Growing in Unity - Day 4

Welcome to day 4 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  
Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.


I made this for a gentleman who sings in our church choir, and is just retiring from his job after 30 years.  He's an avid hunter/fisherman, so I used a piece of WRMK designer paper that has this stag on it.  The stamp set I'm using today is called, "Sing a New Song".  It's one of my favorites and I felt it would be the perfect set to use for this card, embracing the recipient's love of music and hunting. 


I used the sentiment and musical notes from the kit, stamping with Colorbox archival ink in Saddle.  I did a little water coloring around the sentiment as well.




For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from the "Everything More" sentiment kit.  This kit is a staple and has a perfect sentiment for just about any occasion.  I inked up the edges of the musical note paper with the same ink.



Come back tomorrow for more Unity inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

    What an awesome card for a man! We freak out over making cards for men because we wonder if it will be "manly" enough. This one is perfect for both his love of music and hunting! What an interesting pairing! And it worked! Great job!

    Great card. The men in the family are hunters/fisherman. They would like this card. Love the grass/wheat in the design. Adding the music - you hits all bases.

    Masculine cards are so hard. Don't want to make 'em too plain....or too fru-fru. This is perfect.

    The deer head looks cool. It would be great for a man. I like the colors you chose, though, because they are anything but manly.
