GROWING IN UNITY - DAY 5

BEFORE I start on my GIU post, I wanted to reply to a comment from this week...
I was asked about guy cards.
 
Here are a few posts that have "guy" cards:
 
NUMBER CARD
 
SUCKS TO GET OLD
 
STAR CARD
 
WISHING YOU CARDS
 
-- Hope that helps in your "guy" card adventures!
 
 
 
 
 
 
We are on Day FIVE of FIVE!
 
It has been so fun to show off all of all this great Unity!
 
And today I have LOTS of pictures to show you:
 
 
Here are the first steps to my card set I'm showing you today...
I stamped the flower from
WISHING YOU JOY
on eight pieces of cardstock measuring 4.25"x2.5".
 
I then stamped the flower on colored cardstock and paper pieced it together.
MOST of the colored cardstock is from
SUMMERTIME DESIGNS - Comforts of Home.
I manipulated the paper in Photoshop Editor to have the different colors.
The other pattern papers are from a pack I had picked up at Walmart...
 
Here are the cards individually:
 

 
Most of the backgrounds are stamped with
CHICKEN WIRE BACKGROUND
using Versamark Ink.
 
This sentiment is from
MOMENTS IN BLOOM.
Another FABULOUS set that I just love!

 
The base of the cards is paper from Paper Trey Ink.
The twine is from my online store:
RABOGNER DESIGNS.

 
This sentiment is from
FAITH.

 
This Sentiment is from
...EVERYTHING WONDERFUL.
 
I really love the way these sentiments are put together!


 
This sentiment is also from the
FAITH set. 
 
I used a different background on this one.
It is called
UP AGAINST A WALL.
And again, the sentiment is from
...EVERYTHING WONDERFUL
  

This last one was one of the first ones I made.
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty
WISHING YOU JOY.
It will be available on my website shortly as it hasn't been spoken for yet!

 
And here is the entire set. I think I need to make a couple of purple ones!
What do you think?
 
Well, it is day 5 of 5...
So this is all you will be seeing from me as a GD for Growing In Unity...
at least until next year!
 
Thanks for all the comments.
I will be picking on lucky person who left a comment during this week to receive TWO Itty Bitty's of their choice and will post it on
SUNDAY - MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
