Day 1 - Growing in Unity

Hello all,

Welcome to my blog, especially if this is your first time visiting. I'm really excited to be the GIU Gal this week. This is my third time as a GIU Gal and I thought to myself what can I do different this time . . .  lots of thinking later I decided that I was only going to use stamps that had never seen ink before. Actually wasn't that harder of a decision as I realised that I've been more of a hoarder than a stamper. Having said that my Donna Downey stamps have seen ink many many times plus my Angie Girls and a few others but there were still many packets in my collection in their virgin state.

After looking through all the unused ones I came across this girl and I couldn't resist. Here is today's card:
This girl is part of the March 2016 Kit of the Month: A Chance to Change. I coloured her with Copics and then used a stitched die to cut out the card. I layered her on some Amy Tangerine papers and used an acetate flower for embellishment. I hope you like here.

Please remember to leave a comment below for then you will be eligible to go in the draw, at the end of the week, for a stamp pack. I was very lucky and won a prize a few weeks ago and have used one of the stamps which will appear later in the week.

We that's if for now.
Take care and happy crafting,
Helen xx
