random fun stuff...

Hello my wonderful friends!

It's time for another Unity hop!
(and sale!)

(Blossom Condolences)
It's also time for a new challenge over on the Unity blog... click HERE to get all the fabulous details and enter your own creations. We LOVE to see your work!

So, totally random and off topic, but guess what I found in my yard this week...
Yup... check out this mother-to-be! I'm so excited to see little 'humming babies' (as my friend calls them). 

Ok... back to stamping...

(Gina and Me)

This week, I decided to play around with an idea I had and made a canvas chalkboard for my niece.   I started out with a canvas board that I covered with several coats of chalkboard paint. After giving it plenty of time to dry, I used a stencil and texture paste to give the edges some dimension.



I sprayed the paste with various Distress inks to give them a nice bright color... I then used the Faber-Castell PITT artist pen (white 101) to ink up the little butterfly in Unity's Gina and Me kit... it stamped beautifully over the chalkboard paint! I then sprayed some more distress ink over the stamped images so they would be a little less stark white. 

Of course, I had to test it out... The chalk wrote and erased beautifully! (don't mind the bad handwriting.... it isn't my strongest point.)




This sweet set is brand new... And I LOVE it! It is just in time too... I'm in need of a baby card for a family member! YAY!

(see that little heart charm hanging off the bow? It's actually an old earring.. I lost it's mate years and years ago, but kept this one because I loved it. It finally has a new life, and I'm super happy about that!)


(Cluster of Buds)

I ADORE this set! It's absolutely perfect for super simple (yet stunning) watercoloring...
Check it out....




Ok.. enough of me yapping. LOL! Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the hop, and check out the new stamps and sales at UNITY!

    You are so lucky to get to see the hummingbird next. We have lots of hummers around but I've never seen a nest.
    got so excited about the birds that I forgot the details of the card. I know it has flowers and it is pretty.
    thanks for sharing.
