It's Unity's Friends with Flair day and I'm excited to say that I've created some mini cards. My friend Kelly sent me some goodies and in one bag was this ivory colored card stock, which at first I thought was tags. I did discover that they had a score in the middle. Folding them into six 3.25"x3.25" mini cards. I ended up trimming off the 1/4 inch.
I needed some creative time because life has been pretty stressful lately. I won't get into all of it, but my mode of transportation is 14 yrs old and needs quite a bit of repair. Yesterday the brakes locked up, I knew brakes needed repair, but was just hoping to make it a little longer, so my son's friend could have done it for less expensive. I got the brakes repaired and now need to get springs in the front as those are broken. I think I need a Fairy Godmother that is great at repairing vehicles!
Enough of that...here are three of the cards using the grab bag of Unity stamps I won for commenting.
Congratulations to Unity for hitting 60,000 Facebook followers. Unity has a great sale going on this weekend and The Friends with Flair challenge linky is open until midnight tonight, winners are announced on Monday. Thanks to my friends Kelly and Carolyn for the goodies and inspiration! I'm so glad the two of you are in my life. Also, a big thank you to Angela for creating such awesome stamps and being so generous with them!
After the running Mitch to work and then getting home to relax a bit and doze off a few times, I didn't start on my card until about 8pm CST. I turned on Glee and picked out the stamp I wanted to use and decided I wanted to emboss it using Distress Ink Dried Marigold and the heart stamp from Unity's The Best Love Story. On my messy scrap table I saw a piece of paper from Bo Bunny that I flipped over and the board print with graffiti print caught my eye. I laid it on an orange card base and thought it looked good together. I stamped the heart with dried marigold and embossed with clear embossing powder. I cut that out and then figured out what I'd use for accenting paper. I wanted to use a sentiment too, but wasn't sure how I'd get it on the front. Then I remembered Kristina Werner using vellum so it didn't cover the design completely and still allowed a sentiment to be used. The sentiment is from Unity's Your Heart and My Heart stamp set that my friend Carolyn gifted me. I used Ranger Turquoise embossing powder for the sentiment. I really like the unique colors of this Love card. I like using non-traditional colors whenever I can. I am submitting this card for Unity's Friends with Flair Challenge that ends at Midnight tonight...in about 45 minutes!
That's it for now, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to get your craft on!
