Going out with Friends with Flair

The perfect way to end the year is with Unity and it's Friends with Flair!

The Unity Addicts Challenge was to create a gift bag or paper. Since I wouldn't be using a holiday bag anytime soon I decided on a bag that I would use for my co-workers retirement gift.

So... what did I use so you can make this card too??? I know that's what you're thinking.

I walked into Hobby Lobby and saw this paper that is by GCD by with the designer being Melody Ross. I thought to myself... Melody Ross, I have Melody Ross stamps from Unity. I was sold. 

I used a plain kraft bag and went from there. I hope you like it.

For the sketch challenge I came up with this....

 The inspiration challenge....

 Just a card I made when doing the WCMD Challenges that didn't work for anything.

 I haven't been feeling well so I apologize in advance for the short post.  Make sure to check out all the other amazing talent on the hop and find the flair for your chance to win some unity goodness!

Happy Thursday!

I have been making cards for some Unity and Ippity challenges.  I thought I would start to share them here.

The first card challenge was to go monochromatic with a splash of color.  I think I would stamp the image on something different next time but overall I like the card.

I used some SU kraft and dp.  I distressed the piece that the canvas tag is on with some Tim Holtz ink because I wanted it to be a touch darker than the the rest.  I stamped my image directly onto the canvas and used stickles on the ornaments and let it dry. I added some extra color to the H's.  Lastly, I added some ribbon using raffia and there you have it.  

I'm thinking I may do something similar to this for my holiday cards. We shall see because not matter what I do it will have to be simple. 

Have a great day!

Day 3 of Growing in Unity with a Unity Addicts Challenge!!!

Today I am sharing with you my card for the Unity Addicts Challenge.  You are to use fabric or felt. Since I used fabric on my WCMD challenge I decided to try felt. This was a first for me.

I decided to spritz it with my clear smooches to give it some shine.  I simply stamped my ornaments onto the felt, (didn't wait for them to dry, I don't recommend that) and then cut them out. I really gives great depth to this card.

The next card is using fabric that I did for WCMD

I went back and forth on whether or not to add something else but like the simplicity and calmness this card gives off.

The next set of cards are some of my oldies but goodies.... hope you like!

I hope you enjoyed today's showcase of cards!
