Hip Hop with Unity - Marah Johnson!


Good morning and good day!  If you're here for the UNITY HIP HOP  - WELCOME!

I am THRILLED to show you what I've done with the NEW Marah Johnson co-branded stamps from Unity Stamp Co.  These are BIG stamps, scrapbooking stamps, artsy stamps, ME stamps!  They come in 8.5 x 11 sheets of rubber!  Talk about a lot of stamps.


Here is a peek of the stamp sets I used:

-art, soul, label, flourish, bird, nurture quote, crown, ampersand


-flourish


Here is my FIRST layout using these stamps: Julie's ART & SOUL


This is a photo of a VERY pregnant me, last November.  My sister is a photographer (Vine Images), started her own business about 7 years ago, and this is a tribute to her and her art.


I wanted the paper's edge to show through, so I cut the STAMPED label in half and separated it.  Lots of the stamping I did was directly onto the paper, and I think these stamps suited this TEXT paper.  The bright yellow flowers were spritzed with Rolling in the Hay SHIMMERZ spritz, to make it match better.   I also spritzed some Shimmerz onto the paper.


Aren't these words beautiful?  I love the font Marah chose.


Supplies:
Unity Stamps: Art & Soul, Breathless
Patterned Paper: Bo Bunny
Ink: Ranger (Peeled Paint, Pitch Black)
Flowers: Dollarama
Shimmerz Spritz: Rolling in the Hay (Gold)
Canvas Letters: Making Memories

Adhesive: Glue Arts, Glue Glider Pro, Glue Gun
Leaves: Prima
Other: Dymo Labelmaker


Here is a reminder of the Kit of the Month for January.
