Friends of Unity March Blog Hop

 Hello again… welcome back to another hop! This month our focus is: 

Since I am still in the process of renovations, I was limited in time to only creating one card for this hop. Also, world events have also distracted me - I had to release anger and anxiety with my last card posted earlier in the week. Here’s hoping for a peaceful solution.

I started this card by pulling out a beautiful new paper pack from Paper Rose called, Monochrome Garden. I found the perfect floral stamp complement to the paper in my stash and stamped the vase from Unity’s Olive Branch kit using a light gray archival ink. I then watercolored the vase using gray and brown tones to match the patterned paper and Kraft card stock. As I’ve been cleaning up and decluttering my craft supplies all week, I found a chipboard frame that I could also use on the card. How fun! 

I used Kraft card stock as the base and added black paper to offset the framed watercolor image. I stamped the sentiment and backed it with Kraft card stock, added crystals and called the card done. This card turned out perfect for my friend’s husband who is recovering from a triple bypass!

I, as well as others in the hop, will be doing another stamp set giveaway this month, so please be sure to leave a comment. I will post the winner in next month’s hop, so check back in April to see if you won!
