Welcome to day 3 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.
Today's mixed media project is titled "Grunge Love". Love is kind of messy, right? And, with Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought I'd get all mushy, uh, I mean messy. ;)
I did a whole lot of distressing to this stamped/hand-cut Unity heart (Everything Love Jan 2014 sentiment kit) including embossing the card stock with my Cuttlebug and using Ranger embossing powder in black and white. I sanded the raised edges a bit and then had a happy little accident with ink on my knuckle. Haha, so I decided to add a couple more inked "knuckle" dots to my design. The Love You sentiment is also from the same kit.
Here's a close-up of the finished heart. Notice the inked doily? I used my Unity Grainy background stamp, dabbed Tim Holtz Picket Fence distress ink all over my stamp, and stamped in a criss-cross pattern on a Maya Road kraft doily. I dried it quick, with my embossing heat tool.
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!
