Feel the Joy {Growing In Unity: Day 2}

Welcome to day 2 of my week as the Growing In Unity gal!

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!

And, of course, I'd love it if you sign up to be a follower!
