Unity Friends with Flair (19 August)

Happy Friday!!  So glad the weekend is almost here.  I hope the sun will be out so that I can go for a walk with my camera.  But first, it's time for Unity Friends with Flair.  Do visit the Unity blog, and come hop along with us.  Please remember to comment for your chance to win some Unity goodies.


I have a simple card to share today.  It's a 3.75 x 3.75" notecard.  I didn't feel like colouring at all today, so I settled for a monochromatic card.  I stamped the hot air balloon directly on a patterned paper and the sentiment on white cardstock.  Not wanting the card to be too plain, I added some stitches with Baker's Twine on the sentiment piece.

Thank you for visiting me today.  Have a wonderful weekend!!





Stamp : Unity Itty Bitty "Absolutely Priceless"
Ink : Memento Rich Cocoa, VersaColor Pinecone (distressing)
Paper : BasicGrey Basics Manila 6x6 pad, Hero Arts layering paper Mocha
