Friends of Unity May Hop

 

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity May Blog Hop. This month the theme is 'things with wings'. What a great idea, with so many options to chose from. This could be bugs, birds, an airplane... the creativity our team has shown with their designs will inspire my creative juices and likely expand my Unity collection.

Clean and simple cards always seem to be what I am drawn to in my designs. I purchased this set many years ago and have struggled to use it. Small stamps sometimes are a struggle for me as they can be overlooked if the background is too busy or the design of the card is overly complicated. In my opinion this simple stencil really brings the smaller stamps into focus, but doesn't make the card look overly simple.
