Hi everyone – I hope you are having a good week. I wanted to stop in and say hello, as well as share a beautiful new release with you from Unity Stamp Company! For a limited time ONLY – Unity Stamp Co. will be offering digital stamps and they are GORGEOUS! They are truly perfect for everything that is going on right now. I am also excited to share I am an affiliate for Unity Stamp Company. If you enjoy my card and the sets I used or see other things that catch your eye on their amazing website, I hope you will consider shopping on my link. Today I am sharing 2 cards I made using the new In this Together set. This set was designed by the artist Lorica Jackson. I love this stamp, Lorica did an AMAZING job! The set you purchase contains pre-made A2 card panels, as well as individual images you can resize and create with on your own! How fun is that!
For both of my cards I started by printing various sizes of this gorgeous floral image on Neenah 80lb card stock. I wanted to use alcohol markers for both of my projects. For my first card I colored 3 of the floral images in using my arteza everblend markers. I wanted to practice using these markers. For the coloring on these 3 floral images I started by laying a shadow color down (purple), then used a light yellow, dark yellow, and continued to work to blend until I achieved the color I was going for. I then went in the nooks and crannies with colored pencils for more shadow and dimension. I added Rainbow Sparkle – Brutus Monroe embossing powder to the center of each flower. I love the subtle sparkle it has!
For this card I wanted to create a spring feel with a rustic twist. I went through my stash and found a kraft cardstock A2 panel that was pre made with an embossing folder. I added gold splatter to the panel and set it aside to dry. I used some black and white paper to create the strip on the left side. I used foam adhesive for the flower images and sentiment and then put my card together. I hope you like this one – it reminds me of summer with the bright yellow!
For my second card I chose to enlarge the floral image and place it in the top left corner. I do all my editing in word for my digital stamps. I printed this image on Neenah 80lb card stock as well. I loved coloring this large floral image. I used a mix of my copic markers and Altenew artist markers on this card. Once my coloring was completed I added colored pencils to the nooks and crannies. I then used a Hero Arts die to cut out my card panel, I made it slightly smaller than an A2 sized card.
I used my Ranger embossing pen to add Metallic Embossing powder – Gilded from Brutus Monroe I created vertical and horizontal lines using my T- square ruler. I love the added touch of the gold. I used foam tape to adhere my sentiment to the card panel and then layered a piece of black card stock behind the panel and adhered it to an A2 sized card.
I hope you enjoyed seeing 2 cards I created using this beautiful new set – In this Together – from Unity Stamp Company. This set is beautiful! I love how it has panels created for you that are all ready to go! Truly a great way to relax and just color, as well as individual images for you to create your own designs with! I hope you give them a try! I would appreciate you checking out my affiliate links as well if you enjoyed this stamp set, as well as other products!

Both of these cards are so gorgeous!! I love the colours you chose, they go so well together…and the purple as the shadow colour for that yellow flower is genius!
Also, I’m so glad I’m not alone in using Word for digi stamps!!! It was the only way I could think of doing it the first time I tried one, and now I’m just set in my habits 😂🙈
Gorgeous cards & great post!
Stay safe, healthy & crafty 💗

Gorgeous cards Natasha. I love the bold images.
Great idea to use the embossing pen and add the gold lines, I never think of using my embossin pen like that.
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous inspiration, stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful weekend.
