Growing in Unity ~ Day 1 ~ Shine Bright!

I am beyond excited to be a Growing in Unity girl this week!!! 

I'll be sharing my love of Unity Stamp Company with you for the next 5 days!! 

Today, I have a quick and cute Christmas card inspired by one of the challenges over at the Unity {Show & Tell} Facebook Group. If you aren't a member of that group, you really should be. There is so much wonderful inspiration shared in that group by not just the Unity Design Team, but also the talented and creative customers of Unity! 

For both of these cards, I used the Wintertime Friends kit! I stamped the images and the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then I colored using Prismacolor pencils. I kept the coloring very simple by just highlighting the snowman and the bit of snow on the ground. There's also some glossy accents on the heart buttons, but that doesn't show up on the picture. I used up some of my Christmas paper stash! *gasp* I have so much... and it's really so fun to use these pretty Christmas papers! I kept these simple, but you could easily add ribbon, sequins, buttons, or Nuvo drops... the possibilities are endless!

I sure hope you liked my first post for my GIU week! Come back tomorrow... I'll be featuring stamps from a couple of Unity's great membership subscriptions! You won't want to miss it!
