You may have arrived from Emily's blog.

Sentiment:  Thanks for being so kind.

These sweet stamps make wonderful greeting cards for different occasions.  I wanted a thank you card, so MCT to the rescue.  This was put together with a bit of heat embossing in white onto vellum.  I used a blue cardstock card base and finished with twine and adhesive gems.  This was simple and quick to do.

Autumn watercolor card with colored pencil shading.

For Watercolor Wednesday, I am sharing an Autumn card using watercolor with colored pencil shading.

Sentiment:  
Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb,
a lovely garden in a seed
and a giant oak in an acorn.
William Arthur Ward

For this card, I added layers of watercolor onto a die-cut watercolor paper layer.  Once dried, I stamped over it.  The acorns were colored with more watercolor and shaded with colored pencil.  

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.

I also made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Bible journal stamping + Prima chalk edger watercolor.

For Watercolor Wednesday, I am sharing bible journal stamping along with Prima chalk watercolor.

Sentiment:  The Lord hears when you call.

Here is a way to add art for bible journaling.  I am showing a way to add bible journal stamping along with Prima chalk edger colors for watercolor.  This type of watercolor is great for the thin bible pages and for stamping onto dry surfaces.  After the page was dry, I lightly iron the page to remove some of the wrinkles.  Then, I stamped using different colors of the Prima chalk edgers.

The thing I like most about these chalk inks is that the ink will not bleed through to the back of the page.  You see a light shadow, but no more than the existing page print shadow.

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.

I also made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
