I have two cards to share for Unity's Friends with Flair Friday. First one uses the free digi stamp Ang gave all of us to play with!
My next card plays with my Donna Downey Unity stamps... fitting right!? I am also entering this card into the Unity color challenge this month.
I created the background by placing Distress Inks directly on my craftmat, spritzing with water, and then lying the cardstock on top of the inks. I then used Gesso with my Dylusions stencil to get those bright polka dots. Once everything was dry, I stamped the flowers three times. The sentiment was inked with all the colors in the background.
materials:
Stamps - Unity Stamp Co w/ Donna Downey "Insightful Meadows"
Inks - Distress Ink "Wild Honey", "Picked Raspberry", "Chipped Sapphire"
Gesso, polka dot washi tape, Dylusion stencil
