Video Day for Unity Thursday

Time for some more THURSDAY fun with the Unity design team.  If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog.  There’s always fun stuff going on.
We start a brand new {Be Inspired} Challenge today and it is a beauty.

smile it’s your day

dahlhouse designs | 6.2015 smile its your day

I used the brand new Smile It’s Your Day stamp kit with the colors from the challenge.  I stamped on watercolor paper and then colored with Distress Inks.  It was super easy using a waterbrush.  I added some glitter glue to the flowers, but the camera didn’t quite pick up the shine.

I also have some videos and cards to share from the past.  Trying to catch up.

This is my dad’s Father’s Day card.  We celebrated it early, so I am safe to share.   🙂  Here is a quickie video showing how this all came together.

 

frankly said

dahlhouse designs | 6.2015 awesome giftcard

When I designed Frankly Said, I had this idea in mind.  I’m always giving gift cards… always.  There are thousands of ways to dress up a gift card holder and now I have the prefect stamp to help me out.

I have a quickie video for this as well.  I love how water interacts with Distress Inks.  So pretty.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.
We’ll be giving away 2 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.

Here are all the girls hopping today…  just click on the next pretty girl in line.

    As usual, amazing cards, Lisa! You are really showing how it’s done watercoloring with distress inks. 😉 And I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the fish bg in action — looks great!

    the paper and layering on the second card is so pretty. have several fishermen in the family and this would be great to use for them. the flowers in the first card are so soft and pastel. Beautiful.
    thanks for sharing.
