Blog Hop with Unity and the Ribbon Carousel!

The Ribbon Carousel is teaming up with Unity Stamps for a fabulous Blog Hop!


There's HEAPS of inspiration along this hop, so I'm going to jump right into the good stuff.  ;-)


I used the super cute Unity Stamps Life's Short...Eat Cake! set for my card.  I black embossed the sentiment on watercolour paper and coloured it with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.  When it was dry I coated it with Glossy Accents.  The background was done by stamp-a-ma-jig-ing the month stamp from Life's Short...Eat Cake! using Versamark. From the Ribbon Carousel, I used Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock in Peanut Cluster, Banana Split and Licorice Twist, and some 3/8"Grosgrain Horizontal Lines Ribbon in Orange/Yellow and Red/Orange.


I used the current RetroSketches sketch for my layout.



You want to know about the prizes, right?  The Ribbon Carousel are giving away a ribbon carousel to one lucky blog hop participant! AND Unity Stamps are giving away a whopping TEN itty bitty stamps (winner's choice) !! Just make sure you hop and leave some blog love along your way to be eligible for the prizes!
