My "New Years Resolution" is going on for my 3rd year of using only "new to me" not used Unity stamps in my 'Friends of Unity' projects every month.
Because like some of you (lol), I too have a Unity Stamp obsession
and have a lot of stamps to ink up.
But those darn good sales get me EVERY time too (lol)!
Every month I like to combined some of my favorite things like pretty pattern papers, coloring, Angiegirls, and some sparkle too!
Here's what I came up with...

Here's what I came up with...
Todays Card: You are so Winederful
Last month I was working on birthday cards for my 3 sons and this month I designed my daughters birthday card. I just LOVE Angiegirls and almost always color them to look like my daughter. And this one is perfect for her as she often has her hair in a bun like this, loves wine, and got married at a vineyard a year ago too! And I have not used this stamp set yet. Yay!

Supplies I used: Unity Stamp Co Products: Planner Gal: Winederful stamp, Unity Paper Pad-Pink & Blue Watercolored, and manila mini tag; MISTI stamping tool; Quick Quotes Powder Puff chalk ink-Kokomo; Spectrum Noir and Copic alcohol markers; Colored Pencils (waxy-CrazArt (lol); Papertrey Ink cardstock-black card base, green, and blue; Ranger Ink Stickles (glitter glue)-Icicle (on bracelet and rose); Teresa Collins vintage ribbon; American Crafts Bakers Twine; and Scor-Tape/Scor-Pal double sided tear tape from ScrapbookPal
We haven't moved yet, but we're ok. As soon as I have a working or functioning kitchen we will be on our way. Until then... most of my supplies are still boxed up, but I opened one box last month and got out my alcohol markers to use on this girl, but because I used chalk ink to stamp her it just smeared the image too much.
TIP: use Ranger archival ink, VersaClair ink or Gina K Amalgam (are my favorite inks) to use with alcohol markers or water coloring, because they don't smear.
So, I stamped her again on a tag... as I can't find ANY of my favorite inks, and I only had chalk ink, which dries quickly, but smears with alcohol markers or water. I also found colored pencils in the box that are not watercolor pencils, but are kind of waxy. I didn't have any pencils that would work for her skin tone, besides barbie pink, and that would have looked ridiculous (lol).
I managed to lightly color her skin with a Copic Marker, ever so carefully as not to touch any of the lines or it would have smeared again. I know "I'm crazy" (lol), but I think she turned out pretty good. Great for a birthday, Galentines Day (Feb 13 to celebrate friendship), Mothers Day & more! What do you think?
