Friends of Unity January 2020 blog hop

Hello everyone. Boy December just flew by in a whirl wind of activity. I can't believe it's time for the Friends of Unity blog hop again. I hope you take a minute to check out everyone's blog. This month should be good. We are doing out favorite Unity stamp of 2019. It was so hard to choose, there were so many good ones released last year.



I'm going to jump right in with my first card. See I told I had a hard time picking. Please be sure to scroll down to the end. I am posting the winner from last months hop and you will find all the links for all the talented ladies hopping this month.

The Owl & the Moon set was a late in the year release, it quickly won my heart. I used Hearts All Over and Gina K Red Hot ink to stamp the back ground. The owl was colored with Copics as follows: Owl-R24, R27, R29, owl belly-E50, E51. Moon-Y08, Y11, Y15.

Friendship Blooms became one of my favorite floral stamps. I have used it so many ways. This time I colored it with my new Zig Clean color brush markers. They are so much fun. I used Violet, Deep Violet, Yellow and Olive Green markers and used a Prismacolor Violet pencil to deepen the shadows. The background was created with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber and the Chained Hexagon stencil from Gina Marie Designs.

Now for the winner from last months hop. Cathy Rendek, please email me at alainet@comcast.net and I will send you a prize package.

Be sure to hop along with everyone and leave comments. There are more prizes this month.

Alaine-you are here

  7. Both so different and both great cards! I have a weakness for florals, so would naturally default to your second card. I love the way you've made them pop by using the complementary yellow for the background!
