Hi everyone! I am so excited to be your Growing In Unity gal this week! Welcome to Day 2. Be sure to leave comments on my GIU posts each day this week because at the end of this fun week, I get to choose TWO of you to win an awesome grab back of 25 Unity Stamps!
For my card today, I was inspired by Unity Stamp Co. Design Team member Swarup Murthy. She is AH-mazing with watercoloring. I love watching her videos and was inspired to paint my image in the black and white style. I love this line of stamps designed by Tracey Malnofski - I used Sophia today. To color my image, I used a combination of Peerless watercolors and Inktense pencils - I also added some wink of stella to her top for some added sparkle. For my background, I colored some gelatos on my craft mat and spritzed with water, then I just pounced my card on top to pick up the color. After it was dry, I also splattered some color with my paint brush. This is a very simple one layered card but I just love it - I think the image really pops.
Be sure to come back tomorrow for Day 3 of my GIU week and another chance to win!
