Hello Unity friends! I so look forward to Fridays when my blog gets some traffic! Please scroll through the past several posts, as I used Unity stamps quite a bit this week and have some other cards there to show you to. And, of course, I LOVE your kind comments!
I used this particular stamp on this card for 2 reasons:
1. On Monday, the 25 random stamps I won from a previous Friends With Flair hop arrived. I decided then to use one of them for this week's hop.
2. A friend of mine, Brittany, purchased Smooch Inks recently and was wondering how to use them. I wanted a stamp image that was very detailed so I could display just how fine detailed you can get with Smooch inks. I love to "paint" with them. They make me feel like an artist! And trust me, I am not!
So, this card is for Brittany. It is spring here in Northwest Wisconsin, and this little girl flying her kite seemed the perfect image for this Friday's FWF.
I used paper from Echo Park's Springtime collection, and several different Spellbinders, plus, of course, a variety of Smooch inks. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It matched so beautifully. If only I could tie a bow. I used the Perfect bow maker. Maybe it's because I'm left handed that I still failed at bow making 101? There's also a little twine from RRR. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the card.
i LOVE that stamp. i have seen it on several people's posts on FWF. and they all say they have won the stamp in a big grab bag. i have contacted Unity to find out if i can purchase it, and i can't.
