Friends of Unity March Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity March Blog Hop. This month the theme is “Creative”. My interpretation of this theme was to prompt ME to be creative. I searched techniques and fancy folds that I have not tried before. There were lots out there, but I wanted to find something that really inspired me. What I finally settled on was the technique called Northern Lights. For details on this technique, click here.

I live in a geographical area that MAYBE once a year if the conditions are JUST RIGHT, we might be able to see the northern lights. It is something I have truly only seen in pictures. One day when the time is right, My husband and I would like to travel to Alaska in hopes of viewing their gorgeous landscape and seeing this colorful nighttime show on display.

    Just amazing, friend. I too would love to see the Northern Lights, but I did spend 5wks in Alaska early in my marriage and can't wait to go back. It's a magically place. I have not tried this technique, as the black scares me that I'd ruin my project. But that video/blog explained it great. Thanks for the tips. I love your colors, stamps, and overall design. Just lovely. Thanks for the inspiration!

    You captured the colors so well on your card. I have never seen the Northern Lights and live in an area of the US where they do not exist. It is on my bucket list, but in the mean time it's nice to see creativity that is inspired by them.

    This is such a beautiful technique for a background, and the silhouette stamps are perfect with it.I am really enjoying all the different creative techniques on this hop and am feeling inspired to pull out some of my unused supplies and experiment.

    I love that technique and your card. I have yet to master it. We have a vacation cabin in an area that also can have the northern lights, but while I have seen some wonderful pictures of them, I have not seen them for real in 30 years. I think I probably have to stay up much later than I normally do, lol.
