Friends of Unity January Blog Hop

Welcome Unity fans to our Friends of Unity January blog hop! This month our theme is anything Winter that is Non-Christmas. Angie Girls are a main staple of the Unity line... and nothing like diving in head when learning coloring and shading than with an Angie Girl. 

When we decided on a theme for our blog hop, this stamp set was first on my list. While I am my own worst judge when it comes to coloring, I really like how this one turned out. The open spaces in this stamp set pushed me outside of my comfort zone and had me utilize the skills I have been learning with my Copic markers. 



Here are the supplies I used:

Stamps:
Shine Bright Girls (Unity Stamp Company)
...abundant Blessings (Unity)

Paper:
Basic Gray (Stampin Up)
Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink)
Spring Rain (PTI)
Perfectly Plaid Winter (Lawn Fawn)

Ink:
Memento Tuxedo Black (SU)

Accessories:
Sizzix Big Shot (SU)
Wonky Rectangles Dies (Gina Marie Designs)
Copics (Various)

      Thank you! The plaid background is soft enough to still be wintery without being too Christma-y.
