friends with flair friday

It is Friends with Flair {FWF} Friday for the customers of the Unity Stamp Company.  A day full of inspiration from Unity Stampers.

One blog has a secret blinky and one lucky winner will be selected from that blog to win a very generous prize. If you are on the hunt, good luck.  The list of participating Friends with Flair hoppers can be FOUND HERE.  Don’t forget to leave a comment, we all need some love and maybe a prize!

Ok, I seem to be addicted to these now.  I think ATCs are just the coolest.  I decided to make one using the little owl from my new Unity Stamp Company October kit of the month.  Isn’t he just darling.

The Esty Inspired Challenge this week is The Little Red door and I picked this item.  I loved the colors and it made me think of gnomes and owls.  Well, I don’t have gnome stamps, so I just {had} to go with an owl.  And I have been eyeing this guy since he arrived.  Flourishes also challenged us to use a border stamp, so I pulled out one of my trusty Fiskars punchers.

The sketch is from the 2 Sketches 4 you DT call.  I’ve been a follower of their challenges for a while and they have some of the best sketches.
