Stampin' In Alaska

The fabulously talented Unity Stamp Company Design Team has invited all of us  to join their weekly blog hop !! It's a fun "excuse" to pull out my  newest Unity stamp set and PLAY!  Going to be OWL - Right I have never been a big fan of owls... They've always reminded me of the olive green, mushrooms and owls popular in the 70's. (sorry if that reveals my generation) BUT, when I saw this little owl with the sad face and big eyes I melted and into my Unity cart it went!! I stamped this sweet image with Versafine Tuxedo black ink on water color paper then embossed with clear powder. I then watercolored the image with Tim Holtz distress reinkers.  A little machine stitching and Basic Grey Candy Buttons finish the card. The sketch was inspired by this month's Unity {be Inspired} sketch challenge I'm also sharing with the following: Word Art Wednesday:  Challenge #203 Anything goes  Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:...

My Favorite Things hosts a fun weekly sketch challenge. This week's sketch is very versatile. I kept my card very clean and simple  featuring  The Front Porch - Fall (sadly this set is now retired)   The spotlighting technique is perfect for this very detailed stamped image. The image was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia. I colored the spotlight with Prismacolor pencils. A machine stitched border, burlap tag and Jenni Bowlin Vintage Style button finish the card. Thanks for stopping by! I always enjoy your comments.
