Play Time

Hi everyone!

I recently won some Fireworks spray inks.
I decided today was a good day to play with them :)
I bought some small canvases at Michael's on clearance and used one for this project.
 I started by spraying a few colors to start my background. I wanted that shimmer from the sprays. I didn't gesso the canvas because I wanted the texture to show. After the sprays dried I pulled out some Unity stamps.....Christy Tomlinson, Donna Downey, & Marah Johnson.Using Colorbox inks I added the stamping. I also used a Portafolia yellow ink & I have to say I don't like it at all. I only use it because it's bright yellow. It takes FOREVER to dry! Even when heat setting!! I need to get a Colorbox yellow. 

All weekend Unity is celebrating their 5th Birthday with a 50% off everything sale! And they just introduced a new membership kit called Layers of Life (LOL). I might just have to sign up for this one. Yesterday was my birthday and it would be the perfect gift, right?
Anyway check out the UNITY BLOG for all the info.

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY UNITY!!
