Here we are on day 2 of my time as the Unity Stamp Co. GIU Girl! Another beautiful stamp set that hasn't yet seen any ink is ...aging gorgeously (july 2020 sentiment kit). Soooo many birthday goodies in this one! I've chosen the large flower image this time. Since it hadn't had the paper removed yet, I used it to mask my image to apply a little ink around!!
To create this one I started with a white A2 (4.25" x 5.5") base, added a sheet of watercolor succulents paper from the August 2020 Whit Kit. A couple die cut accent pieces from scrap cardstock were also added. The image was stamped onto watercolor paper, colored with several Tombow Art Markers then waterbrushed to smooth it all out. What birthday card isn't complete without some glitter so I took some star dust stickles and water and brushed it on the flowers for that extra sparkle! I also used some Nuvo jewel drops in rosewater and some may arts twine.
Simple but pretty!
I love the multiple uses for this set! I've previously used the "CELEBRATING YOU" for my teenaged son's birthday card (along with numbers etc and a border from KOM 11/19)....very grown up looking and less kid like!
Day 2 is in the books! Be sure to leave a comment on this post and any of the others from my time as GIU for a chance to win one of two prizes filled with Unity Stamp Co. goodies!
Two winners will be randomly chosen from the list of commenters! Winners will be notified here on my blog and also on the Unity Stamp Company Growing in Unity Facebook page!
