Day 4 ~ Growing In Unity

Uncategorized 1 Minute

A camera is an essential for me as I go about my day. I love to capture a new bloom or critter while walking in my garden. Have you seen this stamp? It is just awesome and fun to color. I love how the branch is wrapped around the camera strap.

Today I am back to bright colors and all that is exciting, alive and refreshing! I stamped the image on lime green cardstock with a stitched die-cut border.
One of my favorite embellishments is 3D-Crystal Lacquer. It adds a 3 dimensional gloss and is great to enhance any image. This is perfect for eyeglasses, vases, water, windows and mirrors.
Using distress inks, I watercolored the image. I tried to keep the colors as bold as possible specifically for the flower as this is my focal point.
“Focus on the Things” by Angie Blom for Unity Stamp Company
Supplies I used
To finish the card I blended distress ink around the border with a Tim Holtz bubble stencil and a mosaic stencil for the background of the sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder. Finally washi tape, sheer ribbon, a copper element and sequins complete the card.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to visit. Please don’t forget to comment. At the end of the week I will randomly pick two recipients of $20 gift certificates to Unity Stamp Company!

Have a wonderful day and I hope to see you tomorrow.

  6. Another great card Rachel! I love the glossy touch for the camera lens as it really highlights your image. I use Glossy Accents for this as well. Great suble background that adds soft interest. Keep them coming!

  12. Such a great card! Love all the details! My use of washi tape never looks so good and I love the copper accent piece on a classic Unity image. I love taking pictures in my garden too but mostly use my phone unless I need a bigger lens!!

  13. Beautiful color and stamp combination. So vivid! I like how the stencil background is done and plays off the ribbon as well as the glossy floral focus.
    Your use of this awesome stamp makes me wish I had added it to my last unity order.
