We were all given this coming week's Unity Stamp of the Week to work with. You'll see 7 different takes on the same stamp -- fun idea!
I love shaped cards, so here's what I did:
I started out making my shaped card. It is a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe. You can find it HERE. The papers are from October Afternoon, and are actually Christmas papers, but I liked the colors for a strawberry. After I got the shaped card assembled, I stamped the berries image on watercolor paper. I used my Tim Holtz distress markers and water, with a paint brush, and painted the berries. I stamped the sentiment directly on the DP. A little embellishing with 3 Girl JAM ribbon and some bling from Close To My Heart, and my card was complete.
Before I send you off hopping, I want to offer you a little blog candy. I am a Unity Stamp of the Week member, so I will get 2 of these stamp sets. If you would like one for yourself, please follow my blog. In your comments, tell my that you would like the set, and I'll include you in the drawing. I'll announce the winner next Friday at Friends With Flair.
Now off you go to the fabulously talented Karen's blog. You'll love what she did with this set!
