Friends With Flair -- lots of Unity this Week!

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.
