Unity Stamp Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

The GIU (Growing in Unity Gals) from July and August are hosting a blog hop this weekend and I'm very excited to be taking part. Well I say I'm excited but when I was making my card my son may have said something else as I wasn't very happy! Everything was going wrong, embossing didn't melt properly, stamping was blurry, watercolour splashed badly but perseverance won out! I finally created a card that I'm happy with.

I used some Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals and Color Bursts to create my watercolour background (I had to do this three times!). Then I stamped and heat embossed the floral heart from the Being Who You Are -KOM February 2018 set. After throwing out the first heart as the embossing started to come off I tried again and then I had to fussy cut it out as I blurred the embossing of the sentiment I used, also from the KOM set. It was not a good crafting day! Interestingly enough, I much prefer my final card than the one I was trying to create in the first place, it's funny how this works out when you are paper crafting. Here is what the card looks like:

 To finish off I stamped 3 little hearts from the same set and cut them out carefully too. Some washi tape, black thread and gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine and the card is finished. I hope you like it.
