Hi everyone! It's a rainy Monday morning here in northern IL and I'm popping in to brighten up the day a little with our WINNERS of the Unity Stamp Company's Growing in Unity week that was here on my blog last week. Thank you all so much for participating and leaving such beautiful comments on my postings. I read every one of them and am so happy that I could take part in such an awesome opportunity to spread some Unity love and offer up some fun Unity prizes. Now, on to the big winners and one more card from my Unity Stamp collection. I used Random.org to select our two winners.
Day 2: Whitedoves41
Day 5: Sharon Salerno
Contratulations!
My card today is a simple design with the focus on this beautiful lady from the the Whatever Comes Next stamp set. I stamped and colored her with Kuretake real brush markers then masked her over to protect her image while I added a stenciled pattern to the background. I didn't plan it, but these background colors seem to blend softly into her skin tones. And because square is not my style, (hehe), I diecut the image into a circle shape. I have so many coffee related sentiments from other stamp companies that I love to mix and match with my Unity Stamps, so that's what I did here.
Stamps: Whatever Comes Next (Unity Stamp Company), Caffeine Crush, Minor Stripes cling background (The Ton). Ink: Tiki Torch, Tiara, Orange Twist (Catherine Pooler Designs), Hampton White Pigment (The Ton), onyx black (Versafine. Paper: Bristol watercolor (Strathmore), Gold Sparkle (My Favorite Things), Premium White cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs). Accessories: Circles dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), Kuretake real brush markers (ZIG), Glorious Petals stencil (Hero Arts), Gold Gellyroll glitter pen.
Thank you all for stopping by today!
Have a great week and Happy Stamping!!
