Hi, Friends.....
I am here with my last Friday project for Unity Friends with Flair. They are changing it up a bit over at Unity and their FWF will be on Tuesdays, starting on Sept. 1. To be honest, I am a little bit nervous about the changes they might have in the works for FWF. I love participating and hope that Facebook or Instagram won't be required for the new and improved Tuesday FWF....since I am not on those particular social media places.
Rather than my usual routine of simply matting the sentiment panel for putting on my background, I put the snippets at an angle this time. It's not fancy, but I like it.
I did some subtle clear heat embossing on the background that is barely visible, but if you look closely you can see some little hearts. Also, I smooshed the same flower stamp I used on the sentiment panel onto a wet paper towel to pick up some water and stamped it here and there on the background. It "bleached" out the shape of the flower here and there. If you have sharp eyes, you might be able to see it. Although it is faint, I think it adds.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We have the possibility of more thunderstorms today and tomorrow, so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Until we have some significant rain, we are still in very great danger of fire. Yikes!

Isn't it fun to play in watercolors? I see your little gold hearts... adorable on this pretty background.

ReplyDeleteYour bg is super great - I will have to try that technique. Hope you came through the storms well too and your cat chart made me laugh (I am still laughing when I think about how true it is). We are so glad you shared your beautiful card with us in the DRS Challenge.
