A Little Chic Fabulous .. Unity Blog Hop

Have I told you lately how much I LOVE Unity..
well just in case I haven't.. I am telling you now!!
Just take a look and you will know why..
 
CHIC Fabulous
this is a new kit being released today..
UK-695A-CHIC-FABULOUS
you get 2 large dress forms, one word, flower and leaf.. you can stamp them on a card..
use them on a layout, or do something even more
fabulous and stamp and apply them to canvas..
I inked these babies up on water colour paper.. then using my NeoColor crayons
I coloured them in with a fine tip paintbrush.. 
I then let dry and applied then on 6x6 thick canvases with gel medium.
( this is applying the gel medium on the canvas..
then the back of the water colour paper then on the front of the watered coloured art.)
 

here they are individually ...
I call this one LOVE.. my favourite word!!
 


Using modeling paste and the Christy Tomlinson's vintage lace mask I got a doily
effect for my background. then adding some random flowers from Petaloo and Pink Paislee
I used my Helmar 450 quick dry glue to adhere them on my canvas.. the LOVE background stamp
is Unity's Layers of Life { never ending story} kit. 


This one I called Fabulous...
Using the techniques as I did on the above canvas..
I love, love that you can do so many things with this kit..
They would make a great present for any girl.. or a fantastic decor item
for your home or office.

I heART Unity!! Just Sayin'

 
Every had one of those days when everything just goes perfect...
 Creative Bliss is what I call it..
Yesterday I had a day off work and wanted to make some cards for today's hop..
 well that changed into 4x4 canvas ART... more my passion ..
 I just LOVE these image I created for the May Kit of the MONTH..
 so beautiful for your canvases...
 
Here are the 2 Canvases I made..
 
Let the BEAUTY we LOVE be what we do... rumi
beautiful sentiment from this kit of the month.. paired with these Dalhia's  I designed.
the colour is so vibrant .. No it did not use water colours... I used my good copics to colour these..
I love how it just pops off the canvas.
 

It was stamped and coloured with copics and paper pieced and using gel medium  it was adhered onto the canvas.. that is why the image is so crisp. Using Textured Modeling Paste for defination..
and some Golden paint for the perfect blue background.

 
Then I could not stop at one.. so I made another.. same 4x4 size using the same copic technique
but the background is made with modeling paste and gelato's by Faber Castell... one of my favourite ways to add colour.. lots of drippage... I just love these dresses I created for the Kit of the Month..
I can't wait to hang this on my wall.  



Well this is the FABULOUS kit of the month for May 2014.. it is called
Hey Girl... and I so adore it..

Handmade Valentine's

 
Hello Thursday!!
I know we have not even begun getting in the mood for Christmas..
It seems like we are hopping forward to Valentine's Day... but, oh what a FUN kit to get some Valentine's Day projects done.
Maybe give some for Christmas presents..
 
http://unitystampco.com/
 
It is nice to be a little ahead of the game..
So I made some Valentine's Day cards..
Clean and Simple.
Easy to make a dozen for your loved ones.. or the kids to give to classmates.
 
 
 

Then I decorated using the same Handmade Valentine's kit a wooden box.. this I will use for my Unity Wood Veneer Tag pieces.. which I totally LOVE.. and need MORE!!
 
details of the box:
Using Archival Black ink I  stamped the images on.. let dry it, only takes a minute , then with some Vintage Photo Distress ink, I distressed the box. added glitter tape and presto it was done..
 
I used one of my wooden tags, stamped the image from the
November 2013 Sentiment kit.. by Lisa Arana
the sentiment was from the
June 2013 Sentiment kit. by Lisa Arana
you will find most of the wood veneer shapes match these sets.



Lastly I made this tag.. Happy Valentine's Day.. great to add on your packages of goodies..

 
to check out more details on this Weekend's Promotions..
 please go to the Unity Blog or Unity Stamp Company Website..
 it will all be there on the front screen.

Unity Layers of Life July

Hi everyone.. I made this beautiful canvas art yesterday using Unity's Layers of Life July kit .
Love Truly ( Through Time) 




First I painted my background yellow and added a stencil with some white paint. Then using white tissue paper
 I inked up the stamps . Using my favourite inks Lady Bug red, Bahama Blue and Tuxedo Black by Momento 
I inked and stamped on one layer of tissue paper then using mod podge to adhere it to my canvas.. Because 
It is tissue paper you can layer it on top of each other and still see the full designs. Then I let that dry and
painted my focal image on top.
 
 






You cam become a member of the Layers of Life club here.. 


Have a great day...
