Growing in Unity Day 4

For my fourth GIU day, I did a Christmas card featuring my favorite AngieGirl, Arianna Girl.  I colored Arianna with colored pencils by FaberCastell.  The black cardstock is by American Crafts and I used the Worn Music background stamp to make the background paper.  This is a stamp I’ve had since 2009 if not before then.  It is even mounted on wood.  A cling version of this stamp is available on the Unity website.   I cut out Arianna Girl and put part of a doily behind her.  Arianna Girl is mounted on thin foam tape, which I purchase on Amazon (someone wanted to know where to get thin foam tape— it’s by 3M).  I used black Archival Ink to stamp my AngieGirl, the Worn Music background and the sentiment.   The sentiment is distressed with Black Soot Distress Ink.  I hope you love Arianna Girl as much as I do!

    Absolutely gorgeous! So many of my favorite things, too. An Angie girl, a texty BG, pretty doily and my favorite word: Peace.

Growing in Unity Day 3

  For Day 3 of GIU I made a Christmas card using the “Colossal Snowflake” stamp and die set.   The background paper is Graphic 45 and in my mind it looks like falling snow.   I used Astroparche cardstock again for the card base and die cut elements to go with the vintage vibe of the G45 paper.  The ink I used for the snowflake and the word peace was cobalt Archival Ink.  The word peace is from the “Heart of Christmas” stamp and die bundle.  The banner is from the Scallops and Banners nesting die set by Unity.  I used Chipped Sapphire distress ink to ink the banner.  The blues all give this card a monochromatic effect.  Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win one of the two $20 store credits at the end of this week.

I want to thank everyone for your kind and encouraging comments this week.  I was unable to thank everyone individually due to an issue with blogger (I even asked tech support, my son LOL).   This week has definitely jump started my creativity and I hope you enjoyed it half as much as I did.   For my last GIU project, I made a card using the Unity “Kindness Matters Dragonfly” stamp set.   I used the  Make a Tag die set by Unity to, what else, make a tag!  Using black Archival Ink, I stamped the main image on the tag made of Astroparche cardstock.   I inked the tag using Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Rusty Hinge.   The tag is mounted on Burlap paper by DCWV, which is mounted on the card base of more Astroparche cardstock.  Using the postage stamp nesting die set by Unity, I die cut the next smallest postage stamp and cut part of it off so it would fit the card better.   It was also inked with Rusty Hinge and Peacock Feathers Distr...
