Day 3 - Growing In Unity

Day 3... Growing in Unity

This card is SUPER SIMPLE and sometimes you just need simple. Especially on days you have grumpy teenagers.... I need A LOT of SIMPLE today...LOL

I used some basic white cardstock, black cardstock, and here we go again with this pink cardstock... Yeah, me, the person who hates pink, yet it kept calling me back, or maybe it was Evelyn, maybe she likes pink. Yeah, gonna blame Evelyn on that one!

 

Supplies Used

Unity Stamp Company - Evelyn Girl

Tsukineko - (Tuxedo Black) Ink

Stampendous - (Clear) Ultra Detail Embossing Powder

Spectrum Noir - AP3, PP2, PP4, PP5, PP6, TN3, TN6, BGR1

and since I have included a 2nd project each time, might as well include one here too....  This little guy was the FIRST Unity stamp I ever used...so yeah, I am a little attached to him. I wanted to make a cute Valentine box to put some candy treats in  for (yep, you guessed it) those grumpy teenagers. I put the owl on foam tape so he would pop out a little, but you can't really see it in the photo. Sorry.

This little guy was also my first stamp I used to try out Paper Piecing.  (and I'm going to sneak a few pics of that project in here too....be gentle, it is a little rough around the edges), but it sure was fun to learn a new technique and he is perfect for paper piecing!!!

here are a few before pictures so you can see how I put him together. 

Paper piecing is great for those scraps of patterned paper you have laying around. 

Now to assemble...

More piecing together...

Then I had to give him some color....still not very good at coloring him yet, but working on it  :)

then I realized my white cardstock was just too plain, so I made another mask using a sticky note

Covered my stamped image with the sticky note mask

Then I just rubbed my ink pad across the cardstock while the sticky note protected my image. 

 

Added a strip of paper down the side

There. Done.  

 

 

I guess 3 projects on the third day is appropriate.... oh wait,,,did I just challenge myself to 4 tomorrow?  Ummmmm yeeah, NO!  LOL   I might be funny sometimes, but I am not crazy...LOL
