~ Friends of Unity December 2022 Blog Hop ~ Giveaway Winners Announced ~

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today is a very exciting day... the day that I announce the winners for the Friends of Unity prizes from our 5 year celebration!! First of all, I have to thank all of you for coming to visit our blogs! So many wonderful comments and we appreciate every single one of you that took the time to hop along with us! Thank you so much!

I'm still celebrating!! I thought I'd share one more card. I didn't quite get this one done in time for the hop so I thought it would be fun to share it today.

I used the beautiful Goodness of Life stamps for this card. A mix of paper piecing and copic coloring! I pulled the colors from the pattern paper I had chosen. And I think the strip of glitter paper compliments the pattern paper nicely. The pretty papers are called Petal Garden DSP from Stampin' Up and the glitter paper is from the Myths & Magic 6x6" glitter paper, also from Stampin' Up.

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

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, E04

Hair ~ E70, E74, E79

Top ~ R00, R12, R22

Cake ~ R12, R22, BG0000, BG11, BG32, Y06

Champagne ~ R00, R12, R22, C2

Presents ~ BG0000, BG11, BG32, R00, R12, R22

Bow ~ BG0000, BG11, BG32

Congratulations, Mary Brown!!

Rachel and Mary, please email me at crystalominkler@gmail.com with your mailing addresses to claim your prize!! You have two weeks to claim your prize.

I mentioned a few times that this or that card was my favorite and really it's hard to choose when it comes to the cards you've created, but I wanted to share my all time favorite for my week.

I honestly have a couple favorites but this one right here was THE card I had in my head for the longest time just waiting for my GIU week. And it took me three tries to get it just right! When you work that hard on a card... it gets a special place in your heart! So this sweet bunny soaring through those galaxy clouds is my favorite! Do you have a favorite?! I'd love to hear your favorite.

Thanks again for a fabulous week and for checking out my blog!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Why is this my favorite? Well, honestly, because I struggled with this one the most. I started with my color combination and really wasn't sure how the design would go... but it turned out way better than I could have hoped for... so this lovely card is my favorite. I do adore this Emerson Girl stamp!! Which one was your favorite? I'd love to hear... just leave me a comment if you have a minute.

Thanks again for stopping by!
