GIU Day 5 Warmth Of Winter

Hello Nomad friends.  Welcome to Day 5 of my GIU posts.  I hope you have enjoyed the cards I have shared this week using Unity Stamps.  Remember you just need to leave a comment on the GIU posts for a chance to win a Unity gift voucher! If you have missed any then do scroll down and comment.  The more comments the better your chance of winning.  I will be drawing my winners, yes two winners, on Monday.  I am finishing today using one of my favourite Angie Girls from KOM December 2014.

I'm still all blue and white, cos I like blue, and it's a great combo for this time of year.  The original plan was to have a lot more colour but this one didn't go quite to plan so I cut it down a bit and this lovely lady insisted on taking advantage of that gorgeous leafy frame.  The leaf border is from KOM January 2019 and the lady from KOM December 2014.  

 

And....... I also went all CAS with her, since she was out.  Like I said, she is a favourite of mine.  I used Night Sky archival to stamp the girl and the sentiment, from KOM October 2019.  Then I smeared the snowflake background from KOM November 2011 with Sky Blue archival.  Smearing instead of patting with the ink pad leaves less ink on your stamp and allowed me to get a super subtle snowfall.

This is beautiful! I love that you have used so much blue this week. Your creations have been wonderful. I would never have thought to use blue for the leafy border, but it look fabulous. Love the subtle snowflakes, too. So pretty!
Congratulations on a great GIU week!! It's been fun seeing your artistic interpretations using the lovely Unity products.
