Unity HOP June 7, 2017

WOOHOO!  Time for a new release HOP with Unity.

There are some super-cute new kits available today for amazing prices and lots of other fabulous sales too (see the banners at the end of this post!).

I have 3 cards meant to inspire you.

First up is the Glowing & Beautiful Kit from Angie Blom.  Don't forget that she is one talented artist and does so much more than just her Angie Girls.  This kit has a beautiful image and 2 sentiments.  The panel for the image is die cut with a Sizzix die and then splattered using a Tim Holtz stencil and distress ink.  The light bulbs were colored with Prismacolor pencils and then fussy cut and popped on with foam tape. I added a few sequins and there you have it.

 
Here's one from Tierra Jackson called Speedy.  I did the background first with distress inks and a lots of water to get the feel of him being in the water.  (TIP:  Tape your watercolor paper down with painter's tape on all four sides.  This helps the panel to stay flat as it dries.)  Speedy is colored with distress markers.  I added some Stickles to the hearts and a few extra little water bubbles.  I finished this off with a wooden heart that I colored red to add a pop of color.
 
 
Last (and honestly my favorite!) is Hello Little Birdie from Tierra Jackson and Angie Blom. I stamped the image and sentiment on a kraft cardstock panel and then colored that adorable little birdie with Prismacolor pencils.  I added the background last using a MFT cloud stencil and chalk pastels in both blue and white.  I think it almost looks like it's going to storm and that poor birdie is sitting there just waiting for it-LOL!


So you know that a Unity HOP means prizes!  Just leave some sweet words of encouragement for each of us hopping and on the Unity blog too to be eligible for one of two awesome Unity prize packages.  Winners will be announced Monday evening on the Unity blog.

Meanwhile, I promised more on the sales this weekend.
