I made this card for the Unity Addicts challenge, which was to make your own background paper without using stamps. I used a Tattered Angels glimmer screen, distress inks, and an inking tool to make the compass for the background. I used the awesome ribbon that I bought at a craft store for an accent. Then I stamped the Unity bird image onto kraft paper, cut it out, and adhered it with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, from Ippity, onto kraft paper, and then went over it with a glaze pen. I colored in the hearts with a Marvy marker. LOVE this bird image and the sentiment--both were MUST HAVES!!!
