[1.22.2105] unity thursday hop
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.
I’m inking up the new sentiment kit for this month’s {Be Inspired} challenge. There are a variety of different sentiments to choose from. Many can be used for the front or inside of cards depending on what you’d like to say.
I started out with embossing the heart and sentiment on vellum. I tried out tons of different patterned paper to put underneath. So many were too bold or busy and made it hard to see the sentiment. So, I used some watercolor to create the blue-green background paper. Much softer. I was too impatient to let the watercolor paper dry completely so I sewed the vellum on. It puckered in an interesting way and I kinda love it. It is puffy and crinkly in a cool soft way. I think I’m going to play around with this idea again and create a set in different colors with different sentiments in the set.

What a lovely card!!! How interesting to stumble on something so pretty as sewing the vellum on the damp watercolor paper. I can’t really see the puckering in the photo, but I love the soft look of this very beautiful and heartfelt card.
