Phew...what a week. I have been getting used to my new crafty non-routine. I've enjoyed the freedom to just make something to make something. I even found a few new challenges. Did you see my Mixed Media Art Journal Page? Scroll down.
I've also been nursing my puppy back to health. An 11 month old Golden with a cone on his head is a handful. I think he has even been a bit depressed. But his Hot Spot is healing and the licking is under control.
Then to top my week off, we have had our first broken bone from one of the boys. Our middle guy, fell on his hand while playing 3v3 soccer the other night and broke his thumb. So, thankful my hubby is an ER physician. He was calm, cool, and knew right what to do. Ryan is doing well, and I am sure the small cast will not slow him down too much. It's only on for 3 weeks!
Needless to say, today's card rang true to my heart! ha! Unity has the coolest stamps.
Today, I pulled out a JUST RELEASED Unity stamp. This one is called Keep Calm Have a Beer. And that's just what I did last night. We enjoyed a little dock-side dinner with some great friends.
I framed up the sentiment with the MFT Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namcis. The cardstock is Soft Suede (one of my favorite browns from SU). I colored in the letters and mug with copics.
I shaded the mug with some of my Cool Grey copics and then used the pointillism coloring technique (using small, quick dabbing motions with the brush tip of your copic in multiple colors). I thought it was a fun way to show off the bubbly drink inside my mug.
Here are the markers I used to color the mug up.
It's Friday on the Unity Blog. So that means it's YOUR turn to link up your Unity creations. We love this day because we get to see how you've been using your Unity stamps. You could even win a prize! Give it a go.
Here is a look at the sale going on this weekend. Along with the new releases, the FREE sentiment set, there is also $4 Shipping!!! woohooo! I always love a good shipping deal.
Have a great weekend.
