GIU Gal Day#3

Hello all! Welcome to Day 3 of my Growing in Unity week. I am thrilled to be able to showcase Unity Stamp Co. products every day this week. Make sure you follow along and comment on my blog each day for a chance to win $20 Unity gift certificates sponsored by Unity Stamp Co!

Today my project is a gift tag for a jar of jam.

I started with watercolor paper and die cut the decorative tag. I then stamped the image from Unity's May 2019 KOM, Sweetness, Miracles, & Wishes with Scrapbook.com hybrid black ink. I love that that ink works for both watercoloring and alcohol markers! Once that was thoroughly dry, I used Distress Oxide inks and an aqua brush to watercolor the image. The colors I used were: Candied Apple, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, Lucky Clover, Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, and Pumice Stone. I let that thoroughly dry again, then added the sentiment strip, which was also stamped from the same stamp set, with foam tape. Last of all, I embellished the tag with a Cherry Latte Trendy Page Dot, Holly Berry Trendy Twine, and gold pearl pen dots.
Make sure you leave a comment here before you go and come back tomorrow for another project!
