. I can't wait to see what comes to fruition.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgh5wVUYspv7fiuy4q6BH09Zhl3gX0DnOVNxZiopg3reOzJ1pn8gF9KmAwXME-FccRvmGj8YcF7c3iL6z05-HzDABLrtERcBhK4PS3rhil5PCuh8bKeX7eJg_bvj5UO1u9RQcPmACIiPpU6YO_JvDmwH80QZ-pBt_i7eR5EfPFApeF5qCCOgczcChnF2Q" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgh5wVUYspv7fiuy4q6BH09Zhl3gX0DnOVNxZiopg3reOzJ1pn8gF9KmAwXME-FccRvmGj8YcF7c3iL6z05-HzDABLrtERcBhK4PS3rhil5PCuh8bKeX7eJg_bvj5UO1u9RQcPmACIiPpU6YO_JvDmwH80QZ-pBt_i7eR5EfPFApeF5qCCOgczcChnF2Q=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I decided to use some sass on my cards.

I never met Pat in person. I wish we had. She just so happened to stumble upon my ETSY shop about 10 years ago. She was my biggest cheerleader. She was a sweet soul, with a big heart. She was always so supportive of my art. She especially loved my cards featuring Angie Girls. I know she would have loved this one. </div><div><br /></div><div>This Angie Girl is so full of hope and dreams. She is from the November 2021 Kit of the Month, kinda sorta love ya. This kit is a must have; so many beautiful stamps. The images are of generous size, too. The large snowflake and sentiment are also from the same kit. The other snowflake is from the December 2014 Kit of the Month, Warmth of winter. This is another beautiful kit with another Angie girl, too! I stamped the images and sentiment on water color paper. I colored the snowflakes with Prima's Shimmering Lights water colors. Girl was colored with Prima's hair and skin tones water color pencils. Sentiment was stamped in a Tim Holtz Distress Oxide I paper pieced her dress with some sparkly paper. I received the green bow as part of a free gift with one of my Unity orders. I didn't have any snowflake stickers, but I had these jeweled star stickers. They definitely add even more shine.</div><div><br /></div><div>Card #2:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpyb3DyX5ilxsEUIFpjZhTyfitSmhLty4FEwtuT1zu_s1tUPBZ8L5iPtTjSy23aaNtit3rijR6RvAys55d2z942wUM-iyi-4gQrctLBh0LzT74wyCv9d0IxHoVIihYGGOEitrhDs3QCA9i0WWkmXj7lx9dhZ04cZsOivPE5IwqDjfa0mZ4rM6yABNTw/s2448/MLPD3766%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpyb3DyX5ilxsEUIFpjZhTyfitSmhLty4FEwtuT1zu_s1tUPBZ8L5iPtTjSy23aaNtit3rijR6RvAys55d2z942wUM-iyi-4gQrctLBh0LzT74wyCv9d0IxHoVIihYGGOEitrhDs3QCA9i0WWkmXj7lx9dhZ04cZsOivPE5IwqDjfa0mZ4rM6yABNTw/w400-h400/MLPD3766%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBDZ95Y5ZJZg7YO9FNY2aUZ16tUckkLjDaYoDNL1H4Ge1CIu0xVfcZzMpnzjw8bBWHWF5Z8HI-U3i4Ppk4gzeyJghpfj4m_t4c_aO629BuPUv1mq47YhaN6BsBBPLR9rMkf5kibYtxXVe3V22X-Q9Q4VKnZZWkSHSW_v-fEpFgYnjklNOdKMU--jBrw/s2448/IMG_E0182%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBDZ95Y5ZJZg7YO9FNY2aUZ16tUckkLjDaYoDNL1H4Ge1CIu0xVfcZzMpnzjw8bBWHWF5Z8HI-U3i4Ppk4gzeyJghpfj4m_t4c_aO629BuPUv1mq47YhaN6BsBBPLR9rMkf5kibYtxXVe3V22X-Q9Q4VKnZZWkSHSW_v-fEpFgYnjklNOdKMU--jBrw/w400-h400/IMG_E0182%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3-9MTI6xaf02gowSJwV-cme3F8-3K3SbmNpu19i0ZiiJt4etDBGSXQo9qRm6pXFNRkK0badoa8D_CSt13pNqLHeOMHiKquwy0vrX18Jvty_qpiKEQMAPsza2ORfp9mmlRB6zI8_9W7hEFdlUbcI603Tjm6-9mjeIecXLQtE1jhQ7oRIsL6h2LzGDvA/s2448/IMG_E0183%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3-9MTI6xaf02gowSJwV-cme3F8-3K3SbmNpu19i0ZiiJt4etDBGSXQo9qRm6pXFNRkK0badoa8D_CSt13pNqLHeOMHiKquwy0vrX18Jvty_qpiKEQMAPsza2ORfp9mmlRB6zI8_9W7hEFdlUbcI603Tjm6-9mjeIecXLQtE1jhQ7oRIsL6h2LzGDvA/w400-h400/IMG_E0183%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>I had another design in mind for this card, but I am so glad I decided to create an ornament with this evergreen branch from Unity and Graciellie Designs Winter Blessings kit.

