Friends of Unity October 2025 Blog Hop, Color Challenge

Happy World Cardmaking Day! I can't believe it's October. We have a fun challenge for you, a color challenge. Please enter your creations in the Color Challenge Album on the Unity Show & Tell page. It's going to be so much fun. I love a color challenge, especially with the colors of fall. Fall is my second favorite season. Summer is the first. I'm looking forward to pulling out the sweaters and I recently bought these really cute green courdoroy pants with a fun hem. 

Check out this beautiful cue:



Card #1:








The border background stamp, frondescence, was used on this card. Such a beautiful image to color. I used colored pencils and Gamsol for blending. This stamp is a must have. The postage die was used to cut it out. Sentiment is from Autumn Dream. It is one of my favorite sets by Unity. The floral is gorgeous on cards. I added a couple of die cut leaves, wax seal, and gold paint splatters, to bring it all together.

Card #2:








The image of the woman paired with this sentiment is so powerful. She is from Darkest Night Brightest Day. The sentiment is from the same kit. I was going for movement. She looks like she is literally walking through a storm of leaves. Her hair is also blowing in the wind. I took pattern paper and used an impression die with swirls. I added a little ink to the panel. I layered a couple acetate clusters under the woman. She was colored with colored pencils. Colors were blended with Gamsol. 

GIVEAWAY ALERT: I AM GIVING AWAY A GRAB BAG OF STAMPS. IT WILL INCLUDE ALL IMAGES.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS VISIT ALL OF OUR BLOGS AND COMMENT.
