Unity Gives You Wings!

I made this card for the Etsy-Inspired challenge. The shop this week is Red Crow Arts. This was my inspiration piece.I hadn't used the heart with wings image from my August kit of the month yet, so I thought that this was the perfect time to use it. I wanted to make a simple one-layer card. I don't love how it turned out, I think I tried to put too much on a one-layer card maybe?

Supplies Used~Stamps: Following My Heart (August KOM), This is the Time, Fresh Beginnings (April KOM); Paper: Very Vanilla; Ink: VersaMagic Red Brick; Accessories: Shimmerz

I'm in Love with vol25

OH MY GOODNESS!! I was over on Rachel's blog today and she was encouraging people to play the Etsy-Inspired challenge. It's been awhile (I checked, last time was February!) so I thought I'd try it out. So I went to the Etsy store, vol25, and FELL IN LOVE! It helps that the owner is also an artist for Unity (obviously my favorite stamp company), but the pieces were amazing. So I decided to most definitely play along this week, and you should too! Here is my inspiration piece (there were SO many to choose from). The colors, the wish sticks, the hearts, I loved the entire thing!
And here is my card:

Supplies Used: Wish Sticks, Little Me, This Is the Time (mini), American Crafts Ribbon, Shimmerz Spritz, Swiss Cheese Edger Punch, Robin's Nest Dew Drops, Curvy Label Punch

Another Challenge!

I've been enjoying challenges lately! One I had heard about a lot, but never really participated in was Ashley's Etsy Inspired challenges. So this week, I decided to participate! And it really IS a challenge! I hate how this card turned out, but I love the etsy piece that inspired it. I LOVE black and white and I also love black and white cards, but I was trying some new cardstock I got (Core'dinations Black Magic) and I struggled with it. However, what is kind of cool is that the base of the card is black, but the inside is an off-white, so you can write on it without an extra inside piece. Anyway, here's the card. I hope you enjoy it more than I do! :)

Supplies: Unity Stamps (Jan. and October kit of the month), Doodlebug glitter, Basic Black and white ink, sandpaper, edge distresser, Core'dinations Black Magic. Pin It Now!
