Growing in Unity - Day Five

Hello everyone,

It is with great excitement and anticipation that you wait for months for your week as the Growing In Unity Gal and then bam it is all over! It's my last day today, this week has gone so quickly. To finish off I have made a shiny 5 1/2 inch square card for you.

I started with a piece of mixed media cardstock and stamped one of the floral pieces from the Unexpected Places (kom 2/17) set with Archival Ink and then painted it with some Me & Blue Inklingz from Shimmerz Paint. Next I stamped the an older butterfly stamp and fussy cut that out. I mounted the butterfly with fun foam to give it some dimension and gave it a quick coat of Ride the Tide Creameez by Shimmerz. Once dry I fussy cut it and the saying out. I adhered a doily to the background, adhered the stamp and quote and some puffy hearts. I finished off by adding some gloss gel to the butterfly and a few random little butterflies across the background. All in all a very blue card.



A close up to try and show the shimmer.

Well that's it for my week as a GIU Gal. Don't forget to leave a comment to go in the draw as I will be picking the two random winners on Sunday (Australian time!). Thank you so much for leaving the lovely supportive comments all week.

Take care and happy crafting,
Helen xx
