Girl In Unity- Day 1

  Each day for the next week, I am posting cards by Unity Stamps as "Growing in Unity" girl, aka GIU .  My personal goal is to create using images I have not used yet.....

 I stamped the fish, and masked them before inking up the background. I colored the fish with Copics. For the background, distress inks in Salty Ocean, Broken China and Peeled Paint were used for this underwater card. There is shimmer (wink of Stella) on the fish and on the sentiment that is not visible in the picture. I also used a stencil named Abstract (I think by Sweet Stamps).  The greenery was stamped using Wasabi and Old Olive SU inks. The border die is Gina Marie.
  This Unity stamp kit is called Fishy Philosophy.
  There was a book named Magic Fish I used to read to my kids when they were young.  If I can find it, I will make another card painting/coloring the fish like the cover of that book!

 These stamps from the 1/2018 KOTM have been siting on my desk waiting to be stamped up.They were inked up with Nuvo Hybrid Black ink, then water colored with Daniel Smith paints. The sentiment was embossed in Silver on vellum, and deconstructed to fit onto the card. The moon,clouds and the stars are popped up on dimensionals. They were painted with a Wink of Stella pen, so are very shimmery.
  My son and DIL are expecting a baby boy at the end of May : )   He will be the first grandchild for both families : )
