Here we are at the end of the year and the end of my feature week. Todays projects are full of sparkle and shine. I used Unity's Kit Of the Month's called
Midnight Kisses and
When You Smile. Both of these Angie girls remind me of my daughters so these are for them. Midnight has paper pieced hat, glasses and blouse. Shes embellished with metalic jewels and lots of glitter confetti. Her background is distress oxides and glitter coated die cuts.
Both girls were colored with Inktense pencils and accented with Twinkling H2O's. When You Smile girl is rasied up over
Brutus' Barn Wall with strings of colored lights. I coated the wall with vellum to soften the look. The sentiment was stamped and cut to look like one of those trendy wood signs. I finisded her off with a sprinkle of tiny holographic stars. Both are framed with shiny holographic purple paper, which was also used to creat the lights. Did I mention I fussy cut those out by hand!? {crazy} I really love how these turned out.
As I look forward to 2019 I am hopeful and confident I'm starting the year from the best position to make it even better. I hope you enjoyed this week of projects as much as I have. If you'd like a chance to win some Unity stamps make sure to comment on each post! Want an extra entry? Tell me, Do You make resolustions? If so, what will they be for 2019? I'd like make a habit of art journaling.
Thanks for all your kindness and support this week, you truly make this a fantastic community to be a part of. Please check back in a few days for the winner announcement *and* set a reminder for the blog hop coming up on January 13th. I'll be sharing a fun project featuring those adorable Cuddlebugs again! :)
I wish you all a contented and creative 2019. <3

ReplyDeleteThese cards are so beautiful! It gives me a great idea for making my new years cards! My resolution is to spend more time each day creating cards.

ReplyDeleteI don't really make resolutions, but I tell myself every January to get more organized. And I have good intentions, but must implement them. And I'm going to really try this time. Your cards are amazing and your daughters will love them. I love the designs and all the sparkle. Just wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are amazing and I just love those foil glasses! My 8 year old got glasses two years ago and would kill for something this glitzy, lol. Thank you for an awesome week of designs with Unity stamps Shannon. My resolution for the new year is the same as every year, which is to try and not sweat the small stuff. Whether that works or not is something else. Happy 2019 to you and your family!

ReplyDeleteThis is just the perfect way to end your week as GIU, with lots of sparkle and shine! LOVE that string of lights and the way you captured your girl's personalities. My resolution for the new year is to try to finish up some of those really old layouts that are still gathering dust...sigh...
ReplyDeleteWow I have not been able to see much this week. I got the New Year Girl in a grab bag and wondered what to do with her. This card is drop dead stunning. I am afraid it is too late for me this year, but thinking that would also make an awesome birthday card. thank you so much for the inspiration
