Unity Blog Hop

Hey to all.

Thanks for stopping by and participate in this fabulous blog hop.  I'm so thrilled to share some projects with you.

First, this card.  I made it recently and had so much fun.

This girl's name is Red Girl, but I colored her in blue...  LOL!  



I stamped the rain first in dark blue and applied glossy accents.  When dry I used watercolor pencils to color the girl, and the background.  Love the fabulous composition and the sentiment.


The other project I wanted to share is this media mix "card" with a stand I made for Craft Stamper Magazine.  It was published a few months ago and I hadn't shared so I'm  doing it now.   I used cardboard and added an easel to help it stand.  I added a piece of cardstock and when dried I peel off to create texture, then covered with gesso.  
For the composition I used distress inks with water and repeated several times until I got the desired color..  Then used watercolors, stamps (of course), embossing powder and more.  Hope you like it :) 


Now you should continue visiting all the Unity Friends blogs. Leave comments in all of them for the opportunity to win.
It's awesome, I know! :)

Water along your Journey - ATC

I made this ATC recently with the theme of "water".
Around our life journey we will have to protect from different factors that can easily detour our focus if we are not ready.  We should listen to advice, we should learn from others, but we need to be careful not to forget our dream, our goals, our reason to be at a place or doing a job..  our own journey.

 I think of it as the rain and having an umbrella.  It's ok to get wet sometimes, but you have to be careful and watch out for stronger showers... and always carry an umbrella.



I used distress inks for the background,  and stamped the image and sentiment.
Then I applied some modeling paste with a stencil and then reinforced color here and there with some mica powder and watercolors.

I finished up with some Mod Podge to protect the ATC :)

Hope you like it.

I will be sharing with my friends at Unity Stamp Co.  They are currently having a challenge at Unity Show & Tell Facebook page, and the theme is small stamps.
