Unity Friends with Flair Friday!

It is Friends with Flair Friday at Unity Stamp Co! See the Unity blog for a complete list of today's Friends with Flair.

For my Unity FWF project I altered some playing cards into ornaments after I saw an article in Somerset's Holidays & Celebrations issue, by Candyce Martens. I changed it up a bit, by adding mulberry paper, distress paint and glimmer mist. I then stamped over them with Versafine Onyx ink and Unity stamps! For the large butterfly, I embossed with gold EP.

I am still loving my Unity Bingo stamp. For the background, I embossed some Bazzill textured cardstock in pale robin's egg and sprayed with Tattered Angels glimmer mist. I then rubbed the raised embossed areas with Peony and Brilliance in Lightning Black. It is a gorgeous black with metallic gold. Love that ink!!

Easy tag making! Just add 'To/From:' on the back. These hearts were punched from the new K&Co paper Viola Vita. I love this new line! It reminds me of Anthropologie! I want to wallpaper my house with it!! The punches are Marvy. Keeping the sizes straight..giga..extra jumbo..jumbo...gives me a headache, so I just refer to them by color. The large scallop is the purple size, the regular heart is the pink size, and the smaller heart is the blue size.

Supplies:
Unity Stamps: Game of Chance Bingo, Confession: I {luv} Unity
Ink: Brilliance-Lightning Black, Colorbox-Peony

It should come as no suprise that I love making backgrounds! For these I used the Bevy of Butterflies and Le Chic Vintage kits. I inked up the butterflies with two shades of ink. I traced around each butterfly with my Sakura gelly roll in Silver Star. It's super glittery. The script background is from Le Chic Vintage, which was the September scrapbook kit of the month. October and November are still available at Unity. September is available at Paper Maniac.

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
