Unity Friends with Flair



It is Friday and the sun is shining and it is not freezing.  All good things.  I was going through my Unity stamps and I have a few cases (I keep my unmounted stamps in CD cases) of unmarked Unity stamps.  These are ones that I received as part of orders and as part of drawings, so I thought I would use a few to make a CAS card.  I used the sun image (so cute) and inked with two colors of Memento ink and tuxedo black for face.  I stamped the note paper and punched the edges with EK Success punch.  I took the "You simply Shine"  sentiment from the set Shine On and the "thank you" from the Country Pumpkin set.  Wow, I had a hard time finding a thank you sentiment in all my sets, maybe need to do some shopping.  We just need a good excuse, don't we.  I will have to wait for a while, since it is not in the budget currently.  I made the envelope with the envelope punch board (this size is not on the board markings).  I cut the paper to a 4.5 inch square and punched and scored at 2 inches and then followed the score lines to repeat the punching and scoring on remaining three sides.  I used flower and leaf punches for the foliage and added some pearls and voila, quick and simple.  I need a few of these to send to some lovely ladies who helped me with an event last week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Hope this card sends a little sunshine your way.  Have fun crafting and have a great weekend.
