Hello crafty friends, greetings from Norway, here´s the first post of my week of Growing In Unity. Being a GIU-girl is one of the things I´ve wanted to do for a long time and finally I had the good fortune to be picked :)
I´ve been a fan of the Unity stamps ever since 2008-2009 and have some stamps from back in the day to prove it, though I haven´t used any of them in todays card.

Today I´ve played with Distress Oxides to make backgrounds for the beautiful stamps. First using the smooshing technique, the colours are chosen to create a sort of rainbow effekt. The stamp is from the «Say it Big» sentiment kit, it creates such a stricking effect.
The second card is a condolence card, with a blended rainbow and stamped straws from the «Insightful Meadows» stampset by Donna Downey, it´s an oldie but a goodie, and the sentiment is from the August 2019 kit of the month. The last thing I added to the card was a little Pearl Glimmer Mist, my motto in life is «Everything is better with a little Glimmer Mist»
If you leave a comment, you have a chance of winning a grab-bag of Unity goodness. I´ll be back tomorrow with some more cards

How beautiful your cards are. I really love the colors and how you used them. I love to see people from Norway--my Dad's family is Norwegian :) My husband and I went to Norway a couple of years ago, and would like to go back. We didn't have time to drive to the old family home--we were just there for part of a day on a cruise. Thanks for showing us your talent.
SvarSlettLove the blacks against the colours. Very pretty cards. HUgz
