It's Friday, the last day of my Growing in Unity week. 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:
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.
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.
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.
I'll be sure to share the other 2 cards once they are done.
Well thank you for hanging with me all week! I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave comments. Thanks for an amazing week! Hugs to you all!
Don't forget to leave a comment today for a chance to win some Unity yourself.
Until next time,
