Unity Stamps - Friends with Flare Friday

I love Unity Stamps just about as much as I love their weekly  Friends with Flare Blog Hop.  It inspires me to get out the stamps I love and use them!  This week I used this Life stamp for the first time and paired it with paper from Authentique.  Love the way it came out and can't wait to use that stamp again.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Authentique December Challenge

I love the monthly sketch challenges posted by Authentiqe Paper.  The sketches are a great starting point for designing and the paper is always a treat to work with.

Here's the sketch, what I created and list of supplies used:

This month I chose to use my newly acquired (from Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA) Free Bird, Series One, Delight paper.  The beautiful stickpins are from a wonderful Etsy shop by the name of Scrap Happy Supplies.  The ribbon is Hug Snug Seam Binding from Zipper Stop that I hand died with Antique Linen Distress Ink from Ranger.  The sentiment is from Savvy Stamps and stamped with Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink in Charcoal.  The punched and die cut shapes include the Stampin' Up Decorative Label Punch (in pink) and Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags and Accents designed by Samantha Walker (in cream).
