Welcome to Day 2 of my Growing Unity week for Unity Stamp Company.
My inspiration for today's card is someone who is very near and dear to me and is going through very tough times. Everyday, I am inspired by the courage, the fight and the strength they show. I've made this card especially for this special someone, to show how much I believe in them and as a reminder to never give up - To keep the strength, to keep fighting and to continue to be brave. I honestly don't know how I could go through what they are going through and keep the positive attitude - This person is truly BADASS - Every day!
I am using the Itty Bitty Stamp, Badass Every Day, from Unity Stamp Company. I've used papers strictly from my stash. I went with black and white with pops of color, to make the perfect masculine card. I've kept it simple since it's all about the Strength, The Bravery and the Inspiration this special person brings to me. I hope this card will serve as a reminder, to everyone, every day, to never give up.

DeleteLove it! Great choice of colors! I am always amazed at how you can use an "Itty Bitty" stamp as the focal point on a card! There is nothing small about Unity's Itty Bittys!
ReplyDeleteThans Avra! I know, right?! Itty Bittys are awesome - and not so Itty Bitty. (Uggh now I have that country song about itty bitty in my head - cant think of the name of it lol)
DeleteThe strong use of black is great. It really makes the other colors stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. Appreciate your stopping by and taking the time to comment
DeleteI love how you layer together you patterns. That is a perfect pop of color coming off your image. I do hope your friend finds inspiration and strength from your card.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Teresa. I really love mixing patterns that dont seem to "Go togher" at first sight. I'm sure the card will be well received and will be an inspiration.