I dipped a water color brush into the ink and spread it around over the evergreen branches. I then added silver glitter. Red bow was part of same free gift as the green bow on the girl's dress.

This is a gorgeous kit. I can't wait to use the florals from this kit. The sentiment is from the October 2020 SMAK Kit, the best memories. The postage stamp die and jewels are also Unity. Watercolors used are from the Prima Woodlands palette. The yellow wax cord is also Prima. Flower was cut from pattern paper using a Tim Holtz die. I had cut this flower some time ago for another card, but never used it. I think it's perfect on this card. </p><p>This card came together rather quickly. I first used the postage stamp die on watercolor paper. I then stamped the hummingbird. I colored the bird with several colors from the Woodlands palette. I then created a watercolor wash background using several colors from the same palette. The sentiment was stamped and jewels added. I wasn't pleased and decided to walk away. I came back the next day and added the wax cord along with the die cut flower. Now it has my approval. Ha!</p><p>Thanks for hopping with us!

I bought it to use in my art journal. Then this past week I saw this wonderful card by Julissa Sargo. She used a Unity stamp within a stencil and let me tell you; it is gorgeous. So the wheels start turning in my head and bam, an altered journal. Thank you Julissa for the inspiration. Sentiment, row of circles, and vine stamps are from the March 2021 Kit of the Month, hope to be. Flower stamp is from the February 2022 Kit of the Month, kind souls. Vellum plant ephemera was layered over flower stamp and stencil. I received this ephemera as a freebie in a Unity order. I placed an acetate butterfly over a wood butterfly and layered it over the ephemera.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is my second project:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9lYu2abHkXhFycM-Nnf_PHv_WQeMeK84Cwpqlq87QnoQ3CygGo0ykiSf8hgIR0DECBBpMQrwI4mK4xszfPwjWgVm5E0befjvbEbBwmc00rPC-JebySlBV6oaOB-YOxbzvAxX-t3RzIFzPe46aT1ASIQOWqPX2JG6JGLQ1hxn1p7CAbZG7sEUZ94ezQ/s2448/SFUC8038%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9lYu2abHkXhFycM-Nnf_PHv_WQeMeK84Cwpqlq87QnoQ3CygGo0ykiSf8hgIR0DECBBpMQrwI4mK4xszfPwjWgVm5E0befjvbEbBwmc00rPC-JebySlBV6oaOB-YOxbzvAxX-t3RzIFzPe46aT1ASIQOWqPX2JG6JGLQ1hxn1p7CAbZG7sEUZ94ezQ/w400-h400/SFUC8038%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8jt_NNwI0gmqVpBZleFKLwoA2zn-toWub3ai4wEfma6Jlpe6RKEEGk_RCdLt311m1_GDTgC3cw16PIFGhzi9TKQPWPJM8gmSeywwN7EdkRdzDLORgolYJrJk2PpYkYSlarV63YkZocG5Ph3wWOs93zmUnlDalucTafH7DpWH0vPNRgDH0eyTLF38GA/s2448/IMG_E0019%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8jt_NNwI0gmqVpBZleFKLwoA2zn