Growing in Unity Day 4

Day 4 in my GIU Week! Wahoo!

 Today I made a card for my dear DH, our Anniversary is coming up on 2/22 and we will have been married for 15 years! So excited, to celebrate this milestone with him and I just wanted to make a little something form the heart to let him know I love him..

All of this paper was in my paper stash so unfortunately I can not tell you where it is from.







This card is 4x6
I used a scalloped circle nestabilites die and cut and embossed it then I sued vintage photo distress ink on it
I did the same to the brown circle
I then stamped the Owl image from the {ippity} set Wise Guy to the brown circle and then on Patterned Paper and cut it out minus the feet and adhered with foam adhesive to the brown circle..

I then cut a strip of brown and blue and glued them together and placed some TH brads on it
I stamped the sentiment with Black ink by Unity

All papers on the card with the exception of the nestabilities cuts were distressed with the Heidi Swapp edge destresser.

Don't forget to leave me some bloggy love for your chance to win some Unity goodness.  I will pick the winner on Sunday.

  9. Great use of colors -- the blue in the owl pulls the blue in the pattern paper on the outside and frames it perfectly. Love the owl!
