GIU - Growing In Unity Gal Wednesday

I'm featuring stamps from Unity Stamp Company each day this week.  Be sure to visit all week and comment on each of the Growing In Unity posts, because there will be a drawing for some FREE UNITY STAMPS from all of the comments received during the week.  Unity Stamp Company is providing TWO generous prizes of 25 stamp grab-bags each.
 
Today's project was inspired by a "stars" theme.  There are stars on the boat stamp and the sentiment stamp, as well as on the kraft paper layer.
 

   

 

Tip:  Line images don't always need to be colored in!  

Just like yesterday's focal image and sentiment, today's stamps are Itty Bitties designed by Webster's Pages.  This one is called Celebrate.  The patterned papers are from a 6" by 6" pad full of cute nautical patterns from Carta Bella.  The round "No 1" sticker is from Pink Paislee.
 
Thank you for visiting my blog today!  Remember to comment on each of this week's posts to maximize your chance to win.  (One comment per person per post, please.)  Winners have been drawn.  Thank you!
      
Happy Stamping!

Weekly Challenge #16 - April Showers

April is more than half over (can you believe how fast time is flying?), and we can't get to the May flowers without the April showers, so that's this week's challenge - April Showers. 

Our team is showcasing the Pink Paislee "Hello Sunshine" collection.  There are such cute umbrellas, raindrops, and flowers in this collection!  They even have a stamp set and a coordinating die.
      

      
I tried a number of colors for my card base.  The lighter colors that matched the patterned papers made the card look too washed out.  The deep, bright blue made things really pop!   The "be the rainbow" focal image is actually one of the pocket cards just cut a little bit to square off the corners.  Also included are ephemera, puffy heart stickers, and the umbrella die (which I cut twice -- once for the yellow handle & tip, and again for the flower canopy).

        
Happy (Spring) Stamping!
