Day 2 - Growing in Unity

Day 2 - Growing in Unity

Whew, day two...how does this time warp thing work?? It's already Day 2?? But Day 1 was like 5 minutes ago right?  Oyyyyy Never Enough Time In The Day!!!!!

I don't know about you, but this adulting thing is a lot harder than I thought! Can I get a refund? The J.O.B. thing and then PARENTING?? Wait, what? I have to do BOTH in the SAME DAY??? But, but, but <insert quivering lip here> but I have crafty stuff to do. <insert sad puppy dog eyes> I just want to play with my toys, I mean crafts, they are CRAFTS..... LOL

Ok... Day two.... Here we go....

I thought day 2 should be special, well, because, well,,,, there was day 1.. and if Day 1 got to play with the coolest Alphabet EVER, than Day 2 should get to play with the best Angie Girls set ever:
 ... Now before you get all huffy about me picking ONE Angie Girl stamp to say was my favorite ( I know, I know, I am trying to type quietly so all the other Angie Girls sets over there don't get all butthurt) but let me defend myself here. Ya see, I am pretty attached to this set because I named my daughter Kara, so you see, it WAS like picking a favorite kid, well in this case, Angie Girl, because well, Kara. See? #Justified  LOL  Ok ok ok, on to the card.....



Supplies Used

Unity Stamp Company - Kara and Melissa Girls
Unity Stamp Company - She Never Says Never
Ranger- Super Fine Detail (Black) Embossing Powder
Spectrum Noir Markers - BGR5, IG1, IG2, EB1 (Girl on left)
Spectrum Noir Markers - CR8, IG10, BGR2, EB3 (Girl on right)
Tsukineko - (Tuxedo Black) MementoLuxe Pigment Ink
Stampin Up - (Positively Pink) Classic Ink


and of course, when I made that card, I loved the background I created so much, I had to make another one.   So here is  Card #2 and a few Before and After pictures showing how I put them together.





Start out using the BEST STAMPS EVER....



Add in ANOTHER AWESOME STAMP SET!!!




Used my Stamping Platform to get a really nice  clean image...




Colored this Girl with Spectrum Noir Markers BGR5, IG1, IG2, EB1 






Colored this Girl with Spectrum Noir Markers CR8, IG10, BGR2, EB3




I used a large Sticky Note to make a mask for the Kara and Melissa Girls.  After I  stamped,heat embossed, and colored my image, I covered it with the sticky note and used the She Never Says Never stamp with the beautiful writing to create the background. (I used the smaller sticky note to cover up the bottom right since I wasn't smart enough to stamp left to right....nooooo I had to go all willy nilly and put it down random so it was kinda like I mopped myself into a corner...lol) 




Ok, I think that is Day 2!  Hope everyone is having a great week and somewhere, somehow, between all this adulting... I hope you are sneaking off to play with the Toys.... CRAFTS, I mean CRAFTS!!!