-toWub3ai4wEfma6Jlpe6RKEEGk_RCdLt311m1_GDTgC3cw16PIFGhzi9TKQPWPJM8gmSeywwN7EdkRdzDLORgolYJrJk2PpYkYSlarV63YkZocG5Ph3wWOs93zmUnlDalucTafH7DpWH0vPNRgDH0eyTLF38GA/w400-h400/IMG_E0019%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsGAq-mCJYErSwBVFAeIgKPNByOXmEzoKqDw4HA52D0UojgvU9q6hTMXYJD_gezfn0O8u6qS2E_yiQBvnrmFLnY09066ow4rtxvEUZPxC-ehOv0fgCJAaSQvTIMx5ISzjWLYDtDO5wrxNPL5pguqF8EmN-wDNy9E5grihw6YDY7R1ymC4A1_xJ-58sw/s2448/IMG_E0021%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsGAq-mCJYErSwBVFAeIgKPNByOXmEzoKqDw4HA52D0UojgvU9q6hTMXYJD_gezfn0O8u6qS2E_yiQBvnrmFLnY09066ow4rtxvEUZPxC-ehOv0fgCJAaSQvTIMx5ISzjWLYDtDO5wrxNPL5pguqF8EmN-wDNy9E5grihw6YDY7R1ymC4A1_xJ-58sw/w400-h400/IMG_E0021%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWIANw4TKHkPHAbBH9ZAz7jQ0YCL5nSRcOeKjExpeMwv-QLwoKO2Om4kqnGh5FDVCXEjHFuEdJKQd0T_e4IGlxVFAXqbkOAg-c7360lT3Ikz2XRn_4qum912ARSxVBPjNuxXn1mYX_IKAiDaQsoMalKTyFf3MBgSmdYo_zkhWafsRqEIVpAd9KMP7JZg/s2448/IMG_E0018%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWIANw4TKHkPHAbBH9ZAz7jQ0YCL5nSRcOeKjExpeMwv-QLwoKO2Om4kqnGh5FDVCXEjHFuEdJKQd0T_e4IGlxVFAXqbkOAg-c7360lT3Ikz2XRn_4qum912ARSxVBPjNuxXn1mYX_IKAiDaQsoMalKTyFf3MBgSmdYo_zkhWafsRqEIVpAd9KMP7JZg/w400-h400/IMG_E0018%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Long story short on how this tag came to fruition. I wanted to make a yellow file folder pretty. I took out my gelli plate and used the above paints and this gorgeous stamp, sakura. Folder did not turn out pretty. Instead of totally scrapping it, I cut out the flower and placed on a tag I received as a freebie from Unity. The tag was stamped with a grungy image from the April 2020 SMAK Kit, head up, my firiend. I blended several distress inks over it. Foam adhesive was added to the sakura stamp. I then layered some Prima ephemera and finished tag off with some Prima bling. Initially, I wasn't sure if I liked this tag, but something keeps drawing me to it. I just keep going into my craft space and looking at this tag. It has definitely grown on me. I have decided that not only do I like this tag, I actually love it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next time we meet, northeast Ohio probably will have had its first snow.

I placed it in my Misti and stamped the image several times. Well, when I went to ink the stamp one time, I accidentally inked my image directly with my ink pad. Oh no! Crap! That's why the square is above the coffee cup. I decided that I liked my gell print too much to scrap it, so I worked with it. I cut the stamped, gell print with a stitched circle die. I think it turned out ok. I'm not happy with it, but it works. To create the gelli print, I used a couple different paints and spread them with my brayer. I then placed my Maker Forte Stencil Vansi Makes Swirl Art Marks on plate. I squeezed some white and pink paint over the stencil and spread with brayer. I let it dry overnight. The next day I stamped the image from a past Layers of Life, Revive December 2018. It is such a cool image. The sentiment is from the January 2022 Kit of the Month, found in the heart.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well friends, I need to get some rest so I can enjoy my day.

