Growing In Unity - Tuesday: Beautiful One

 Welcome back! 

It's Day Two of my week playing with my Unity stamps and getting to be a Growing In Unity girl and (hopefully!) inspiring you! 

Anyone who has been a Unity fan for awhile knows all about the amazing Angie girls that Angie Blom has created throughout the years. Their unique look makes me feel a little like this is the adult version of the Paper Dolls we used to get to play with as little girls. (Boom. yes - I just dated myself.) 

This Angie girl was originally part of a KOTM from June 2016 called Beautiful One. If you are looking to find just the image, Unity also released it as a stand alone babe and that set is called Proud Of You Girl. The  sentiment can be found in a stamp set called Flutters to Go. :)  

When I say I love clean and simple (my Day one card) this is polar opposite. A little texture/mixed media vibe was needed. 

Supplies used: Brick Stencil (Tim Holtz), texture paste

TH Spray Stains in Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap Old Paper 

TH Ink: Tea Dye

This background was a labour of love and I simply layered splashes of stain and muted it with sprays of water. Once I was happy with the result I added the texture paste with the stencil (the background was still slightly wet, and that's where the texture paste grabbed the color)

I inked up the Angie girl with Memento ink and colored her with Copics. She was then fussy cut to layer on top of the dry background. 

Ang, Whit and all of the wonderful people at Unity work SO hard to keep creating beautiful images to design cards with. They literally go above and beyond to keep our crafty hearts happy. They are so giving, and there is a Unity gift card for a lucky visitor this week so be sure to let me know you were here in the comments below!! 

Tomorrow is hump day! See you again ;) 

Peace Love n' Ink
