Growing in Unity: Day 1

 Hi everyone!  I'm here today to kick off my week as GIU girl for the  Unity Stamp Company.  GIU stands for Growing in Unity.  I stumbled upon Unity Stamp Company kind of by accident last year and absolutely fell in love with their rubber stamped images.  I really found myself drawn to their AngieGirls series by artist Angie Blom.   There is something about these girls, most of them faceless that inspire me and just make me want to collect them and color them all.  They are dressed stylish, have beautiful hair and little details like jewelry and manicures just begging for a tiny touch of color.

So, with my first post as GIU girl I'd like to introduce you to:

 
Evelyn Girl


ANGIE-1292A-EVELYN-GIRL




My Evelyn Girl is headed to her best friend's birthday party with a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple balloons.  Dressed in her polka dotted party dress, little purple wedge shoes and stylish hat, she is ready for some birthday fun.

Stamps:   EvelynGirl (Unity Stamp Company),  Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Ink:  onyx black (Versafine), wisteria (Simon Says Stamp), Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers.
Paper:  Bristol watercolor (Canson), Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Accessories:  Stardust Stickles, bakers twine, white pitt pen (Faber-Castell).










I hope you'll follow along with me the rest of the week because I have some more fun cards to share with you.  Be sure to leave a comment each day because I'll be selecting two winners when the week is over.  Each winner will receive a package of 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

My GIU sister this week is Gail.  Be sure to stop by her blog to see her GIU creations and leave a comment because she is also giving away two prizes from Unity Stamp Company!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I'll see you tomorrow for another day of Growing in Unity.

Have a beautiful day!
