Welcome to day 3 of my growing in unity week! Today’s original project started out as an epic FAIL!! I had a completely different treat in store for you complete with a process video, but 30 seconds into filming, the battery in my camera died! I replaced it with my fully charged backup…it must have sat too long because it was dead too! No video!! I’ll try to have it ready for tomorrow/! So today’s card was put together in a hurry! I hope you like it!
I used another print and cut file from the Silhouette store, this time in a birthday theme. My daughter’s birthday is in a couple of weeks (and then her wedding is the following week!!) so I had cake on my brain! The real “gem” in this card is the chevron background! I love it! It’s a part of the Unity stamp set called About the Inches. It’s a great set to document a weight loss journey, but as an added bonus, there’s this AWESOME chevron background stamp!! I used three different shades of blue chalking ink to ink up the stamp. I dabbed them on randomly but in keeping with a bit of an ombre effect. Love it!! I also used part of the Celebrate stamp set again, for my sentiment. Viola…the card came together quick and easy!

Adorable! It came together so nicely. I should have made a birthday card for my guy today, but made cake instead! Very nice card Amy, I love the dots on the cake. The background gives it pop.
