Friends with Flair Friday at UNITY!

[click pics for larger view]

It's Friends with Flair Friday at Unity Stamp Co. again! Wow, the week just flies by!
See the Unity blog for a complete list of today's Friends with Flair.

I like to make backgrounds with the Cuttlebug embossing folders. I inked them up with various Versamagic and Brilliance Dew Drop ink pads. I love Brilliance ink!! It's very shimmery/metallic. I like to go over the embossed area with a lighter color like Brilliance Purple or Platinum Planet and then hit the edge with a darker color like Brilliance Crimson. I then embossed some sheets of Unity butterflies and punched out some hearts. Easy way to make some notecard sets.


Supplies:
Unity: Butterfly Beauty, Confession: I {luv} Unity
Cuttlebug embossing folders
Marvy heart punch
Brilliance ink
Ranger embossing powder: Liquid Platinum, Bronze


Recognize the tails on these mermaids? They are the umbrella tops from the Rain & Flowers set. I embossed then painted with Twinkling H2O's. I drew the rest by hand and added some Ice Stickles.

Supplies:
Unity: Rain & Flowers
Ice Stickles
Luminarte Twinkling H2O's
Lindy's Stamp Gang EP in Midnight Violet Obsidian
MS leaf punch, EK starfish punch

Valentine Challenge Pt. II

Part II of my TGF Valentine Challenge.
This one is my Sea of Love Mermaid Anya card. The background is another Cuttlebug creation. I applied layers of alcohol ink, ink rubbed it in black, and misted with Glimmer Mist in the new summer LE Riptide. I then used a craft blade to cut some of the waves, inserted hearts punched with the fiskars squeeze punch scalloped heart. Anya's tail is embellished with Imaginisce's Rainbow Blooms in blue.

Now for a little Unity love.
Here's the new, awesome, AND eco-friendly, Unity Stamp Company packaging. These are some card and ATC samples for my LSS. I just adore this "Boom Goes my Heart" stamp! I am a big fan of the Unity stamp system. If you want to try them out in person and live in San Diego, click on the link in my side bar to Cool Scrapbook Stuff. I will be doing demos once the next shipment of Unity arrives. They will be getting the complete line of new releases soon! Which means "Boom Goes my Wallet"!

TGF Valentine Challenge

My entry for The Greeting Farm's Valentine Challenge. One of my favorite TGF stamps is from the Anya line. This is Mermaid Anya. If you would like to participate, details for the challenge are here.

I have been Cuttlebug-ing everything lately. So many possibilities. The background on this card was Cuttlebug embossed, then I sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Vintage Pink, Snow Angel, and the new summer LE color Cherry Limeade (LOVE this color). It is a cherry pink with greenish/blue duochrome in it. Gorgeous color! I then ink rubbed it with Nick Bantock's Lamp Black. The mermaid trio is colored in many shades of pink and red Copics.

Go check out Tattered Angels' new summer color release. They are gorgeous! I'll post something with the new Riptide, Lime Twist and Dreamsicle very soon.
