GIU 8/26/24

Welcome to my Growing in Unity week for Unity Stamp Company!  This week, I'm featuring Unity stamps in all of my creations.  I've been stamping with Unity for well over a decade now; I think I got my first stamps from them in 2011 or 2012!

This card is for a friend of mine whose birthday is later in the week. She is a yoga instructor whose favorite color is purple. Time to pop it in the mail! 

I used two inks and a stamp (that was already dirty with blue ink, a happy accident) to create the variety of colors you see on this card.  By stamping twice, I was able to get a dark and a light version of each color; this is a great way to stretch your ink collection if you don't have a huge selection of colors.  What is your favorite ink to work with?  Of the ones I've tried, I really enjoy Ranger Archival, which is what I used on this card.

Be sure to come back each day this week and leave a comment; two lucky commenters will win a prize from Unity.  How cool is that?!?
