Hip Hop Thursday with Unity - LOVE

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

LOVE.


Essential.


Precious.




Apparently, BANNERS ARE STILL HOT!  At the WINTER CHA 2011, banners were everywhere.  So with that inspiration and inspiration from the NEW color palette at Color Combos Galore, I pulled out the Unity Stamp Co. set Good Times Vintage Banner ($15.00 in the Unity Store). 

PS: Did you know Unity is sponsoring Color Combos Galore for February?  Check it out if want a shot at winning!

TIP TIME:

I distressed my banner pieces by coloring them with COPIC markers, then dripping drops of COLORLESS BLENDER onto the paper.  The colorless blender PUSHES the color out of the way!  You can get a hold of a BIG bottle of the blender and try a whole lot of distressing techniques.

You can also see I used a Unity ALPHABET stamp set to dress up my flags, called JUST MY TYPE.

I really love this stamp from a past KOM (Nov 2010 Kit - Picture Perfect - Stamp - do all things with love).    I loved the idea of these HANGING hearts (Fancy Pants Paper - cut out with my Silhouette).  I envisioned the stitching, and how it might look, and I must say that I like the result!  I even DOODLED around the hearts with a thicker black ink pen.

The big LOVE letters were cut with my Silhouette.



KIT OF THE MONTH - FEBRUARY

Just a reminder that Unity has a cool kit club.  Every month, Unity produces CUTE art on a 8.5x11 sheet of rubber just for kit club members!  Here it is:
