Happy Friday Everyone - TGIF! Well - it has been such a fun week sharing my love of Unity with you guys! I will definitely have to do this again! Today I decided to play along with a couple different challenges. The Play Date Cafe and CPS. PDC has the pretty colors of Purple, Lilac, and Lime - very striking colors. They center paper came about as I was talking to my Grandmother and she was telling a cool new technique she just saw done over a Paper Wishes (if you go to the webisode it is about 15min in.). Take a shallow dish of water and touch the tip of your smooch color in several spots with as many colors as you would like. After I did that I took a knitting needle and swirled all the colors around to make it look marbleized. I thought it matched the very psychedelic look of the mushrooms. So Thanks to Grandma for a new technique!Don't forget to keep your eye out for the blinkie to win some Unity goodness. And if you leave some love on every days posts you have a chance to win some Unity Rubber right here!
Thank you so much for everyone who has followed along this week!

ReplyDeletenow if only I had some smooch! I love the homemade paper for the mushrooms. Very cool! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteGreat color combo, and that marbled technique looks perfect with the mushrooms! I used to do something like that technique as a kid by scraping off bits of chalk into a shallow pan of water and then putting the paper down on top. It makes a fun effect, too! Happy Friday!
