GIU Day 3

I am the lucky girl who gets to be the Growing in Unity girl this week at Unity Stamps!
Every day Monday-Friday I will post a project using Unity stamps. You can comment each day for your chance to win two Itty Bitty stamps of your choice. And by the way - the stamps are not exactly itty bitty. :)

It's day 3 and we are half-way done!

Today I made a card with one of my favorite color combos.
 I made a yellow watercolor background on my panel, dropped some ink splatters, and stamped that wonderful greeting from Imagine It in grey. Several layers of fun patterns later and it's a card. I'm trying to get myself to use more patterned paper on my cards because, well, I like it and also because I need to get rid of all this paper so I can justify buying more! Anyone else do the same thing?!?

Thanks for stopping by. Keep coming back through Friday for more chances to win. And stop in on Monday to see if you are the winner. Have a great day!

Hello, Amber! Your stitching really stole the show here. I love all the elements and how you pulled them together with that zig zag stitching! SUPERB! So glad that you play Virginia's View Challenge!
