FWF--LOTS of pics and info about a giveaway!

Hello, friends:}


It's Friday--which means FWF over on the Unity blog!! Be sure to stop HERE for a complete list of participants!! We sure do love all your comments and support! 


I've got lots to share with you...so hang in there! Plus--I've got some news at the bottom for next week! Giveaways....just saying!!!

My first creation was inspired by the FWF72 card by Ashley Newell [on the left]. I was inspired by her colors and simplicity of the card. I was actually skyping/crafting with Ashley when I made this card! She helped me out--I was flustered because my misting didn't work and she helped me "regroup" and create this beauty!! Also--I found out that Ashley does not like embossing--which I did for the blooms {Unity: Wayword Blooms} and the butterfly {Unity: Small Things Matter Most}. I just love that teal embossing--I just got 12 new colors! And the sentiment is from Unity: Encompassed Grace}. The white around the embossed blooms is a technique that I read about over on SCS. I used my finger instead of a tissue **NOTE:: I cannot think of what this technique is called! Sorry! LOVE how this turned out!

My next card is a special birthday card for a friend! She loves my cards--and I knew this year I had to make something extra fun! I used the Card Positioning Systems sketch for my design. I also used my new S.E.I. Happy Day papers. I inked a lot of Unity stamps:: sentiment  and heart {To The Moon & Back}, butterfly and sentiment {Small Things Matter Most}, clouds {Could I Be Any Cuter?}, tag {Togetherness Icons}, tickets {Simply Magical}. Whew! That was a lot of stamping--and of course, I think of this AFTER the Stamping Royalty challenge ends over at Paper Crafts! That is how It works! LOL! 

For my last card, I used the inspiration photo for Cupcake Inspirations. I have missed playing along with them! Love these super cute animals and gnome cupcakes! I used Unity's Autumn Pals stamps for this card. I paper pieced everything--and that tree trunk is made of cork. I love the distressed tag--makes it a bit softer with that bright red paper {Bo Bunny Ad Lib}.
