Friends with Flair Friday X 2

This is my second post for today. For the Get Sketchy card and sketch this week see next post. You won't want to miss it, you may win some Sakura pens!

Today is Friends with Flair Friday and this week I made 2 cards. I love to see what everyone does with their Unity stamps. They are fantastic stamps I love them! To start at the beginning of the list of participants go to Angela's blog, you will love what you see!


This is the bonus sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You this week.

I flipped the sketch and love how this card turned out. I always have trouble using Cosmo Cricket papers (as much as I love what everyone else creates with them) but I do like this one. The stamp is from the Unity Store kit that can be purchased at Paper Maniac. I just got it yesterday so it felt good to ink it up so soon!
Pattern Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Jillibean Soup
Cardstock, Ink and fiber: CTMH
ribbon and vellum: stash
buttons: PTI
snowflake punch: Marvy


The Card Positioning Systems sketch for this week:
I was determined to use as many Unity stamps as I could as I really need to justify the purchases! LOL! I like how so many of these fit together with the same theme. I used the music background, distressed dots, the sentiment and bird stamp all from Unity. The bird is mounted with foam squares.
Cardstock: Close to My Heart (Bubblegum, Sweet Leaf, Breeze and White Daisy)
Stamps: Unity and PTI (background text)
Ink: Breeze, Black and Bubblegum (CTMH)
Ribbon & Buttons: PTI
