Hip Hop Thursday with Unity Stamp Co.

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

Before we get into the project for today, have you seen the new Kit of the Month for February?  Look at all that art!  All the possibilities for both card makers and stampers!  Here it is:

There are some really great scrapbooking stamps in this kit that I can't wait to get my ink on!

Kit info can be found here.

For today, I want to show you a piece that I made for Unity's Booth at the Winter CHA 2011!  How I wish I was there.  

I used one of my favorite kits from Unity, and designed by Iron Orchid Designs: Good, Pure, Excellent.

I just love how it turned out.  I really love the look of teal and orange together.  This is an old PRIMA box (made of wood) and I turned it upside down to make it my very own canvas.  In fact, I applied canvas to it with GESSO, then spritzed it with a GOOD amount of Shimmerz Spritz.

I stamped the stamps onto paper, I inked the quote with Distress Inks and drops of water, and then I treated both quote and image with 3 coats of UTEE (embossing powder)  I was able to crack it after 3 coats.  There are lots of gorgeous Prima flowers on here, and I really like the look of those vintage style frames from Little Yellow Bicycle.  A perfect match for IOD stamp!

HIP HOP SKETCHES?

Do you know about the Hip Hop Sketches?  If you play along, you can win some stamps!  I'm thinking that people just don't know where to find these challenges and where to upload.  You can find the information at Splitcoast Stampers in Unity's Challenge Forum.  New to Splitcoast Stampers?  It can be a little overwhelming!  First, register on the site, then find your way to Unity Stamp Co.  We have our own hang out spot on Splitcoast.  All the information you could possibly need is there.  And if it's not, just add a new topic and ask away!
