Good Morning!
If you came here from Ginger Pelfrey's blog, you are on the right track ...
If not, the complete blog hop list is at the end of this post so make sure you stop, look and comment on each one!
In early September I was lucky enough to be a “Growing in Unity Gal” and spent a week sharing Christmas cards I made using my Unity Stamps. I loved the challenge of it and I look forward to next year’s event.

In early September I was lucky enough to be a “Growing in Unity Gal” and spent a week sharing Christmas cards I made using my Unity Stamps. I loved the challenge of it and I look forward to next year’s event.
This week, I am participating in small blog hop with several other
GUI gals to share some more cards made with Unity stamps as well as give two
lucky commenters a chance to win some Unity Stamps of their very own!
For this hop I wanted to play with my new set of Unity
Stamps as well as some goodies that have not seen the light of day for a while …
namely, watercolor paper, embossing powder and Twinkling H2O paints!
After a few trial and errors with my paints, here is my card. I have to say I love how well the image stamped and heat embossed. Even those little fine lines picked up nice and clean.
Here are some close ups of the flowers so you can see the embossing and the fine sparkle from the Twinkling H2O paints. (and yes, the card really does shimmer with those colors in the light.)
Supplies
- Image & Sentiment (Unity Stamps KOM 2015 “Halo Dirty”)
- Card stock, base (The Paper Studio)
- Card stock, black (Stampin Up!)
- Card stock, metallic (Neenah)
- Cold Press 140lb watercolor paper (Canson)
- India Ink (Memories)
- Pearls (Stash)
- Sharpies – used to color the pearls
- Twinkling H2O (ColourArte)
- White embossing powder (Stampin Up!

It's so titillating! I can't stop looking at it! WOW WOW WOW!!!
I use H2O's on all my work. I love the sparkle in them and they blend so well, when they went out of favor for comics they are hard to find. Have to get them online now but color choices seem to be more limited. Still an array of colors. You did a fantastic job on this!
Absolutely beautiful, those paints are amazing!
Beaut, I haven't used my Twinkling H2O's in years! Thank you for reminding me of the beauty of them in your creativity!
Wow! Stunning card!!! Love it!!!
Gorgeous card! I'm going to have to try some of these techniques that are new to me!
Love the effect you got with these pretty flowers!
Love the spring color! Great job!
