Growing in Unity, day 2 -- Pinterest inspired

Thanks for stopping by today!  Make sure to leave a comment today, and each day this week.  One lucky person will win 2 Unity Itty Bitty stamps from Unity just for commenting.  How great is that?

Do you spend time on Pinterest?  Do you spend more time pinning than using what you've pinned?  I DO!  I was determined to make SOMETHING in 2013 that I actually pinned, so that's what I did with this card.  I'm going to show you the Pinterest version first:

I don't know why it looks so washed out!  It was prettier on the site I pinned it from (paperwishes.com).  Anyway, I purchased the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares and found this card using them, so I pinned it.

Here's my version of the card:


There's lots of diecutting on here, but not much stamping, but I still thought it would be a fun card to share.  The sentiment was part of a Unity grab bag (love them, they're so fun!).  Papers are Echo Park For the Record Tailored 6x6 pad. 


Thanks for visiting my blog today and please come back tomorrow!

    Yes, guilty as charged. I pin tons of things on my account and love the inspirations I get from them too.
    Your card is just lovely - also perfect for the upcoming Chinese New Year! :)

    This is beautiful, Julie! I'm sad to say I have recreated a lot of pins related to food, cleaning, and decor but not so much the crafting pins.
