Growing in Unity, Day 2

 Happy Tuesday, friends!

Welcome to my 2nd day as a Growing in Unity gal for 2021!

Today I have two cards to share that I created with border background stamps from Unity Stamp Co.


Border background stamps are a relatively new addition to Unity's product line and I own several of them. They are so pretty, so much fun to color, and always provide the perfect space to add a sentiment to your card.

My first card was created with the She Sells Sea Shells border background (That's almost as hard to type as it is to say!) This image was so much fun to color with Copic markers. It screams "summer" and it provided me with a little departure from the frequent floral images I gravitate towards.
The sentiment I chose is from Bunches of {Love}, which is one of my all time favorite sentiment kits, and I heat embossed it in silver. 


My next card was created with the Strawberry Fields border background stamp and it's one of my favorites. I have a "thing" for strawberries! I colored the image with Copic markers and added a sentiment that I thought paired perfectly with the image. I honestly am not sure which kit this sentiment is from, as I had received it as part of a grab bag at one time. I finished off the card by adding some clear "droplets", some of which look like drops of dew on the berries and flower petals!


I hope you enjoyed today's cards. Check out Unity's selection of border background stamps! All of Unity's stamps are "cook to order" meaning they are manufactured and packaged as orders are placed, so you never have to worry about an "out of stock" situation!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

  13. Great cards! I guess I haven't been paying close enough to the Unity Stamps posts on FB. I didn't realize that they had such great background stamps. You've colored them so nicely and the sentiments are perfect. Thanks for the enabling! LOL!

  20. I love the peaceful calming colors you used on the ocean themed border, it is just a beautiful blend of color. The strawberry plant border is so energetic and happy, it makes me want to go outside and garden! Great coloring!

  21. Oh my your seashell border card is colored so beautifully! I've refrained from purchasing that one as I was worried about the time involved to color it up! Sometimes I'm not so patient! LOL
