Growing in Unity Day 1 Bird House Stamping

I am so excited to be sharing my creations using Unity stamps as their Growing In Unity Girl this week.

Paper crafting and card making are things I post most often here.

This week I hope to share even more ways that I incorporate these amazing red rubber stamps into my projects.

Today, I am sharing my stamped cedar wood bird house.

And here is a close up:

I wanted a natural wooden background for the flowers.

I masked the flowers and the imagine word for the look I was going for.

Here are some of the items that I used for this project, plus colored pencils. {I recommend using white paint on the white layer instead of craft ink.}

For outdoor placement, stamp with paint instead of ink, drying between layers, then seal.

This was my inspiration "New Beginnings". Photo taken from my yard this Spring.
