Unity Sketch Challenge - August 2026

Hello crafty friends! I have created a couple cards for the Unity Show & Tell Sketch Challenge! I got on a roll last night and made two! :)

First up is an Autumn/Fall/Thanksgiving card. Since this is the next "season" I thought it was a good time to get some fall vibes!

I started with the ink spot! I grabbed my blending brushes, added some water and smooshed it around! That's all! Leftover ink on the blending brush and some water! I had to be careful with the amount of water and rubbing that was used because it started to damage the cardstock.  The pumpkin is from September 2024 Kit of the Month {wander and wonder}. Stamped it onto the card base first to get all the swirlies and yumminess, then onto a scrap piece that I fussy cut and colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers.

The sentiment and enamel dots were added at the end according to the sketch!

I went in a completely different direction with this next one.....

I made the ink spot first and had a stamp set in mind, but couldn't find it! :/ so had to switch gears! I used the same blending brush and water technique for this ink spot. The butterfly I had received in a grab bag (it's from May 2017 Kit of the Month {free your dreams}). I loved the sentiment in this kit, but didn't have it in stamp form, so I printed it from my computer. Used basically the same technique as before, stamped the image onto the card front to get all the "extras," then onto a piece of scrap to fussy cut and color. Gina Marie Designs enamel dots again for the finishing touch!

Thanks for the visit! :)

 

Unity Sketch Challenge (Layered Layout) - Haaaaaaay!

 Another card that I managed to get put together for the Unity Stamp Co. Sketch Challenge that is going on over at the Show & Tell Facebook page.

It's sort of ironic that this card came together the same day Angela asked in the group if we clean up our space between projects....I answered honestly as a resounding NO! The reason it's ironic is that these papers and stamp set were already sitting on the side of the desk. I was going to make something a few weeks back with them and never got to it....so it was all still out. LOL

Set is called ...thinking of moo, the December 2024 Uniquely Unity set. The papers are from Barnyard Blowout paper pack. 

I die cut the square using the scallops and squares nesting dies, colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers and used the stamp backing paper as the mask for the ink blending. I added some burlap cording, a tiny piece of red and white gingham ribbon, some red enamel dots and foam tape to bring it all to life!