But for me, taking a mental health day or self-care day is a holiday. Check it, on a couch day you don't have any commitments, deadlines, places to be, things to do or people to see. You are straight up...just chillin'. So technically, a couch day does fall under the category of holiday. It's a free day to do as you please. Plus, I have been dying to use these two stamps together ever since this kit came out in April 2022. The sentiment and couch scene are both from the April 2022 Kit of the Month, true colors. I can't wait to play with more stamps from this kit, i.e., paint brush and owl.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCfNU1DwhtIRtePlTd6YCQELw_y2FHbnlN4OoiQecEXcNWtL15N3gOgdcCrBGStCn93o7UQKHDUa1JE8zdAOQjgERGWTYUkBKQCytc328_6cHnu2Bi5SWJzlWJBaFmT6DFtF2-kw8J8wNyZfSNIeayVICB-XTsuxp_aLZsLDQxQtKsw9LB9JV5n5iPTg/s2448/GZTJ0502%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCfNU1DwhtIRtePlTd6YCQELw_y2FHbnlN4OoiQecEXcNWtL15N3gOgdcCrBGStCn93o7UQKHDUa1JE8zdAOQjgERGWTYUkBKQCytc328_6cHnu2Bi5SWJzlWJBaFmT6DFtF2-kw8J8wNyZfSNIeayVICB-XTsuxp_aLZsLDQxQtKsw9LB9JV5n5iPTg/w400-h400/GZTJ0502%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxNjr7-vr78WASxlVtkso7lEHijqIXVYTiXfi0Ho6ELQXZI24SmYnUgQ4nn1nkWIZCJ2UYmoKlS5wN4d-0zTPs3agAgZ3g4jliyxrH1zNyvPNsKjitMsnsuoBWVqyIdBEBGSf_mOXxQ0m0WY01tEja5w_8DlY7u1WqBOG8Xwe9ZEqWr9wkqciNuQdTg/s2448/IMG_9828%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxNjr7-vr78WASxlVtkso7lEHijqIXVYTiXfi0Ho6ELQXZI24SmYnUgQ4nn1nkWIZCJ2UYmoKlS5wN4d-0zTPs3agAgZ3g4jliyxrH1zNyvPNsKjitMsnsuoBWVqyIdBEBGSf_mOXxQ0m0WY01tEja5w_8DlY7u1WqBOG8Xwe9ZEqWr9wkqciNuQdTg/w400-h400/IMG_9828%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Llr5nXLJnUp_W6hIL-Tjj2jMIgBNT8w4JDggm-ZfBSnVMqvFyi0sw-t8pY1XVchmwEwZG5T9lyiCUoQl8PGaTvqQ0q0Q10MhRM0ZSQ-3hAm1DF6EIyes0wuyNEp441JhQU2caKKuJhRfkNNWy7KVHMI2j_cnlcMYSdUVNv_rT3lD8Bl1YA2f_Pg-Ug/s2448/IMG_9829%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Llr5nXLJnUp_W6hIL-Tjj2jMIgBNT8w4JDggm-ZfBSnVMqvFyi0sw-t8pY1XVchmwEwZG5T9lyiCUoQl8PGaTvqQ0q0Q10MhRM0ZSQ-3hAm1DF6EIyes0wuyNEp441JhQU2caKKuJhRfkNNWy7KVHMI2j_cnlcMYSdUVNv_rT3lD8Bl1YA2f_Pg-Ug/w400-h400/IMG_9829%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>This card is in honor of all those who have served or are serving to protect this country we love and call home. It's perfect for Veterans Day. Three Unity stamps were used on this card. First, the heart is from Ragged ol' Flag; sentiment is from Amber Girl; and unfortunately I do not remember which set the row of stars is from. I'm still looking and hoping to have the name of the kit, by the time I share on the Unity Show & Tell page. For this card, I also used a couple of freebies from Unity, gray tag and pattern paper the sentiment is stamped on.<div><br /></div><div>I am giving away a prize this month. Up for grabs is Celeste Girl.

