I'm so happy to be back here sharing a few projects with you for this fun blog hop!
I couldn't create anything too elaborate - I was out of town for my daughter's college
graduation last week, and am spending this week helping her move into her new apartment!
I did, however, manage to squeeze in a little time to play with some of my newest Unity
stamps.
I have a hard time resisting Unity's beautiful floral stamps, especially when they come
with great sentiments. This card is created with an older stamp kit that I have had on
my wish list for quite a while. It's called As We Go Along. I love the sentiment
"Remember everyone else is making it up as they go along too." But I used the other
sentiment that came in this kit - I hadn't even noticed it before and I love it too!
I colored this image with Zig Real Brush Clean Color markers, added the sentiment and
a few embellishments, and mounted it on a coordinating colored cardstock.
I used Zigs to color the next card as well. This is a fairly new kit called Blossoming Beauty. The sentiment is from Hugs, Kisses, and Birthday Wishes. It was so easy to line up the image in opposite corners of my
card front using my Misti. The colors ended up looking a little "fallish" to me, but I like it.
Another kit that I've had my eye on since it came out is Your Own Rainbow. I love the sentiments and the image is so much fun to color.
I colored the image with Zig markers and created my own cardstock rainbow for the background, and added a few red "pearls"
Here is the blog hop order, in case you missed anyone.

ReplyDeleteAll of these are awesome. I too am a sucker for all things floral! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWow. So many beautiful creations. Unity florals are my favorites too.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty creations. So glad you used your Zig clean color markers because I plan on creating some cards today and think I'll try my new Artezas! I love all your cards. I'm a huge fan of Unity's florals as well. Can't seem to ever have enough!
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun coloring today! I have a few of the Arteza's too - they work well with the Zigs!
DeleteBeautiful flower cards and I like how you made the rainbow background for the rainbow stamp panel.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards friend! I love that floral kit too. Did you know I have that rainbow kit?!? Unity has such wonderful options for us❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks! I didn't know you had the rainbow kit...but I'm not surprised! :)
DeleteAll of these stamps, work up so nice. Simple cards that are easily cased are my go to. Thank you for a great rainbow card. I have this stamp and have yet to use it as I have a tendency to just want to use the florals because I like to color. Inspired to go and get out the rainbow and use it. Thank you for the inspiration, your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMe too I always say I have enough flowers already then Unity comes with a new set that is a must then I have to have it... I love your cards and now my wish list has a rainbow set😘

DeleteThe first one. Is gorgeous and I love simple cards. Sometimes those are the best ones. The rainbow background with card stock was a great idea! Would be a good way to use up scraps
ReplyDeleteI love using scraps! I have drawers full of them!
DeleteI have almost bought those flowers in a glass set like 3 different shopping sprees...and keep taking it out thinking "I don't need it".... but seeing your card, I feel like I do. Next sale, I'm definitely getting it. Such beautiful cards. Thanks for finishing up this fun hop.
