GIU - Brave Girl

Helloooo! Happy Thursday - almost Friday woohoo!! I am here with my fourth day of Growing in Unity - what a great way to be able to showcase all ever growing collection of Unity stamps I am getting!  I don't know what they do to that rubber - I think they put something in it to get you addicted to it!  ;-) Today I am using the Brave Girl set.  This set is absolutely gorgeous when you see it in real life and it is HUGE!  I am playing along with a couple challenges here - the 2 sketches 4 you sketch and the color challenge from Color Throwdown. I love, love, love this color combo - definitely one of my favorite combos.  I thought it might be a good time to drag out some chunky MS Glitter that I had to have and haven't used yet (you can't really tell but the green glitter is vintage leaf glitter - very cool looking) I thought the paper just didn't have the bling I wanted so I added my own - what a great thing glitter is!  I love the brave girl sentiment but was thinking it was to huge for the card, when I remembered I got some ShrinkyDink paper (with my half price coupon somewhere, natch!) I stamped and shrunk and it was perfect size - will be playing with that technique more in future!

Don't forget to leave some love on everyday's post - you could win some Unity goodness for your very own! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

  1. Lovely card!! I like your idea of shrinking a stamped image which might be too large for a card. Very cool!
