Growing In Unity - Day 3

Hello.  Welcome.  This week I am Growing In Unity.  Leave a comment on all these posts this week for a chance to win one of two Unity Stamp grab bags that I will be giving away.  Today I have made a more masculine style card using stamps from Being Who You Are


I used kraft and blue card and Archival ink Potting Soil, gold embossing powder and a blue Promarker.  I stamped the clock image using the archival ink on the background layer.  Then I stamped, embossed and fussy cut it on blue card and added some colour with the Promarker.  I stamped the sentiment on kraft card and used a couple of mats to add interest and dimension.   I used a Creative Expressions die to cut the stitched layers.

Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to leave a comment and I'll be back tomorrow with more Unity inspiration.  Also the Unity Stamp Company is celebrating it's 10th birthday and there is a massive sale!  Massive!!  Everything is on sale!!!  Hop over and check it out.  Hugz

Love the blue, kraft, and gold together. A wonderful design.

Great design for a card that can be easily used for a guy, (though not exclusively)! I have the 'Being Who You Are' kit, but have not used that stamp yet. It is neat to see you use it and get ideas on how to use it myself.
