Friends of Unity~ March is Creativity


Hey there!!
Welcome to Robyn's Nest!
Our theme for this month is Creativity!!
At first I was stumped, then one of these wonderful ladies said we could "be creative" and use a technique...well that's all I needed to brainstorm! 
I chose to use the Shaving Cream technique for my background
All you do is squirt any type of shave cream
 NOT GEL
on a paper plate
next you use your reinkers and drip them randomly onto the shave cream
Then using a butter knife, you swirl the ink into the shave cream
here is a video from Gina K ..it's under 5 minutes, so check it out. ok 😉
I used 
Whatever Comes Next stamp set..
 red and chocolate brown cardstock from PTI
some pretty green crinkle ribbon, and a matching brad to hold the sentiment to the ribbon.
 Sometimes I like my sentiments to move and not be stationary 
I sent this card to sweet Bobbie Sue (i heart you)

 

March is my birthday month, and it's also my beautiful daughters, too
🎂
She will be 22, and guess what?? 
She is pregnant with a boy
                                                    
I cannot wait to meet the little guy at the beginning of July 👶

I hope you try this technique!!
It was super easy, and fast!
Up next is Dawn

to see what she has for your viewing pleasure 😉
To start from the beginning, 


Until next month!
Inky Hugs, Robyn
