So to celebrate my new bionic wrist - HA - I decided to play along with today's Unity Friends with Flair blog hop!! Woohoo!!! I looooooooooove Unity stamps, but I haven't done a whole lot to be part of the whole Unity world. But... it's a world I wanna enter, LOL! So this is my first little knock on their door.... :-)
When I saw this Classic Beauty stamp at Archiver's it was love at first sight for me. Gorgeous! I decided to embellish it up with some decorative pearls and a little ribbon sash. I did a bit of stitching along the scallop border, and then I spelled out the sentiment with my good ol' snap stamps. I realized I don't own any Unity sentiments!!! I need to correct that dire situation asap!
I also played along with one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges over at Splitcoast - Julie's challenge to make your own embellishment. I decided to make a fabric flower, since I learned how to do these on one of Julie's fabby tutorials a while back! Fun stuff.
Now head on over to the Unity blog and visit the rest of the stampers doing today's hop! And thanks for stopping by today!
