Unity (be inspired)

 Every month, Unity Stamp Co shares a color inspiration image and two sketches (layout and card), along with a release of a new sentiment kit.  This is something all Unity lovers look forward each month.   It's called Unity (be inspired) Challenge.  The current challenge is #23.

I usually go with the color combo inspiration...  I really love the result of getting inspired by a photo or image and love how Unity gets out all the colors from the image and put them together very clearly so we can follow.

Here's the card I made inspired by this one.  It is a CAS style card using all the colors from the challenge and a sentiment by Unity Stamp Co.

I used stencils for the background, with some sprayed mist and color.  The sentiment is stamped in a darker color to stand out.

The gold sequins are perfect for a final touch and were inspired by the lights in the reference image.

The based where all is inked and stamped is gray, but all is over a kraft card base, which I've been using a lot lately.

Hope you like it.  I will share with Unity Be Inspired, and also with Unity Friends with Flair next Friday, so leave a comment for a chance to win with Unity.

Only 5 days left!

Do you know I have a challenge going on?  Yes, I do!!!!

This is a card I made using my own color challenge. 

I will be waiting for your entries!!!!

Have a great weekend!

Welcome April...and a challenge!

Hello friends... Hope you are enjoying life and its great imperfection!

I hear people focused on making jokes and trick others today because it is supposed to be a Fool's Day...  April1!

Well, I don't want to fool or trick anybody. Instead I want to share a facebook challenge. I choose it to be a color challenge and since this is totally random, I will use the colors I am wearing today. LOL

Make a layout, a card or any paper craft project using these colors for inspiration and share with me. 

This is going to happen in the facebook fanpage so just visit me there (button access at right upper corner if you are in your computer or find me as "Scrapper Myra"), like the page and send me through the inbox a photo of your project so I can post and share in the wall for all the friends to enjoy. 

If you are not in facebook, send me your photo and info by email: winecheeseandscrapbooking@gmail.com

This is completely for fun, but if I get at least 10 friends to participate, I will randomly choose one and share some goodies.  

Let's give it the first 10 days of the month. Share your creation on or before April 10.  I will share your entries on the road and if 10 or more participate, I will select a winner and announce the following day. 

Does it sound fun?  Let's do it!
