Tan triste cuando se acaba... GIU day #5

 Hi everyone:

Tan triste cuando se acaba translates to "so sad when it ends". My last day as the Growing in Unity gal this week has come to an end. But it is nothing a refill can't fix! Today's card features set Hot Flash Happy Hour and the paper pack Vino Vibes. No worry can survive a nice chat with a friend and some vino. I paper pieced the top of of image and Copic colored the rest. Added glossy accents to the wine glass and a piece of sackcloth I had lying around. A bit of golden thread of a metallic touch completes the card. I really hope you all enjoyed my creations this week. I sure had fun creating these.  Don't forget to leave a comment either here on the blog or my Facebook page Maia Ink for a chance to win a $20 store credit at Unity Stamp Co. Two random winners will be selected from comments throughout the week. Can't wait to see what Unity brings on next year for Growing in Unity. As a special note: a huge virtual hug for all gals going through perimenopause/menopause cause *sigh it can get rough. 

XOXO,

Anya Lynet

Getting started - GIU day #4

 Hello!

Today's card is a special one. A darling image and sentiment from the set Once the Story Opens. All the sentiments on this stamp set are special. I had to have it. I went "old school" and colored the image with regular colored pencils and combined it with already cut pieces of patterned paper from my stash to help with the cause of making space for new paper :) I added Glossy Accent to the glasses for a shiny touch.

Not so Scary Wednesday! GIU day 3

Hello!

Halloween season is gone but this little monster is cute all year round. I just can't with the cuteness and the coordinating patterned papers are perfect. The stamp set's name is Monster Mayhem and the coordinating paper pack has the same name, Monster Mayhem. I paper pieced the image with one of the papers and that way I combined those two iconic characters that we love so much *wink, wink. I added googly eyes from my stash to add to the not so scariness. I hope you have been enjoying my cards so far this week.

Growing in Unity 2026 Day 2

 Happy Tuesday!

Today's card features a stamp set that as soon as I saw it, a name came to my mind, my brother's.

The Dad Mode - Grumpy Bunny set was definitely inspired in my brother down to the robe! He may be grumpy sometimes but he's a sweetheart! I used Copics to color the image. The patterned paper is from the paper pack Rustic Wood and the other one was in my already cut stash, so I have no idea of name/brand.
