Songbird

My card today uses a stamp from the Unity kit "Brave Girl" available at a special price in the shop here.


I layered lots of My Mind's Eye papers and stamped the bird image from the kit on to another piece of patterned paper before layering it on lace and adding a ribbon trim.

The sentiment is one from an old Unity kit of the month.

Materials used:

Papermill cardstock, My Mind's Eye papers,

Unity stamps (as above), black Versafine ink

lace, ruffled ribbon

HOTP buttons, twine

As always, thanks for visiting!

Create Beauty

I bought myself an A5 sketchbook the other day having seen some of the fabulous art journalling around and wanting to have a go at some of the techniques.
I've decided to just use my book as a "play book" and just fill the pages with whatever I feel like at the time LOL!
This first page I made using a mix of watercolour crayons, watercolour pencils, stamping and pens.

The "Create Beauty" stamp from Unity's Just Be You set was stamped using Stazon on watercolour paper and then coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils. I also used the "make something" stamp from Unity's Better Somewhere Today set stamped straight on the page along with the birds from Unity's Brave Girl set.

It may not be perfect but I had fun LOL!!

Materials used:

watercolour pad

Reeves watercolour crayons, Derwent Inktense pencils, Glimmer Mists,

Unity stamps (as above)

black Versafine ink, black Stazon ink, Versamagic ink

sequin waste

black and white gel pens.
