Growing in Unity - Day 1!

 Hello friends!

  It's here, IT'S HERE! 

Today's the day I've been waiting for for almost an entire year!

I was overjoyed to be chosen as one of the Growing in Unity gals

 by Unity Stamp Company last year.

I've patiently bubbled in the days on the calendar anticipating this day ♥

For the next 5 days, I'll be sharing cards I've made with

 the wonderful stamps of Unity.

Be sure to comment below each day for your chance to win

 some great Unity stamps!

 Today's card is using Unity Stamp Company's Kit of the month (KOTM)

called [when you smile] - released January 2017.

It's clean and simple 

meets bright and wonderful!

Oh, how I adore this girl!

I created the card for my daughter who is about to hop on a plane

to Rhode Island.

 And it's snowing!

(for us in Miami, Florida - that's a pretty big deal!)

I did some masking on this first card.

I wanted the string of lights behind her as if hanging in the background.

I stamped the girl first onto the cardstock, then added

a large sticky note and stamped it again.

Still in place, I stamped the string of lights and

then peeled back the note to reveal the image.

it's colored with Copic markers and set into a framed die.

I have a fun week lined up so check back often ~
