Last Day of Unity plus Snow Pics!

Today is my last day of Growing in Unity week although I will certainly be posting more Unity goodness in the future! How could I not? I love their stamps!!

This is also the last Valentine card I had to complete and Unity came through with another great image!

So romantic for Valentines! The DP is from Close To My Heart and the crocheted lace is from an unknown source. I added a little trail of pearls for the winged heart and a couple of extra pearls here and there for embellishment. The image itself was stamped with Memento black ink on adhesive backed linen and then colored with a combination of two Copic markers to get the right shade of color. I then painted the entire piece with Diamond Stickles to give it some sparkle - here's a close-up:

The sentiment is computer generated and printed on the reverse side of one of the DPs. I also added a little bit of white gel pen to the dots on the heart to give it a little more detail.

I wasn't sure I would like the finished project but I'm actually pretty pleased with it - it reminds me of vintagey Valentines - what do you think?

I also have a couple of photos to share with you of my Leia in the snow earlier in the week.

Talk about your action shot! This is her at a full head-on run directly toward me. Look at those ears flapping and the snow kicking up behind her!

And here she is after her run wondering why Mom is holding that camera (again) and not taking her inside where it's warm!  Dogs don't get photo ops! Go figure.

Thanks for joining me this week for my Growing in Unity week. I hope you have a relaxing weekend and be sure to spend a little time being creative  -
