The long weekend is almost here. But first, FWF!

My favorite day of the work week is Friday, and my favorite part of Friday is Friends With Flair.  There is so much inspiration to be found when I visit all those linked up through the Unity blog.  And, of course, there were some more great new Ippity releases this week.  Will I ever have enough Unity? Nope.

I have three cards to share this week.  The first one is similar to a project I did as part of a tutorial for the design team I'm on.  The theme was 'mosaic'.  I made a mosaic heart out of washi tape.  I used the same technique here on this card, then matched the colors with ink CTMH markers on the Unity sentiment.

The sentiment is from a stamp of the week.  The washi tape is from Target.  I cut the heart shape out on the Cricut.  The baker's twine was given to me as part of some great blog candy I won. Cardstock is CTMH (a retired color).

The next two cards are both using Copics.  The challenge on cropchocolate.com this week is using shades of one color.  Black and white are also acceptable. 

My husband and I had quite a discussion about this poppy card.  I wanted to add some black pearls either side of the sentiment, and some black Stickles to the centers of the poppies.  He was adamant it was complete just the way it is.  Since I made the card with him in mind, I left it the way he liked it and wrote a mushy message inside.

I used MME Meadowlark 6x6 papers, a Hero Arts/Studio Calico stamp for the sentiment, and a free stamp I got from England for the poppies.

The third card is all Unity and Phyllis Harris.  I just love this little girl and the message she brings.

I used Echo Park For the Record 2 papers, Copic markers, Tim Holtz distress ink (worn paper), baker's twine, and some white silk ribbon I won from May Arts.  I dyed it with a Copic marker to match her shoes.  Isn't she the sweetest thing?

Enjoy your holiday weekend.  Hope you find some time to ink up your stamps!
