Hello Everybody!! It's Friday for another hour and you know what that means... YUP, time for Unity Stamps Friends with Flair. You would think I worked for them, but I DON'T (grin), I just LOVE their stamps and have waaaay too many not to try and put ink on every single one - which, by the way - I have not done yet. I have THAT MANY Unity stamps.
So here is my submission for "Friends with Flair" and today I am using one of my brand new Itty Bitty's that I chose as part of my Unity Stamp prize package from last month {Be Inspired} Challenge, called "Folksy Feathers" and one of the reasons I chose this stamp was because I knew it would look great when I used it with one of my very favorite techniques, Painting with STICKLES! This is what the image looked like berfore I painted it using my Ranger's Stickles, stamped onto a piece of cardboard covered in inka golds paint and stamped using my black Stayzon ink....
And THIS Is what it looked like AFTER!
I love everything about this card, especially the fact that the background is one of my inky paper towels that I mod podged onto a piece of heavy cardstock which made making this card pretty quick, pretty simple and Just Plain PRETTY - with all that sparkle!
As Always, thanks for popping by today and don't forget to leave a comment on my blog because every week Unity Stamps always pick one commenter to give a prize away to!
Cheers, and GOOD LUCK!

ReplyDeleteEverything about this is so cool, Lynne! That your background is an inky paper towel -- love that! And stickling that bird makes it look so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, your technique,using your paper towel and just the sheer beauty of it! You certainly rocked it! hugs, patty
ReplyDeleteLook how pretty! Painting with Stickles, you say? Count me in! Thanks for the great technique nudge.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous with the Stickles.
ReplyDeleteThat bird is gorgeous but I just LOvE how you re-used your paper towel for your background! The background totally caught my eye first and I just took a class with Dyan Revealey and she convinced me to invest in a heavier weight paper towel and do the same after seeing some of her gorgeous creations using what would typically get thrown out. Thanks for sharing this beauty!

ReplyDeleteOMG love, love your card. I sat and looked at the background for ages trying to guess how you made it and was clapping my hands when I found it it was an inky paper towel !!! It looks super and the whole card is just beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
