Welcome back Unity friends!
Time seems to be moving a lot faster; this week snuck up on me! To help me decide on what to feature this week, I asked for suggestions in the FB Unity Show & Tell. I had an idea in mind, but wanted to see what others would be interested in. One of my Unie sisters suggested a theme from my moon collection, that happened to be something I was already thinking about, so I ran with it!
Another suggestion, was to use Unity background stamps, and that's what we're starting the week with.
For todays cards, I used the beautiful Celestial City background stamp, and an Itty Bitty from Donna Downey called, A Certain Darkness.
The first card is stamped with Versamark ink on black linen cardstock, then embossed with gold powder. The entire panel was spritzed with homemade shimmer spray (gold eye shadow, glycerin & alcohol). The sentiment is also embossed in gold on vellum paper, framed in gold from a die cut from Gina Marie Designs. I finished it off with a few gemstones (Amazon nail art).
If you are familiar with the GIU week, you know what to do next! If youre not familiar, Unity geneorusly gives a gift card to someone that comments on this blog all week long, so be sure to come back each day! See you tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with shiny backgrounds on a dark solid color. Both are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! I look forward to the rest of your moon week.
ReplyDeleteI love the fun sparkle of these cards! The sentiment is a favorite and the frame around it is so cool. Homemade shimmer spray is such a great idea, I can't wait to try making some. The more the shimmer the better and if I can use things around the home and make it myself, all the better!
ReplyDeleteHard to pick a favorite - I love both cards. I love the theme of hope and focus on the celestial!
ReplyDeleteWOWZA! LOVE THE SHIMMER! GREAT pairing!!! 😍
