Hello again, friends! Today is my favorite project in this week's "Growing in Unity" series with
Unity Stamps. I created this 4x6 mixed media canvas to really showcase this great quote from the "It's All Worth It" kit by Melody Ross, and used other stamps from the set to create added depth and texture. I made the tree by rolling and crinkling strips of kraft paper.
 |
| Materials: Unity Stamps, We R rub-ons, Scenic Route and Sassafrass Lass scraps |
Here are a few more details from the canvas:
 |
| A little "you + me" carving in the tree |
 |
| I'm not sure how well you can tell in the picture, but I used the pretty floral corner stamp first in brown. Then I stamped just one of the big flowers with red paint, and went back in with a black pen to accent it when it was dry. Such a nice pop of color! |

| This little birdie is a Stampin Up punch, distressed with acrylic inks. |
Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win some Unity stamps of your own!

I love the feeling of depth you achieved. Very pretty.
I love this so much. I am looking different ideas for a tree for a canvas I am working on. Could you give some more details on how you did the tree?

Hi, Haleymc1 -- I cut kraft paper into strips about 1/4" wide, then rolled and krinkled them to create the strips for the tree. I think I used hot glue to secure them to the canvas, but it's been a long time now! Hope that helps!
Love love love this!
