Unity - What the Cluck Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today, I have the birthday card I made for my high school girlfriends.  I loved this Unity set when it came out last year. I got it when it was on sale last year and finally used it!  The set is called "What the Cluck?!".  

I attended an online card marking summit back in January and the focus was using your scraps.   I have a plastic bin next to my work desk where I started keeping my scraps this year. These cards were made with patterned paper scraps and I think they turned out great. I made 4.25 x 5.5" panels with the patchwork and sewed over the seams.  Then mounted the stitched panel on a cream base card. 

The image was stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors: E21, E23, E25, R46, YR14, YR16, YR18, B01, YG95

I cut the image with a stitched rectangle die, then aged it with PTI ink, Fine Linen, Kraft and Cocoa Bean ink and blending brush.  I stamped the sentiment on a fishtail banner and aged it with ink.  The circle and 55 are from a Spellbinders die set "Happy Birthday with Numbers" from 2018, retired unfortunately.

Here is a second card with a different color scheme:

Unity - All Lit Up Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a fun birthday card, using Unity All Lit Up.  I used some watercolor paper and stamped the Happy Birthday image with the balloons.  I stamped the balloons on a piece of white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.  I fussy cut out the colored balloons and paper pieced them on the main watercolor paper image.

I looked through my patterned and found a paper pad Paper Studios The Basics which had a rainbow of bright colors with different patterns.  I chose a blue and yellow polka dot and green stripe that matched the colors of balloons. and created a stripe background. 

Copic Colors: Y19, Y21, Y35, Y38, RV11, RV15, B01, B04, YG21, YG23
