I am back with the second week in our new Unity Addicts' blog challenge! This week Cat picked our challenge...to create a project with Unity's colors, plus we could add one:) I chose one of my favorite "old" stamps from Unity...Best Friends! I picked this set up in one of Angela's first Random specials and I still adore it!! I stamped the flower 2 times: once on Tempting Turquoise, once on Old Olive, and fianlly on Close to Cocoa. Then I sponged all the edges, pieced the flower back together and added some random white dots here and there to all the pieces.
The "hi"sentiment is from another of my Unity favs: Floral Fantastical. I stamped it with Turquoise on Turquoise cs then cut around the letters a bit. The bottom line of dots is also in the Best Friends kit. And...I actually pulled out the sewing machine for this one...gasp!! I bought a cute little pack of different colored thread at Joanne's the other day...I was getting sick of just white and ivory...and that Turquoise thread really adds to it:)
So, take a sec out of your busy day and go hop through all the blogs of my fellow Unity junkies...the links are listed------> over there in the right column of my sidebar! Do you wanna play along with us? Check out the thread in the SCS Unity forum...and post a link to your project!
Also, don't forget tomorrow is HIP HOP Thursday at Unity and I get to play this week since I'm the September GD...HIP HOP!! Start over at the Unity blog at 10am central and follow the hop from there:)
Thanks for stopping in! -Cyndi

Love this, Cyndi!! As usual, I'm amazed at the size of these stamps (why do I STILL keep assuming they're 'regular' sized?)! Love all the paper piecing and the polka dots!!
