Personalized birthday balloons bunny watercolor card.

Here is a sweet birthday card featuring a bunny and balloons.  It is personalized and includes a bit of watercolor.
This is part of the Unity Stamp Co. 11th birthday celebration.
To celebrate further, we have an Insta Hop over on Instagram @neatnook so go take a look and hop along with us there.  Look for the birthday graphic for the hop details.

Sentiment:  Happy Birthday.  Yay.

This card was made for a special little girl.  For watercolor, I used watercolor pencils with the stamping.  This was die-cut with frame and letter dies, to personalize.  I used patterned paper for the background.  For an added accent, I made a small sentiment flag.

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

Graduation watercolor card for a nurse.

This watercolor card was made special for a graduating nurse.  It was personalized for her and was accented in pink and gray.

Sentiment:

Congrats Nurse.  Behind you all your memories, before you all your dreams, around you all who love you, within you all you need.

This is a remake of similar ones I have made in the past, but personalized.

Memorial Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

This one is near and dear to my heart.

Sentiment:  She was full of hope.

This is a vintage mixed media style scrapbook layout page, dedicated to my lovely mama.

She really was full of hope.  I miss her dearly.

I made this for a Unity release.  When I saw this stunning sentiment and heart, I knew just how to use them.  I had to make a tribute to her with them.

Here is a quick tip video tutorial for this layout page.

Hello, it's Gaylynn here with a post for the Unity Stamp Co. blog hop.

This sweet mama and baby giraffe is from the kit Finally Here by Tierra Jackson.

This card was made for my niece's daughter and for her first birthday party.

So, I personalized it by adding her name, Jadyn, (not part of the kit).

I made a quick tip video tutorial on the bow and button embellishment for this card.

Tea Party Shaker Card

Another shaker card.

This time for my niece's vintage birthday tea party invitations.

Front sentiment:  It's a little party.

I mixed metallic sequins and star iridescent glitter confetti to accent the adorable tea kettle and cups.

Of course, it sparkles much more in person.

Baby Shower Strawberries & Glitter Card

My niece is having a little girl soon and her name is Juna Monroe.

This glitter and watercolor card is personalized just for her.

The biggest inspiration for this card came from her {strawberry} themed baby shower and from the tiny {red shoes} her Mommy featured in her sweet "it's a girl" announcement pictures that also included big brother.

Glitter and lace came to mind for her name and trim.
The strawberries, leaves and blossoms are in watercolor.
