Welcome back! It's Day 3 of Growing In Unity and I got to try a new technique today!
Before I go into that, remember that there are two (yes, 2) $20 gift cards up for grabs for two lucky random commenters so be sure to head back to Day 1's Post Here to see both Day 1 and Day 2 and comment there.
Isn't this background stamp image simply amazing?! Look at the detail! This is the Daisy Days stamp from Unity Stamp Co. This is a full card sized image but I wanted space for a sentiment so I put some washi tape down and stamped the full image over it. I then pulled the washi tape up (and got Versafine ink all over my fingers from not paying attention) and had a blank space. I pulled out the "Bloom from Within" stamp set and stamped the sentiment in the blank space.
I loved how this turned out so quickly and so detailed, that I made two other cards like it with different colors in the background. This is the one I liked best as I just adore the black details on Kraft cardstock. I love keeping things simple but by all means, add ideas in your comments about embellishments for this card so I have some things to play around with.
See you back tomorrow for Day 4!

I love this card! The washi tape left a great sentiment area, love that it doesn't look perfectly even. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Great technique! Putting that in the memory bank! Great card!
I love this stamp and the fact that you stamped on Kraft. Great Job.
Very elegant and a great way to add the sentiment.
Absolutely love black on kraft and you did a wonderful job. If you do any embellishment, I would say maybe a black sequin or nuvo drop on the side of the sentiment.
Lovely design! Looks so elegant on the kraft background!
This is incredible! I have this background stamp and can’t wait to try this. I love the creative idea and it looks amazing. Thank you for the inspiration!
Awesome card! I like how you made the sentiment area. Great tip.
