Growing in Unity: Day 1 ~ Stamping with Zig Clean Color Markers

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  This week I have the honor of being the Growing in Unity girl!  That means I get to share a project using some fabulous Unity Stamp Co. products every day and at the end of it all, TWO WINNERS will be drawn from all of the comments on my blog posts and you'll each get 25 stamps from Unity!!  How great is that??  This is the first stamp company I fell in love with when I started card making and it is just so much fun to be able to showcase their beautiful stamps.  And the people over there are just the best!


To kick things off I have a nice and simple card to share with you. Sometimes you just need to get a card make, ya know?  As much as I'd love to be able to spend hours on every single card I create, I think it is also a valuable skill to be able to use my supplies to quickly put together fun projects when I'm in a time crunch.  Unity stamps are great for that because they are so detailed and beautiful that they honestly don't need much to make your project perfection!



For this card I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color directly onto the polka dots border stamp from the Magic of Beginnings kit and stamp onto a Bristol Smooth White card base.  I experimented with lots of fun colors to get a rainbow background.  The beautiful sentiment with dots from the Moments Like These kit was the perfect compliment to my colorful rainbow polka dots!  I finished this simple design with some black sketch lines and Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins.  I love how colorful it is!

Don't forget to leave a comment below to be entered for your chance to win 25 random stamps from Unity!  And check back in every day this week to get even more entries!  Thanks so much for joining me today and I'll see you all tomorrow.  Bye!

  44. Tara do you have a hard time stamping on Bristol? I'm guessing a Misti would help but it seems so slick with just an acrylic block. Love these colors!

  61. I like the contrast between the bright colors and the black sentiment image. I'll have to try coloring right on the stamp. Zigs and Unity are a good combo.
