Growing in Unity - Day 2

 Welcome back to my Growing in Unity Week! So, this card is a little more artsy and “angsty”… I do go on these tangents sometimes. I used Mend Your Heart, an old SMAK kit, Let Life Unfold, and Unity’s paper pack, Cozy Textiles. Love the fabric and sewing details in all of these items!

I started with the paper selections, and then coordinated colors from there. I used several browns to create the lace texture shadows… which is what is stamped. Isn’t that cool? I then stamped the needle on the lace and added stitches by pen. I die cut it and distressed the edges and middle seam.

I stamped the thimble using a combo of blue, brown and black to give it dimension. I then stamped the sentiment and fussy cut them both out. I backed the sentiment with more paper.

To pull the card together, I used a ribbon, a button, twine and enamel dots. Not a common card to use, but it’s there in my stash if needed. Unfortunately, we all face heartache at some point or another. Hopefully, this one acknowledges, commiserates, and reaches out to help.

Thanks for stopping by and remember to leave a comment for a chance at Unity goodies!
