Holiday Hip Hop!!!

Good Hip-Hopping Morning!!! Lots of gorgeous new releases to share from Unity Stamp Company with you. They are releasing 5 new singles today! Each and every one of them is gorgeous and so my style! LOVE that!

I hope that you have come here from AJ's gorgeous blog. If not, you need to get your hop started right by heading over to Angela's Unity blog and see what the details for the day are. I hear that there is some fun stuff happening today so you don't want to miss it.





For this first card, I swiped Amber's gorgeous sketch that she created for the Monday Challenge gals (AJ, Amber, Maren, Brooke, and Jen Buck.) I was inspired by a shirt that Kat was wearing for my color scheme (hint: if you think that this little deer is cute, you are going to LOVE Unity's November kit! ;o)




I colored my stamped images with watercolor pencils. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the tutorial that I owe you on those...maybe I will manage to get that up by tomorrow for you.






I then added bits of white glitter to add some of that holiday sparkle.
{totally off-topic: the other day Amy was over here stamping and created the cutest little cupcake card using one of Amber's other sketches. When I started this card, I was totally going to lift her card because I LOVED the papers she used and everything, but that is the way that my Creative Muse works...she has her own agenda! LOL! But if you get a chance, go check out Amy's card...it will definitely inspire you...esp. her detailed paper-piecing on those cupcakes...WOW!}
