Today, I have used one of the very first kits that I bought from Unity. It was a split kit called In Bloom, and Naturally You. It had lots of great botanical stamps, which I tend to reach for time and time again. Please be sure to stop around, and check out all of the Friends with Flair links today. There is also a great sale going on in the Unity Shop.
The card stock and papers were just from my scrap bin, with my next layer being a paper doily. I had recently got a great deal on Spellbinder/Xyron dies, and was anxious to use a set. I chose the butterflies. Using white card stock, I picked out the lilac stamp and used CTMH markers to color it. I also colored and stamped my sentiment. Using the dies I positioned and cut them out, then used VersaMagic ink to sponge my edges. I added some Prima flower, which have hung around here forever, and created leaves with an SU! Sizzlet die. I created antenna with purple craft wire, and added some plum pearls.
I would also like to enter this over at the Pixie Snippets Playground # 118, since I was such a good girl, and used up lots of bits.
