Growing In Unity - Day One

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my little corner of the cyber world. I am very excited to be the GIU Gal this week and can't wait to share my projects with you. I have loved Unity Stamps for a long time and have quite the collection. I sold a lot of my craft supplies earlier this year, however, I would not part with any of my Unity Stamps! I am starting off my week quick and easy with my little hello card!


I have used an Itty Bitty stamp for this card, it's IB-939 hello Daisy. I love the simplicity of the stamp and I stamped it two times for effect. I coloured it in with colouring pencils and then applied a layer of white colouring pencil to blend it all together. I created the background by covering the card with strips of washi tape.

Well that's it for my first card. Please leave a comment below to go in the running for a prize. at the end of the week I will randomly choose two people from the comments left to win a prize pack from the very generous Unity Stamps.

Thanks for visiting. Take care and happy crafting,
Helen xx
