Day 5 - GIU Week - Let's say, Hay!

 Hi,  - Wow the week went by fast.  Today is my last day as the featured GIU stamper.

Today's card is so fun.  If you haven't noticed by now I gravitate towards, "cutesy" stamps. and this one is no exception.

So for this card I started with the (Thinking of Moo) Uniquely Unity set from December 2024. - I can't believe it took me this long to use it.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Watercolor paper and used watercolor pencils and a paintbrush/water to color it.  Then I cut it out with a Unity Die and added some photo corners.

I love that Unity has a great line of patterned papers and the (Hay.There.)  was the perfect choice for this little cow.

I cut one piece of the plaid and a strip of the Hay and then added a piece of Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon.  This was then mounted on a card base of Old Olive.

For the sentiment (which comes in the set) I stamped the Haaaaay!!! with Memento black ink and cut it out with a Unity Circle Die. Then I used a ruler and a black marker to underline the sentiment.  That was mounted on another circle of Pumpkin Pie cs.  

The image and sentiment were then mounted with foam tape and some orange gems were added for accent.

Almost forgot that I stamped the inside too. - those weird blobs are not on the card, shadows from the light coming in from the window.

It was so much fun creating cards for this week and I hope you have enjoyed seeing them as much as I did making them and sharing with you.

Growing in Unity - Day 3

 Howdy! - Hope you are having as much fun this week as I have been having. 

Today is Day 3 of my Growing in Unity week and I have a fun card for you today.

If you have visited my blog before you may have seen this card already. Click to enlarge:  You can view that post HERE.

But guess what?  I just couldn't resist making another card with that stinkin' cute mouse!  This set is Tiny Buckaroo.

This time I did not fussy cut the image out.  Instead I stamped it on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol.

Then I used a blender brush to distress the edges with blue ink and I added some black splatter using a Lustre brush.  Next I created a tag with some background paper , (Barnyard Blowout) from Unity. The sentiment was also stamped on a piece of the paper pack and cut out with a circle die from SU (Stylish Dies) I used some twine to wrap around the tag, a old retired SU star brad, and a couple of different star punches.  The tag portion was mounted on the card with foam tape.

Card stock colors, Real Red, Night of Navy and Basic White. (SU). Remember you can use any of these colors from whatever company you like.

Don't forget to leave a comment because at the end of the week I will be drawing 2 names from all comments through out the week for a chance at a $20 credit with the Unity store.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for another fun card creation.
