Fall is here!

Unity, has release a line of papers, this paper is from the coffee lovers pack.  It's nice paper I was able to ink the edges with distress ink, but it didn't take splatters well, it has  a slight sheen to it.  It's a real nice weight, not to heavy but not flimsy at all.  You can find this paper HERE!  I used fall to go to create this simple card.   you can find it HERE!  I used a scrap from a project you'll see this coming Saturday at the friends of unity hop.   Be sure to check back for that.

The sentiment shows up better in real life, my room is very bright today, so taking a picture I almost had to much light. LOL

I simply colored with copics, and added some sequins from craft medley, it's the box of chocolate sequins that are really great.

have a great day!

small break

I just had surgery on Wednesday, I hope to have some things uploaded for you to see soon.   I'm good taking it real easy.  I feel good though, sore but no major pain.   Just very immobile.  Hopefully kids and hubby can set me up so that I can sit and at least color. 

since I can't bend, or lift anything I will need assistance doing things for a while.   I'm a busy body, so this sitting still crap is for the birds.

Here is to a quick 8 weeks.

Fall Prayer card!

This stamp set was calling my name for a while. It's of course from Unity and you can get it here.   It comes with two flowers and five bible Vs.  it's a great set to have, I was not sure I can handle the coloring of it until I really started to use water color.  I really like water color on flowers.

For this card I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi water colors.  Amazon has them for a good price.  I got the set of 40 and they are very very pigmented.   I added sparkle and sequins to give some shimmer.  I am one of those girls who loves shimmer on a card.

I used  Cadmium orange NO.33 and Cadmium Red No. #30 and for the splash of teal I used Malachite NO.#50

Here is a closer view to show you the sparkle.

Does not really do it justice.

Hope you have been enjoying the blog lately, I've been trying to be more active.  If you here again, thanks for the support and stopping by.


Have a blessed day!

WHO LOVES UNITY?

I really should be a spokesperson for Untiy.  I pretty much use them 90% of the time.   Fun fact I came up with the term UNIE.  That is what we call  ourselves over on the show n tell page.   If your on facebook please join us there.   IT's a fantastic group of women.  I've met some great friends there and even had the pleasure to met one in real life. ( Waving hi to Crystal)

This card is again super simple to put together.  Get out those pattern papers and use them.   I used the owl cuddle bug that you can find HERE!  The sentiment is from Taylored expression.  IT's the new sentiment strip with the die They are super easy to use.  I colored the sentiment with distress ink to match the colors I used.   The owl is colored with copics I used E33, E35 and E37 .   I then took a piece of an old sock (from a sock that was my sons when he was little, i'll never throw it out...LOL)  I dipped that in the blending solution and dabbed it on the image.  It is an old school effect but I like it still gives some great texture.

Thanks for stoppin by,

Cupcake Birthday wishes!

I love large stamps that fill up a card.  Unity is great for that.   A lot of the images are large like this one.    I used Cupcake day for this card.  it can be found here.  I foiled the bottom layer using deco foil. (it's not showing up well on here and I already mailed it.  Oopps)  I wanted to make it look like the foil wrapper so many cupcakes have.   I colored it with copics.   I added some fall themed pattern paper and that was about it.  Pretty simple easy card. 

Falling for fall!

This stamp is of course UNITY, and can be found HERE! It comes with some really large sentiments.     I wasn't sure what color to do the flower and then I threw out the norm and decided to go with teal.  may not be found in nature but heck yes on a card. LOL  I colored this with zig markers.   The pattern paper is from my stash.  Wish I had more of that background it goes great with fall themes. if you know of a paper that has a burlap texture let me know please in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by,

Friends of Unity, September blog hop!

Oh, how I love some fall cards, I just love the fun fall colors.   I'm about ready to say goodbye to summer.  Although I enjoy being warm and not cold.   I'll miss you shorts and t shirts.  Waving bye sadly!

  So, if your new  here WELCOME, My name is Dawn,  and I love to make cards.  I hope you stop back or give me follow.  I don't post much so I won't bug you to much!


Today I have two cards for you.   One with a bit of a mixed media touch and one that IMHO, is just adorable.  .  We are not sponsored!  Just a group of women who happen to love UNITY!


  This first card was with the new cuddlebug Racoon.  You can purchase it here!  Don't forget to watch for sales.  Unity has sales most every weekend.   I colored him with distress ink Added him to a piece of pattern paper!  Simple card.  Can easily be recreated.   Use up some of that stash of paper you have.  God, knows we all have a ton of it!

  My second card is using the sentiment kit There is no reason.  You can purchase it here!    What I did for this card was stamp the image onto water color cardstock.   I used again distress inks to color to get the center darker I just rubbed the ink pad onto the image.  It gave that cool darker center that i wanted.   I added a pop of orange and some teal for a fun fall look.   For the back ground I sprayed some distress oxide spray onto a kraft panel.   I spritz with water to wake it up.  And then spritz with bronze distress spray.  You cant really see that in the picture but it's' there.   I popped up the flowers (i think they look like big mums)   added a sentiment which I distressed with distress ink so it wasn't so stark white.   Easy elements easy card.  Don't forget to play with what you have.  Get out some of those sprays and make a simple background.  Have fun!

Happy September!

Ahhh, September how I love thee.   I am not ready for summer short season to end.  But I do look forward to fall.   I have some really cute cards to share with you this week so be sure to check back.

Today I have a cute Halloween card to kick of the season.   I honestly really enjoy Halloween and fall cards.   I'm anxiously awaiting some really amazing Halloween stamps from Unity.  Fingers crossed they will be here by next weekend. 

The stamps I used today are  from brutus monroe (they may be retired)

  I colored with copics, the background is with distress ink.  I use a bat from Tims new bat die.  It's got some really good sized ones.

Enjoy
