GIU Day 5

Hi all! How does a week go so fast when you're having fun? So today is my final day as a Growing in Unity girl 2017 for Unity Stamp Company. I went completely off the page today and decided to do a canvas. I'm not entirely sure if I'm keeping or gifting it yet but it's fun. :-) Today I played with the Canvas Wishes set that was released in May 2014. I love this set, it's huge and so fun to use. I used it on a canvas that I covered using Dylusions Ink Sprays. I didn't ink the stamps, instead I used water to lift the color. The words on the bottom were hand lettered by me using my trusty water brush. 

So much color and fun.... I kind of love it. 

Don't forget to leave a comment today (or leave comments on the other 4 days if you haven't already) because I will be picking 2 winners on Saturday night to win some Unity Stamp Co. goodies! :-)

Thanks so much for visiting my blog this week!
Brittany

    This canvas is gorgeous! I love the colors and the pretty effect with the water stamping! I haven't done that before! So pretty with the dandelion stamps you used!
    Thanks for a great GIU week! This is a great project to wrap up your week!

    I LOVE THIS! Beautiful colors. When you say "you used water to lift the color" do you mean you stamped in water then on the canvas? I may have to try this! Thanks so much for sharing with us this week :)

      Yep, I dipped the stamp in water, let the excess drip off and then stamped on the canvas with it. This technique also works well with the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Growing in Unity Day 2!

Hi! Thanks for stopping back in today for my second day as Unity Stamp Company 's Growing in Unity gal! My card today is made with an older stamp set, Life's Short... Eat Cake! which was co-branded with Simple Stories. This set is fun, I usually use it for kid's cards but decided to try it out as one for someone a little older this time. Here's my card! It's a little distressed, the paper was slightly distressed looking to begin with so I used my Distress Markers to stamp with to add to that look. I also added some sparkle just because it's fun. :-)  Thanks again for visiting, don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win some grab bag stamps, I'm picking 2 winners Saturday morning!  Brit

Hi there! Welcome to the CropChocolate.com Design Team Banner Blog Hop! If you got here from Miwa's blog, you're in the right place. If you just stumbled across my blog today, start back at Amber's blog and follow along with us. There is blog candy along the way, and a prize from CropChocolate.com too! So this is my project: I'm not going to give all of the details here, it was a ton of steps, so I'll do a detailed post after the blog hop is all done, but this is for my son's room. Here's the close ups: CC Products Used: a TON of MM Just Chillin' Boys Paper Ranger Stickles "Goldenrod" Non CC Products: Kraft Cardstock(The Paper Company) Random Ribbon from my stash. I was really nervous that this project was going to look too girly for his room(he's 5 1/2 years old now), but the Just Chillin' papers worked great! He'll love it for sure when he gets home from his camping trip!  So next up on th...

Growing in Unity Day 5!

Hi! I can't believe that it's my last post as the Growing in Unity gal! So today I used my favorite stamp set ever from Unity Stamp Co.! " I Miss Your Face ". I got it about 2 1/2 years ago and it's still my favorite. :-) It's fun to color and I love that you can use all the dress forms together or you can do like I did today and just use one. Here's my card:  There's all kinds of sparkle here, lol! I used a swirl embossing folder to add texture and repeat the swirls on the dress form. I love how this turned out.  So this is the last post to comment on to be able to win one of two grab bags from Unity. I will pick at midnight on Saturday night and post the winners on Sunday morning. That gives you all day to comment. :-) Thanks for joining me this week, if I've even inspired one person, then I did my job this week. :-) Now comment and then go shop the Unity sale! I did! Brittany
