Good morning! Today I would like to share with you a card I made using an Itty Bitty I recently won. It is from Unity, for Webster Pages, and it is called Relax, Renew, Restore. Since today is Friday, it is time for the Friends with Flair hop, over on the Unity Blog.
I started with Bazzill card stock . The green is a pearlized one and it is so pretty. The green check dp is a scrap, but the purple is from Basic Grey's Indie Bloom. I used Marvy Markers to ink my stamps, and stamped directly onto my designer paper. I used a Fantastix applicator and rubbed some of the marker ink onto the leaves to make them more pronounced. I punched a couple of MS butterflies out of the same dp, only attached the bodies and bent the wings upward. Green gems were used for the bodies.
I really liked the washed out, watercolor effect that I achieved. Please be sure to visit the Unity Blog for the line up of talented designers who linked up today. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope that your holiday weekend is full of family, friends, and food, from beginning to end.

Absolutely gorgeous.
