Gotta LOVE Unity Thursdays

Thursday fun is happening with the Unity design team.  If you have been hopping you should have arrived from Thienly‘s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

BRAND new stamps releasing this week: New Fashionistas and fun special FREEBIES with purchase.

I get a little giddy when there are new Fashionistas, they remind me so much of Project Runway sketches.  I’m a runway junkie, so I can’t get enough of them.

Hey hot stuff!  Now this girl is NEVER ever going in the water with that hair!  Ha.  I love her sassiness and of course the perfect sentiment to go with.  I’ve used Copic markers to color her in, added some white gel pen and glitter glue to the flower.

I hemmed an hawed about the placement of the sentiment.  I was originally thinking of a banner to the upper right of the white panel.  But it would cover her face or hair and looked a little out of place.  Then I thought there was TOO much white space.  Ack.  Tried a few sequins, but they weren’t working either.  In frustration I just threw the strip of paper with my sentiment down on top of the card almost where it is right now.  Ah-ha.  Yay, it works perfectly there and luckily I cut it at the right length.  Whew.  Amazing how that happens sometimes.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.
We’ll be giving away 3 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.

    Placement is everything…. maybe next time I think I’ll just try the ‘Lisa throwing down technique’ to place my sentiment correctly, sounds perfect!
