Just Us Girls Challenge - Photo Week

This week Vicki is our amazing hostess and picked out this awesome picture for Photo Week. Here is what I came up with using the kits from Unity Stamp Co called Happy Holidays and Ella Elf Whimsy (for the sentiment):

So two of these bulbs look orange but really they are all a shade of Red using Tombow markers. I adde Nuvo Drops clear glitter to the two that look orange which I think lightened them a bit. In person they are not that light though! LOL!.

Unity and Brutus Monroe Hop

I am so excited and thrilled to be a part of this hop. Unity teamed up with Brutus Monroe and with his design team we are doing a blog hop (and instagram hop if you are on IG).

Wonderful new background stamps created by Brutus Monroe have been released with Unity. I got the pleasure of working with Hit the Brick one.

I paired this wonderful background stamp with Unity's Stay Strong kit. Such fun. I used oxides for my background which gave it such a fun distressed look. Take a peek at this simple quick tip video I made using this fun background.

Here is a second card I made using Hit the Brick from Brutus Monroe. I paired it with Be The Light kit. My background I heat embossed in blue and then applied Squeezed Lemon distress ink over the top.

I hope you will come hop along with us on this wonderful hop. Be sure to visit all these blogs as I know the will provide amazing inspiration as well as a chance to win some goodies!
