Unity Stamps and Ippity Challenge
I am enjoying being able to take pictures of my cards outside again. Of course, then you have to watch for shadows, bright glowing orbs (it is called the sun). I took 3 or 4 pictures of this card and this is the best one I got - but I found it quite interesting how I ended up with the glow around the little butterfly. How fun is that.
A very simple card made with some of my new stamps from Unity. I am having lots of fun with all those new stamps. The challenge on the Unity site (ippity challenge) - is to use flowers. Luckily I had bought one flower stamp so I was able to participate in the challenge.
My friend Ivanka's blog led me to another challenge site - The Pink Elephant - where the challenge is to use a butterfly.
I stamped the image and sentiment in VersaMark and embossed with white. I inked the edge of the kraft paper with white ink. I used my Spellbinders to cut all the layers. The pin dot paper is a scrap laying on my table from Authentique. I thought it added just enough interest to the card. The image and sentiment were pop dotted. I added the butterfly this morning - as I was trying to fall asleep last night - the thought popped into my head that I should add a butterfly to the card. Luckily there was a scrap of the brighter pink on my table leftover from yesterday's card. I used a Martha Stewart punch.
Thanks for stopping by and yes - it is Friday and we can start to get ready to enjoy the week end.
Beautiful card ... the color scheme is so different and so serene at the same time. Geat job!
