Friends of Unity~ August 2020

Hey there, welcome to Robyn's Nest!!

For this months cue, we chose Sympathy

Before I get to the details of my card, I want to announce the answer to my question for last month

Q~ who was the past design team member, from the UK that is the  Queen of Paper Piecing??

Answer is~ Sharon Nettleship***
I got an email from Karen Ladd with the correct answer!!

Congratulations Karen!!

I have already sent out the prize (June 202 Kit of the Month) and a little extra ;)

For my sympathy card, I chose to use

Outside Your Window

For this image, I saw it being water colored easily...after water coloring it, I use my Copic markers very carefully to darken the "grout"

Here is a close up of the sentiment

I had to have this sentiment set when it came out by Ann Butler Designs

Dash of Encouragement

After I finished this card, and took the pictures, I began to clean up a bit, and under some paper I found this perfect bow...I have it taped down on the backside of the card...I wanted to get an opinion...keep the bow, or lose the bow...I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

With the bow

That's it for me this month...

Hey there  :) 

Welcome to my blog !! 

I am so happy to share this sweet card with you this week!!

Being a part of Coffee Loving Papercrafters Facebook group, and Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog is so amazing for me!!

I never thought in a million years I'd be asked to take part with such talented women. I am still pinching myself, if I'm being honest.

I will be posting a card, one Wednesday a month,and this is my January card.

I really hope you like it  :) 

Let's chat about this card for a moment, ok. 

This sweet girl is from Unity Stamp Company's  new line called Planner Girls.

They are smaller than their Angie's Girl stamps, but as you know, Unity doesn't make small stamps-EVER! LoL 

She doesn't have a name like the Angie's, but you can find her by clicking here> Stay Cozy

I started out stamping her with Memento Black ink, colored her in with Copics. 

Then I used Craftin' Desert Divas (<link) Fancy Frame Dies to cut her out. I used Papertrey Ink white cardstock as my base, then grabbed a piece of printed cardstock, too.

I used Stampin' Up! Pool Party for the blue layer, and the little piece for the sentiment.

The sentiment is also from Unity, from the Itty Bitty line, called Cup of Love.

I used pink embossing powder on it :) 

I don't know if you can see it, but under the top, white layer and over all the other layers, I used a piece glitter tulle to cover the entire card, and trimmed it some. I am going to so sad when I run out of that tulle. I bought it and 6 other glitter colors at JoAnn's 4 years ago, and I have not seen it since then  :( 

This sticker is so amazing!

It is from Essentials (Sandy Lion) 

It was a gift to me from my friend Eileen Mathys for Christmas!

I just love it, and I will be buying more of them :) 

This pretty little flower came with the same sticker set!! Too cute  :) 

Well, that's my card for this month! I hope you like it, too.

I can't wait for next month!

Valentine's Day!

I already have an idea spinning around in my head!! 

See you then  ;)
