I had a great time using many of my Unity stamps for this background. First I just started with some pink oxide distress ink direct from pad to paper swipes. Then I used a blending sponge to add some yellow distress oxide in. Then I added moss green distress ink pine needles all around the background. I found a small little group of stars on a stamp that was from a grab bag deal from Unity to added the stars for texturing with a espresso distress ink. On a scrap of design paper I stamped the ornament which is one of my favorite Unity Christmas stamps and colored it with alcohol markers and also a gold mettalic marker. I colored some white pearl embellishments with a yellow alcohol marker and added them to the centers of the flowers on the ornament. I found this silver swirly sticker that reminded me of those fancy ornament hangers they have out now so added it to the top of the ornament after I had fussy cut it and glued it onto the background. The sentiment is from one of my newest Unity stamps that is a set of great Christmas sentiments. Go join in on the fun. This will last the entire month of November. Check it out!
