[1.30.2014] unity thursday hopping fun

Yay for Thursday

Happy Friday EVE… the Unity Design team is celebrating (like we do every week) with a fun
hop.  If you have been hopping you should be arriving from Joslyn’s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

I don’t think I’ve shown anything from this month’s Kit of the Month yet!  Eeek.  That is just plain awful.  We are going to solve that today!

I seriously LOVE this kit.  It is full of stunning stamps.  I admit it, I grabbed my favorites first.  Here is a look at the kit again, just because it is so beautiful.

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

I stamped the circle woodgrain on the card base three times in random directions.  I wanted to put my butterfly at the center where they overlap.  So I stamped three butterflies in different colors, trimmed them out and then stapled them together.  They look so pretty fanned out.  I popped it up on the card with foam adhesive.  Next, I stamped my sentiment and glued it to the front.  Last came the pretty sequins.  They just seemed necessary.  My color palette for this card came from the current {be inspired} challenge.  Have you played along yet?  You should, the prize is amazing.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
