2022 GROWING IN UNITY - POST #2 - Be Proud of Yourself

 Welcome to Day #2 in my Growing in Unity week.  Make sure to visit all my posts during this week and leave comments for the chance to win prizes with Unity Stamp Co.

You can also visit my Facebook page to see more photos of the project, and Instagram to view a quick FF video of the making.   (links to these pages are at left side in this blog).

This card I made is just about being proud of yourself.  As I mentioned in my post yesterday, this week is about reminding ourselves about our imperfection and how valuable we are.

Sometimes we are the ones being too hard on ourselves...



I stamped the image in white cardstock and colored with alcohol based markers from Kingart and watercolor pencils from Kimberly.
Then I set aside, and colored the background with scribble sticks from Ranger.  I added water and let dried, and framed with black cardstock.  Stamped the sentiment:  Be Proud of Yourself for how hard you are trying.  Added embossing powder to it and heated.  Then I added the fussy cut image with dimensional stickers.  I love the imperfect background with the artsy-painting look... and I love the sentiment as well.  Both stamps are from the same kit called Jane Girl (from AngieGirl by Angie Bloom).

Please leave a comment and visit the other pages to do the same so you have more chances to win.