I think they are so dainty and darling. The gorgeous flower is from the July 2020 Whit Kit, friends are like flowers. I also used the coordinating die. The sentiment is from linen flowers. I thought what I used was a stencil but it's actually a mask. Can someone please tell me the difference between a mask and a stencil? I did Google it, but I need a better explantion. Lol. Anywho, this fun mask is from the Studio Light Just Lou Butterfly Collection. The mint paste is from Picket Fence and the gold paint is Prima. I recently purchased a few sets of Karin markers. I absolutely LOVE them. The square frame die is Gina Marie.<p></p><p>Next card:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Vw6aJydSST2-ZGrPUHI1oclLUb6Wup7GxJL83f44GYJ842LHruJbzvxpJaxHSBNhEQcuPTBELubtDjGKPZWwBGnT94dFQbZgFyBJb18lrGAI4piExOxURiZK-y77uAzBTALC4NAaz2BkU4SIB3h-oCZ8tWi-nsgarY7VLxkfz7gMRyPuyL0XEkh5jA/s2448/QYIK9497%5B1%5D.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Vw6aJydSST2-ZGrPUHI1oclLUb6Wup7GxJL83f44GYJ842LHruJbzvxpJaxHSBNhEQcuPTBELubtDjGKPZWwBGnT94dFQbZgFyBJb18lrGAI4piExOxURiZK-y77uAzBTALC4NAaz2BkU4SIB3h-oCZ8tWi-nsgarY7VLxkfz7gMRyPuyL0XEkh5jA/w400-h400/QYIK9497%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwxsDKPhC0bfpSOy543LDbGbZDaYUt5TDOUsgtcfC57IS_BtVxvRv5wVmNEetDyOWID1qXepq12R86jLlkMfJDjaT7TpYsiQomVu60leGijvKPaomOnD6CY-WvW60yh_IAvaXN0xILaIX3XpCjVhHkslYtRXUIYrTRALlQcG22dkckX1Opqq6EwTsnA/s2448/IMG_9706%5B1%5D.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwxsDKPhC0bfpSOy543LDbGbZDaYUt5TDOUsgtcfC57IS_BtVxvRv5wVmNEetDyOWID1qXepq12R86jLlkMfJDjaT7TpYsiQomVu60leGijvKPaomOnD6CY-WvW60yh_IAvaXN0xILaIX3XpCjVhHkslYtRXUIYrTRALlQcG22dkckX1Opqq6EwTsnA/w400-h400/IMG_9706%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iVNwK1du1wJRmrQRc8J7dHA39fX-Eal5svOp45990WxRiztbeOIKeeYcK6DeioI_IzXMrW5rttU_FiqlUEFJkh8WC6Ik1Nh-Zgmt1lMN8FAerTImeJklS85Te7xc0L1haMwKpMv1-jFNGBtDj5bwCZEg90GWA8hAtJKWSwFMuP42ulsVjHB3ZXsiTw/s2448/IMG_9707%5B1%5D.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iVNwK1du1wJRmrQRc8J7dHA39fX-Eal5svOp45990WxRiztbeOIKeeYcK6DeioI_IzXMrW5rttU_FiqlUEFJkh8WC6Ik1Nh-Zgmt1lMN8FAerTImeJklS85Te7xc0L1haMwKpMv1-jFNGBtDj5bwCZEg90GWA8hAtJKWSwFMuP42ulsVjHB3ZXsiTw/w400-h400/IMG_9707%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I have always loved this girl from Remember Me. Looks like she's going places...faraway places. The sentiment, have a nice journey, is from the February 2012 Kit of the Month, lucky to have you. Tim Holtz distress ink was used on the Tim Holtz Traveler stencil for this card. The x stitched die is from Kat Scrappiness. Ephemera and chipboard plane are Simple Stories. I colored the girl with Prima water color pencils. </p><p>Here is the hop order again. I don't want you to miss anyone.

