Unity Friends with Flair (15.06.2012)


Hello!  Hope you are having a great day.  It's time for some Unity Friends with Flair inspiration, and I hope you'll hop along with me.

Since it's Father's Day this weekend, a friend asked if I could make a card for her.  I pulled out my very first Unity KOM, February 2010 (which is now retired) - that kit has some great sentiments for Dads.  I selected my favourite sentiment and the 2 little cute birds for this card:

The birds are coloured with Copic Markers (RV93, RV95, R56, R59 and BG11, E23, R56, YG63, BG70 BG72 & outline BG10).  The tree is a die-cut and coloured with Copic Markers (E23, E25, E27, YG61, YG63, YG67).

On the inside, I left it really simple for writing in the message, and used another sentiment from the same KOM.


This weekend, I have to pack up my craft supplies - I've been putting it off but I think it's time.  I'm getting ready for a move - am heading back to work after a long break, and in a new country.  So, it's all very exciting!  Although I won't be making cards for awhile, I'll still be around to follow your creations each week.  Wish me luck!

Thank you for visiting me today.  I truly value your kind comments each week, and your support has made all the difference, more than words can express.  It encourages me to be a better cardmaker and I am also inspired by your creative work.  Throughout the next few weeks, I'll still be posting some cards every now and then, which I've made ahead of time.  I hope you'll like them.

Take care!  Till the next time...stay well.
Kary

Kary, this is such an amazing Father's Day card. I am so wanting that tree die now! I feel like I was transported to a city park! Have a blessed weekend.

So beautiful card. And that KOTM must be well taken care of. There is not so much stamps with Dad's theme around. Sometimes it's so difficult to make a card like that. Thanks for sharing.

What a fabulous little scene! The birds are so cute, and the sentiment too true. I like what you did on the inside, too.
Good luck with the move and transition, Kary! Hope you don't suffer too much crafty withdrawal!
