For my first card, I used the new "Beautiful, Crooked Path" kit by Gina K Designs. The heart is so pretty, it kinda reminded me of a stained glass - so I stamped it on some vellum and colored it with my Spectrum Noir sparkle marker brushes; which gives it a nice glitter and shine to it.
For the background, I played with some Ranger Alcohol Inks and yupo paper. I tried using normal cardstock, the alcohol inks would not flow and blend as easy as on yupo, so you may want to get some of these specialty papers. I just added some "Stream" and "Sunshine Yellow" alcohol inks and added lots of blending solution. I also mixed in some Gold mixative to add some shine.

For my next card, I used the background stamp called "Lots of Love" by Brutus Monroe. I LOVE this stamp!! I created the background with some Tim Holtz distress oxides ink and I blended the ink in using an acrylic block! *YUPS*! Thanks to Jennifer Mcguire for the inspiration. I love how the colors turned out.
For the flowers, it is from the "I am with you" [Sentiment Kit October 2018]; which I colored in using the distress oxide inks as well.

Next, I used the "You Will" kit by Jake Wangen & Joslyn Nielson and stamped it on some kraft paper; then tore the edges to create a distressed look. I didn't want to add too much to the card because the lady is the focal point and she's beautiful enough. So I did an easy glitter distressed border using just some tacky glue and Tim Holtz distress glitters [mustard seed, shabby shutters, antique linen].

Next, is this beautiful stamp set called "Friendship Blooms" by Gina K Designs. I am obssessed! I stamped it on watercolor cardstock and used Jane Davenport's mermaid markers to color the floral and background in. I love how a little goes a long way and how vibrant the colors are. Pssstttt, I added some twine also just to (literally) tie it all in :)

And finally, I stamped the "Blooming Peonies" by Angie Blom on some watercolor cardstock and went color happy with my Altenew watercolors. I wanted some loose watercolor and gradient effect. Oh, and did I mention that this stamp set is HUGE?? The card I made measures about 6.5" x 4.25"
So, hurry on to Unity Stamp website and shop your heart out. Pssst, there's a sales going on right now!
