Growing in Unity - Winners Announced

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm announcing the winners of my Growing in Unity week, so please scroll below to see if you won!  I had a lot of fun last week with my Unity Stamp Co. stamps so I made another card!  This one is a birthday card for a man.


This stamp came to me in a grab bag, but the full set is Unity Stamp - Going to be OWL-Right. I coloured the image with markers, die-cut with an oval (Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rope Nested Oval), and, leaving the metal die in place, inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I layered the oval with two more die-cut ovals of the same size.  The background is embossed woodgrain. I white-heat-embossed a sentiment from Unity Stamp - Ups and Downs Kitty on a brown scrap and finished the card with a number of punched leaves in green.

Awwww.... Kitty, this is an adorable masculine card, and so fun with that cute owl! Well done!! LOVE the way you put the oval layers together, it's very eye-catching with that beautiful white frame that matches the cheerful sentiment! The wood-grain embossing is just PERFECT for the owl! Love the cute leaves on the top banner too!

Super cute card. I love the adorable owl and the white frame helps to pop it off your great background. The background adds so much texture to your card. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
