Color Throwdown #63 with Unity Stamps

Welcome to another Color Throwdown! This weeks colors are brought to us by Cathy and being sponsored by Unity Stamps. You have a chance to win a great prize package from Unity so make sure you join us and play along


I used the stamp set Birdie Inspiration from Unity Stamps. I stamped the flourish in VersaMark Thatched Straw and Spanish Olive on Kraft paper. The sentiment is stamped in VersaFine Sepia. The gorgeous crocheted flower is handmade by Kristin Bueter! I have more that I am hording! The center and under the sentiment are flat backed pearls from Prima. The acorns were made with a squeeze punch from Fiskars. It cuts the top and bottom separately making it easy to mix and match different papers. I can't wait to use this on more projects! I used some fine line Sharpies to add cross hatch lines to the tops. The sentiment and some flourishes were embellished with a Sakura stardust gel pen and the ribbon is the last from my stash.

Make sure you head over to the blog to see all the great DT samples and play along to win some great Unity products!

Hey, nice rack!

Now that I have your attention! I think they mean gun rack...or antlers, but I don't have any stamps for those images.


This is a birthday card for my husbands best friend who's birthday is this month. I got this great Unity set called Buck Fever. My husbands best friend and he are both avid hunters. Jim has several deer under his belt, so to speak. My hubby, none. He says (air quotes) he's taken down a few, but I don't really believe him. And I'm not the least bit upset. I completely understand hunting, the need for population control and all that, but I couldn't shoot one of those big liquid brown eyed beauties any day. I don't like venison either, so if he never gets "another" one I don't mind. As long as he has a good time with his brother and buddies that's fine by me.

I stamped the gun stock on Basic Grey (not sure which one, but it's a solid distressed brown) with Versa Fine in black. It's popped up on PTI cream cs that's been distressed with ADK distress ink in Walnut Stain. The dp is from K&Company and the solid is Bazzill. I did some light distressing all over-simple. I think he'll like it.

PS-Don't tell Jim's wife, but he thinks I am the best cook ever! He gets so excited if I make something and send it over. He asks for decorating advice and my paint color suggestions, (it was time for him to get rid of the 80's anyway...remember that? It was bad...) says he loves the way I did our house. I love him. In that big brother kinda way...don't get any ideas!

Happy hump day!
