GIU Day 1

Hello.  Welcome.  This is my first post as this week's Growing In Unity girl!!  Each day this week I will be sharing a project made with stamps from the Unity Stamp Co.  Then next week I will pick 2 names from all the comments left on these posts and those 2 lucky people will each win an amazing grab bag of 25 Unity stamps!  For a chance to win all you need to do is leave a comment below.  

For this card I have used Jessica Girl and the sentiment from Lil Bunny Peeps



I stamped Jessica Girl on a piece of white card and masked her.  I added some solid blocks of colour using various green distress inks.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Lil' Bunny Peeps many times using Evergreen Bough distress ink.  The sentiment reads


'Thank you for being a friend'

I cut the panel with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle die and mounted it on a dark green base card.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to leave a comment and come back tomorrow for my next project and another chance to win.  Hugz
