Growing In Unity, day 2 and The Cutting Cafe -- more Hearts!

Looking for the Simply White Timeless Twine blog hop? Click HERE!

Welcome back to day 2 of Growing in Unity.  I'm combining today's GIU card with my Cutting Cafe design team assignment because the 2 went together so well.  We were to use a variety of Valentine Window Card Tops this week for The Cutting Cafe, and it fit so well with what I had in mind for my GIU card.


When I first saw this Valentine Window Card Top, I had the idea to put this particular panda in the corner.  The panda is from Unity Stamp Company's April 2013 Stamp of the Month kit.  I cut the flower out of his left hand, and added the heart balloon to his right hand.  He needed a little contrast between him and the white background, so I added some burlap ribbon behind him.
For a chance to win 2 free Itty Bitty stamps from Unity Stamp Company, leave a comment on this post.  to increase your chances, visit my blog Monday-Friday and comment each day.  I'll pick a winner early next week.  For a chance to win three free sets of files and printable stamps from The Cutting Cafe, comment on the "Inspirational Time" posts each Thursday. 
I hope to see you again tomorrow!

    Love all of the hearts flying off of the card. Good idea to put the burlap behind the bear. I often have the problem of something not standing out - hadn't thought about putting a plain color behind just part of the design. Great job.
