Light Still Lives Here ~ Hope in the Heavy with Cottage Lane ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Sometimes life is hard and the darkness seems to take over... I pray you look to the light in the moment because it's there. Today I'm sharing sweet reminder that the light still lives here using two new releases from Unity. 

I stamped the gorgeous Cottage Lane background stamp on Kraft card stock and colored it with Copic markers and a white Prismacolor pencil. And then I die cut it using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. Once the background was dry, I added some white acrylic paint spatters. I adhered the dried panel to a white A2 top fold card base.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Browns: E21, E25

Greens: YG63

Chimney: N2

Shadows for the White Areas: C0, C2

Have you played along with our Creating a Background Challenge happening right now in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group? Background stamps are a great way to create a background for a card. I sure hope you'll join us. There's (3) $25 gift cards up for grabs... all you've got to do is enter a card where you've created a background for a chance to win one of the prizes.

I stamped the lovely sentiment from the Hope in the Heavy stamps. I trimmed it and popped it up on the card with foam tape. Hope you've been inspired to play along with the Creating a Background Challenge. We'd love to have you join in the fun! And I hope my encouraging card has brought some light to you if your feeling like you're in the darkness. Hugs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky hugs,

Crystal
