Stay tuned each day this week as I show you something I've created using stamps from Unity Stamp Company...and be sure to comment on all five of my Growing In Unity posts this week if you want a chance to win some free stamps!
If you are new here or aren't already a follower: I'd love to have you follow my blog!
If you are one of my regular readers: Thanks for coming back! I love having you!
Today I will be sharing two projects with you. Both feature the Feel the Joy Itty Bitty.
This first one is a card. I stamped the flowers from Feel the Joy with bleach. I used a heat gun to quickly process the images and then stamped the sentiment (from my All About Hope kit) to finish the card.
For the next one I created a bookmark - again stamping with an unusual "ink". I stamped the flowers from Feel the Joy with Elmer's school glue. Stamping with glue acts as a resist (similar to embossing). I then used a paintbrush to add some mists (first sprayed on a craft sheet), and then wiped away to reveal the resist image. When stamping with glue you won't get as crisp of an image as you will with heat embossing - but I love the effect.
Thanks for stopping by today - and don't forget to leave a comment so you can win some stampy goodness!

Wow! I never knew you could stamp with glue! Do you let it dry overnight? Both your card and tag are beautiful, I love this set!
These are both so pretty! Love that flower stamp and the colors you used. I have stamped with bleach before, but never tried glue! Very nice looks on both of your projects!
Gorgeous card! The bleach technique looks fantastic!
Gorgeous! Love the inking on your tag!
What neat techniques - thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card, I am a bit hesitant to try bleach, I really should.
I always love the way bleach looks, but I'm quite sure I'd ruin everything around me if I tried it. This is beautiful!
Love them both. Such unique "inks" you've used.
Adorable! I don't think I can read your blog that often. It gives me too many ideas.
Great techniques on your projects!

These are wonderful, especially loving the ombre effect on the bookmark!
Gorgeous background with that beautiful flower. Love it in white with the turquoise. So pretty.
These are beautiful Tifany!
Oh my. The colors are wonderful. I think you have inspired me to break out the bleach.
Simple and lovely! Gorgeous colors and fabulous technique!
Those are both so pretty! I'm wondering how you apply the bleach to the stamp. Paintbrush, sponge? I will definitely have to try bleach. Love learning new tips.
These are two very interesting techniques that I have never heard of! I'll have to set aside some time to 'play'!
Great techniques! I love the stamp! When stamping with glue, do you put a puddle of it down and tap your stamp in it? Or do you apply the glue with a brush?
Beautiful! Love the colors!
So pretty! LOVE the colors!

"Beautiful card ~ I love the sentiment. Love the color you chose for the bookmark."
Wow, I never even though about using glue as a resist but what a great look! These tags are just so beautiful.
Lovely colors and great technique!
