Growing in Unity - Day 2

Hey Everyone, here we are again. 


When I first saw this stamp on the Unity website, I HAD to have it.  It's a little retro which really catches my eye lately.  And it's perfect for paper-piecing.  So here's my little creation...

(click to enlarge)

The Unity stamp is from the co-brand, Jillibean Soup.  The patterned paper is from Authentique-Blissful Collection which I just love,  Echo Park's Summer Days collection and Cosmo Cricket's Upcycle collection.  Cardstock is from Bazzill Basics.


I stamped the bathing suit on the card base as well as the patterned papers; embossed and cut out.  I layered the pieces and added a little bling to the flower.  Ok, I'm going to confess...I really struggled where to put the sentiment.  So I thought, I'll just stamp it next to the bathing suit.  Wait...it's textured paper...it won't stamp well...I'm going to give it a try.   Um, no, didn't work.  So, I stamped on the smooth backside of my cardstock and layered it over my little mistake.  Ok...all better.


Thanks for stopping by.  Remember to leave a comment to win a Unity Stamp set.  Have a great day!!!

    I really like this card. And a word to the wise: whenever I make a mistake on a project, I call it "whimsical" - not a " mistake". LOL! TFS.
