Stampin' In Alaska

It's Friday..... All of my fellow Unity fans know that means Friends With Flair . Unity Stamp Company hosts a fun linky party each Friday for everyone to share what they have created with Unity products. This week I'm sharing a  water color Thank You card featuring You're Too Kind   The image was stamped with Versafine ink on water color paper then watercolored with Tim Holtz  distress reinkers. I keep my family supplied with Thank You cards. So, this will be going into the mail soon for their stash.  It's always nice to have a Thank You card on hand! I missed playing along last week, but made a trip to celebrate my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary! 2015 1965 Happy Anniversary from the kids and grandkids. Thanks for taking a look!

(Use your newest stamp) I'm so excited to use a new front and back stamp from Art Impressions called Eat Itself **Photo Alert** This is my first card using an AI front and back stamp SO there are a few photos!! I had so much fun creating this card! Of course, it took on a life of it's own as I began creating.  But that's okay. I'm happy with it and can't wait to share with a Special Birthday person soon.

Oh how I've missed joining the FUN at Unity the past couple of weeks! This week I pulled out a couple of Unity Stamps to play along with the Friends with Flair  linky party. Sabrina (Fashionista) and Make a Bitty Wish I REALLY like the way that this turned out. I can always use an extra Birthday card in my stash! I started with the sentiment that hadn't seen ink yet.... then realized I had received the cake image with a grab bag prize. Of course, I went with a very CAS design and splattered Tim Holtz distress inks onto Watercolor paper with a paint brush for the background effect. I also used this month's Unity {be Inspired} Challenge Sketch: Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at winning a fabulous Unity prize!
