Growing in Unity Day Three

Hello and Welcome back to my Growing in Unity Day Three post. If you missed my previous posts,  you can view them here:
MONDAY
TUESDAY

This single stamp here is the reason why I signed up for the Kit of the Month. My friend had been posting some really cute stuff that she made with some recent KOM's, and I looked into them. Not sure if I wanted the commitment... I decided to wait a month. Well... a sneak peek came out a few day before and it revealed this beauty. This confirmed my decision and signed up right on the 1st!

The next hurdle was learning how to color... not just flat coloring of the image with one color, but to really color with depth and highlighting. I have been diligently watching videos and reading blogs. I am satisfied with what I have learned from everyone so far. I know I have a ways yet to go, but comparison is the thief of joy... so I will be happy with my progress and keep moving forward.

    I love that stamp too and your putting it on the diagonal is a great idea and saves the debate over vertical or horizontal with this image. Lovely card.

    I can see why you love this stamp and it made you sign up for the KOTM! These stamps have a life of their own! I love the plaid border and your coloring is really good. The blue around the image is wonderful too. Thanks!

    I love your artwork and I too am learning to color. So what I'm REALLY going to keep from today's post is - comparison is the thief of joy. You are so right!

    I learn best by tactile learning (actually doing something). I was fortunate to have a great teacher named Jim who was so patient with me! Unfortunately, about eight years ago, the shop closed and he went to a different job. I do attend a rubber stamping event and do the make-and-takes to learn things.... Sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't...…… Very nice card!
