Our theme for May is...
Amazing, right? So many things have wings and so many ideas went through my head! My biggest challenge was deciding "what" to use and "how" to use it. As I continue with my "New Years Resolution" to use my Unity stamps or products I haven't ever used before.
And combined that with a few of my favorite things, like heat embossing, coloring, and ink smooshing.
So here's what I came up with...

So here's what I came up with...
Card #1: Hello
I love flowers and butterflies and combined them to make some Mother's Day cards, which you still have time today do too! Or these are all great stamps to use all year long for many other occasions.
I have loved this BIG flower background for a while and finally got to use it. Yay! It is truly beautiful with or without anything else on it, but in keeping with our theme, I added a few butterflies. Which are near and dear to my heart, as they represent resurrection, a spirit animal, or means an angel is near.
As some of you know, I lost my younger sister 4yrs ago to breast cancer and when I see a butterfly it is comforting to believe she or another angel maybe nearby. I know the holidays can be hard for those of you who have lost a loved one and please know my heart goes out to you and you are in my thoughts as I extend a virtual hug from across the miles. {{hugs}}

Supplies used:
Unity Inked Florals (past background stamp)
Unity Butterfly Endearment (large butterfly in heart)
Unity ...An Ungloomy Day stamp set (tiny butterflies and "Hello" sentiment)
Unity Autumn Dream pattern paper pack
Big Shot die cutting machine
Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Heart Dies (Unity has these now too!)
Spectrum Noir alcohol marker-Pink PP5 (around the heart edges)
Gina Marie Products-Pleated Lace Rectangle Die Set (border)
Unity Romantic Expressions paper pack (skirt, shoes, & background)
MISTI stamping tool
Versamark clear ink
Ranger Ink-Gold Embossing Powder
Marvy Uchida Heat Tool
Prismacolor pencils and water brush
Ranger Ink-Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick & Broken China (slightly mixed made the purplish heart background)
Papertrey Ink white 110lb cardstock
tear tape adhesive (scor-tape/scro-pal) from Scrapbookpal
Card #2: Happy Mother's Day
My next card I knew I wanted to use this sweet little "itty bitty" stamp set that believe it or not, I've never used either! I know... right!?! It's so cute!
It comes complete with these darling daisies and this sentiment. I knew I needed to "add" something with wings though and had leftover butterflies, so added one of those.
But I felt it needed a bit more... then I remembered I got the "Happy World" stamp set that donates $5 to Ukraine and that set had a bee stamp in there and that was perfect for this card.
This was pretty fast and easy with some leftover paper scraps (National colors of Ukraine) and backed with this amazing pink plaid patterned paper that looks like a picnic blanket.
I kept both cards pretty flat mailing. What do you all think?