The lined paper is from jot it down background. The background stamp inked in spiced marmalade is called around we go. This is an awesome background stamp I acquired in the swap. The sentiment at the bottom of the card was cut from pattern paper. I really love how this card came together. This card is perfect for his birthday, retirement, and more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Card #3:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1p7zPuHeKvESixMLvKzRp3pDDNFGt9waTn6LRkeJNaxVibgmrJhmbxEpZtxHEagrTnSSSsrag9g_USoTRn8ru1DjlwqMPM4xKXuXTVJSvD8Ml8zUDhYnd2psqhYWpkEWAm1bUd3uCYAhOoeKwm7z429raUBxBusOIa5OITQJT1zN4OtpbrUZ0c9Vlug/s2448/KCBN0297%5B1%5D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1p7zPuHeKvESixMLvKzRp3pDDNFGt9waTn6LRkeJNaxVibgmrJhmbxEpZtxHEagrTnSSSsrag9g_USoTRn8ru1DjlwqMPM4xKXuXTVJSvD8Ml8zUDhYnd2psqhYWpkEWAm1bUd3uCYAhOoeKwm7z429raUBxBusOIa5OITQJT1zN4OtpbrUZ0c9Vlug/w400-h400/KCBN0297%5B1%5D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9u2-VU9QgYaJyKQAbekrUvDgA-ky4OOqJYW9el2VQ3sxoM040gxgl2XYAdMwLC1nt6L-6L_isdRkmaL8iPO1Fyj3fa64EJWv44d76d-Qmu8HhUXYAGO5o_dtT37Yul5gFhq91GkE7TcQRBbz-uhVrDysqb3YR8At6Ra21EqT4ySoS5Jr8FHXqjjYJdA/s2448/IMG_9569%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9u2-VU9QgYaJyKQAbekrUvDgA-ky4OOqJYW9el2VQ3sxoM040gxgl2XYAdMwLC1nt6L-6L_isdRkmaL8iPO1Fyj3fa64EJWv44d76d-Qmu8HhUXYAGO5o_dtT37Yul5gFhq91GkE7TcQRBbz-uhVrDysqb3YR8At6Ra21EqT4ySoS5Jr8FHXqjjYJdA/w400-h400/IMG_9569%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwpP4qIhljUENsShc-qBB5f8jfwuds06AJ_UMkyiwDM1e9DuWhSL5D3NJwv-qSL2yuV0WYj4_0snRMgMTdnof3x1CUff2aFOfI5IWX1N4B3Akw2LrNEsIYmyuTSV01cgFVOQOW0_MukbrYxxPowJXnxmbpuw78OJFWU1evBVL3zsiouemg5H4E5qPhg/s2448/IMG_E9574%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwpP4qIhljUENsShc-qBB5f8jfwuds06AJ_UMkyiwDM1e9DuWhSL5D3NJwv-qSL2yuV0WYj4_0snRMgMTdnof3x1CUff2aFOfI5IWX1N4B3Akw2LrNEsIYmyuTSV01cgFVOQOW0_MukbrYxxPowJXnxmbpuw78OJFWU1evBVL3zsiouemg5H4E5qPhg/w400-h400/IMG_E9574%5B1%5D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yesss! I just had to stamp this gorgeous lion again! I had this idea to stamp on kraft and to use white colored pencil. I have also been wanting to combine this sentiment with the lion. I absolutely love how it turned out. The sentiment is from the December 2018 Kit of the Month, best friend till the end. </div><p>Oh! Did I mention I am giving away another stamp set this month.
