Growing In Unity Day 2


NOTE: I have two blog posts today - this one and my personal States of the Union blog post. You can see that blog post by scrolling to the next post, or you can go HERE. But be aware, those who comment on the Growing in Unity posts this week have a chance of winning a PRIZE from Unity.


Today is my second day as a Growing in Unity Gal. If you missed seeing day one, you can see it HERE. As a GUI gal, every day this week (M-F) I'll be posting a card I've made using a Unity stamp set. Come every day. Check out my cards... and leave a comment! Because someone who comments on my posts is going to win a PRIZE from Unity!

You might have noticed that yesterday's card featured a Unity stamp of a woman drinking a cup of coffee. Today's card features a cup of coffee. Yes, this is a trend... you'll see as you come every day this week. ;)

Today's card features the gorgeous stamp set called One Sip at a Time. I used neutral colors for the papers so that the vibrantly colored flowers would be the focal point of the card.





Thank you for stopping by my blog today!


Stamp Set: Unity One Sip at a Time stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers

Papers: Recollections Black and 110# White and SU Soft Suede CS and DP from the Recollections Bold Basics Paper Pad

Embellishments: Mini Brads from an unknown vendor
