Friends of Unity September Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity September Blog Hop. This month the theme is wings. What an awesome theme! Unity has so many stamps that work with this topic... Angels, birds, feathers, butterflies, the list could go on and on. As I am sure the others in the blog hop would agree... deciding is always the hardest part.

I decided pretty early on what stamp I wanted to use. I have been challenging myself to use more of my "uninked" stamps and give them a little love. I bought them for a reason, right? Well, this one had me stumped. I bought it with the intentions of using it on a galaxy background. My Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat was intransit to my house, and I didn't want to procrastinate on this card when I had a room full of perfectly good craft supplies.

Recently I hopped on the Deco Foil bandwagon. I bought some starter supplies to see if this was something I was going to fall in love with. I saw a video by Gina K that demonstrated how you could use it with stamps and not just stencils. Well, that sold me! So I called up that video and watched how I could foil using my stamp. It took a couple of tries for me to get the layout I was finally happy with. The transfer gel was pretty messy on my stamp and I had to use a toothbrush to really clean the fine detailed areas. I think next time I will stick with stencils. =)

Thank you to all those who took time to comment last month on our Friends of Unity Blog. The winner of my giveaway is Darlene Kolojeski-Huttel. Please private message me and I will get your prize package out in the mail to you ASAP!
