Unity Friends with Flair Friday

This is my Unity Stamp Company Friends with Flair Friday project. I made this in my Faber Castell Design Memory Craft mini chipboard journal. I used several different Unity background stamps with some bright Archival Inks to make this colorful background. The stamps I used for the background were In Circle Me, A Bit of Burlap, Stars of Worn (my favorite all time Unity background stamp) and the Harlequin from the April 2011 Kit of the Month. The butterfly is an Itty Bitty called Butterfly Effect. I colored in the butterfly a little and inked the edges with some Prima Ink Edgers. The sentiment is from the Kit called Everything Resides in Hope. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Challenges #28

This week at Christmas Card Challenges we have a color challenge. For my card I die cut the tree from Tim Holtz grunge board. I painted it white with Claudine Hellmuth acrylic paint in Blank Canvas. Then I added different blue buttons in the color palette and used a Christy Tomlinson trick and put the butterfly on the top instead of a star. The blue card stock and ink is Night of Navy from Stampin' Up. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. This was a really fun color scheme to work with. I hope you will take some time to get an early start on your Holiday Cards and  join us this week.

Here is the color story.

Here's my card.
