Unity Friends with Flair (04.05.2012)


Hello!  Are you getting ready for the weekend?  I hope to catch up on lots this weekend including attending to my blog reader.  But, first, Happy Friday and I hope you'll join us in this week's Unity Friends With Flair hop.

I went for simple this week, inking up my much neglected KOM Oct 2011 and my favourite Simple Stories Generations set.

No patterned paper this week, just pure stamping, a little colouring, a ticket embellishment and a branch die.  The background doilies are from Generations stamp set, and the bird and sentiment are from the KOM Oct 2011.

Short post!  Be sure to check out the Unity blog for the list of participants this week.  Hop along and if you have a Unity project, do link it up.

Have a great weekend!
Kary

Products used - Background stamping with Memento Bamboo Leaves & Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue (love this colour!) & distressed edges with Distress Ink Antique Linen, Branch die - Memory Box Woodland branch, Ticket - Tim Holtz Adage tickets, Copic Markers - Bird (BG01, YG13), Branch (E44, E47), Hero Arts Layering paper.

What a delight to the eyes this card is Kary - I love the way you have the images going 'over the edges'.
The colour and images on the bird are quite quirky and unexpected - and delightful.
Blessings
