All week, I'll be sharing a bit of Unity Stamp Co. joy with you all. The timing is great -- visiting the Unity booth at CHA last week was definitely a highlight of the show! I can't wait to get my paws on all of their new releases. You can get your paws on some Unity goodness too -- be sure to leave a comment on each post this week for a chance to win a stamp set! Hooray for free stuff ;)
I'll have a mix of cards and layouts for you this week. Today, let's start with a card, shall we? For this sweet and simple card, I used the Echo Park co-brand set, With Love:
This card is about 6x3.5" and uses a sheet from Sassafras's Sunshine Broadcast 6x6 pad, which makes a fun background for the bike and sentiment. I stamped the bike a second time on a leftover scrap from the same page, cut the wheels out, and attached them to the original image with brads and tiny washers so the wheels are able to spin! Clever, no?
You can (kinda sorta) see the dimension at this angle. A few pearls (Pebbles) and some twine (Papertrey Ink) finish off the card. By the way, the twine hides the seam where I pieced the background together so the border of the original 6x6 page would be continuous. Tricky!
I may save this one for our anniversary in a couple of weeks, but it would also make a lovely engagement or wedding card, don't you think?
Stay tuned for a layout tomorrow! Don't forget to leave a comment before you scamper off, though. Have a lovely day!
