GIU Day 3 - Wise Words And Interesting Wallpaper

Hello.  Welcome.  This week I am Growing In Unity.  Sharing a project everyday this week featuring Unity Stamp Company stamps.  Leave a comment on all my posts this week for a chance to win one of two Unity mega-awesome grab bags.  I will choose my winners next week.  

Today I am sharing a card using images from two Unity SMAK kits.   



I stamped and embossed the lady from Focus On The Good and the sentiment from Be Different with black embosssing powder.  To make the background I masked the lady and stamped the flower from the Be Different kit using Electric Green Radiant Neon pigment ink.  Then I did a watercolour wash with Evergreen Bough distress ink.  


Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a Unity grab bag.  If you have missed my other posts this week they are here:  DAY 1DAY 2.
