Growing in Unity 2023 - Day 1

 Hi!

Welcome to my first day of my Growing in Unity feature week. I'm happy to be here and hopefully provide you with a little inspiration. It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my work. I hope you enjoy visiting every day this week to see what I have to share with you. Come back everyday and leave comments for a chance to win an amazing prize pack from Unity Stamp Company.

When planning my week’s worth of projects, I like to center around a theme. This week, I’ll be using Unity’s February card sketch (found on their blog here) as my central starting point. I love its clean and simple design that makes building cards around it fun and easy. 

Without further ado - my first project! This week is also Valentine’s Day, so I thought what better than to make some cards for the family. Today’s card is for my soon to be 16 year old son. He isn’t into mushy stuff, so I took this in a different direction. 

The minute I read the sentiment on the You Make Me Happy {itty bitty} stamp, I knew how I wanted to layer the card together. To make the background, I used the Cloud & Wave stencil with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to create a gray sky pattern. The suns were made with a Deco Foil paste spread over a sun mask on vellum paper. Here’s a close up. Hopefully you can see the clouds a little. 

I hope you have enjoyed a quick look at my first project. Check back every day this week for more inspiration. Leave a comment for a chance to win an amazing Unity Stamp prize pack. Have a wonderful Monday!

Cheers!
