You are one of a kind



Playing along with Friends with Flair this Friday.

This stamp is from one of my favorite Unity Kits, One of a Kind.

For the misted background I wanted to create a sort of sunburst effect.  I used four different Dylusions ink sprays and a scrap piece of cardstock.  It's really easy to do.  Lay your scrap cardstock over about half the card on an angle.  Mist the exposed half of the card.  Let dry (I used a heat gun to speed the process along).  Pivot the scrap cardstock to cover a different section of card and repeat.  Each time you'll be misting over parts of what you misted before, but you create some fun diagonals and layers of color.

To accentuate some of those angles, I created a cardstock mat from multiple coordinating colors of cardstock that extended the lines/angles of misting.  I cut three mats of colored cardstock, one serving as the base.  For the other two, I lined the panel up and then used a pencil to mark where the lines met the mat and then trimmed away the excess.  I really like the extra oomph the mat gives to the card.

That's all for today.  Hoping to get caught up with some scrapbooking this weekend...and tackle the loads of laundry in the basement.....
