Happy Friday! I have one last project to share. This one will go to a friend who has been having some life changes on top of the transition to working from home.
I stamped
Clara Girl and was lucky to find a tiny sentiment from
Succulent Salutations that just barely fit on her laptop! Do you see her cute slippers? This girl understands daytime pajamas and nighttime pajamas, right? :) If you don't have Succulent Salutations, do take a look. It is one of my most-used kits. I think that's in part because the sentiments are compact so they fit on many cards. I sometimes don't plan my whole design out and then find my sentiments don't quite fit. Oops!
After my stamping, I inked around her. Then I attached the layer with foam tape, tied on a gold bow, and used some white and gold Nuvo drops for decoration. I cannot recommend highly enough that you pre-make your dots. I'd been avoiding this for ages and I finally saved the backing from some postage stamps to make some dots on. Once they've dried for several days they really hold up so much better than when you put them directly on your project. No fear of them squishing onto the envelope this way. I do recommend tweezers for placement, however.
Remember to leave a comment on this post, and on every post this
week. Unity Stamp Company graciously provides a grab bag of 25 stamps
to two random commenters this week and every GIU week! I'll have a
prize that I'll personally send out to someone who comments and answers
the question at the bottom of the post.
What will you do this weekend? I think it's time for me to start mowing the grass for the season. Usually I try to wait for April 1st and so if it's dry this weekend, it's time to start.
I hope you are staying safe and well during this challenging time.
