I just couldn't resist last month's Unity Scrapbooking Kit, and these stamps are from it. I masked the definition text to incorporate it with the journaling block, pullling my colors from the soft and serene pattern paper. (I hope you can tell the card base is a dark eggplant that coordinates with the ink and PP.) This was also a great exercise in using stashed items - all the cardstock came from the scrap box, and I've been hoarding the Magenta metal bird charm for at least 5 years! Eesh!This card is going to my gal Carol (momcgw) who was a wonderful Secret Santa to me. (Love ya, Carol!)
Thanks for hopping along for FWF today, and be sure to visit all the blogs to find the hidden blinkie! You can find the list on the Unity Blog.Happy Friday!

I'm late to commenting on your blog, Catherine, but wanted to let you know how terrific your card is. Carol, is so blessed to receive it!!!
LOVE this Catherine! The shabby chic feel with the colors and layout are perfect. I'm gleeful just looking at it.
This is just splendid!! I like what you've done here! It's a nice blend of urban design with a little floral flair! You should do this more often - it's dazzling! (like you!) x0x0x0
