Friends of Unity December Hop-My Favorite Things

Hello everyone. Friends of Unity are hopping again. This month is all about our favorite things. 


I thought I would do two of my favorite things. The first is to stamp and color Unity Stamp Co flower stamps. And the second is to pretend I know how to watercolor. I stamped two of my favorite stamps and colored one of the images with my Copic markers and the other one with watercolors.

I stamped My Condolences for my cards. I love this flower image. For the sample above I used Prima Marketing Vintage Pastel watercolors. Below is the card I colored with my Copic markers.
For all four of the cards I used sentiments from Aging Gorgeously.

For the second set of cards I used Everything Joyful & Beautiful. This is a big, lovely image to color. The above card used the same Prima Marketing Vintage Pastel watercolors. The sample below was done with my Copic markers.

Be sure to follow along the blog hop and comment and show the love along the way. Thank you for stopping by.

Alaine-you are here

  1. Alaine, You "pretend" to watercolor very well! I do like what you have done where you colored the same images with 2 different mediums and posted both. All four cards are beautiful!!!
