Growing in Unity Week - Day 1 (Giveaway)

Hello, everybody!  Woot, woot!  I've been holding back some exciting news, and today is the day I can share it!  I am thrilled to tell you that I am a "Growing in Unity Girl" this week!  I recently discovered Unity Stamp Co. and have fallen in love with their red rubber stamps!  I will be sharing five cards this week, one each day from Monday to Friday.  As if that's not exciting enough, there is also a giveaway!  Here's my card:


I stamped the trampoline kitty, flowers, and bow from Unity Stamp - Ups and Downs Kitty by Susan Weckesser, coloured the images with markers, and fussy-cut.  Being a Fit Kitty myself (wishful thinking LOL), I love this fit kitty stamp with her cute little skirt!  To illustrate her jumping, I used a black fineliner to doodle some movement marks between the kitty and the trampoline.  

For the greeting, I stamped the speech bubble and sentiment from Unity Stamp - Nine Lives and then fussy-cut.  My background was created with Distress Oxide Sprays (Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mowed Lawn) on Bristol Smooth cardstock.  I adhered all of the stamped elements and then doodled a border around the card with a black marker.  As a finishing touch, I adhered a number of pink gems to the flowers and the bow.


Giveaway
Would you like to win a $20 gift credit to Unity Stamp Co.?  Make sure to come back each day this week to see what I create with my Unity stamps and then comment on all five of my Growing in Unity posts to be included in the giveaway!  Deadline for comments is 5PM EDT, Sunday, March 20.  There will be two lucky winners!

Challenges

    Love your card! And since this is your first post and I am doing them all backwards, et me congratulate you again on being a Unity Girl this week! Love that sentiment. And the fun speech bubble with the bow (that just matches her little skirt!) Another fun background! Did you draw those squiggles around the edges. So perfect! I always admire someone who can do that as I would mess it up so much. Really adorable card. Take care!
