Growing in Unity - Day 5

Happy Friday!  

Are you in the holiday shopping and partying frenzy yet?  We hit the ground running every single year as soon as Thanksgiving is over.  My husband and kids are all instrumentalist which means Christmas concerts and holiday performances almost every weekend in December.  My daughter was chosen to represent her school in an honor band at the local university which has added to our already busy schedules this week.  But I will make good use of the empty house catching up on creating my Christmas cards.  I am so far behind, I think some people will be receiving Happy New Year Cards.

Thank you for visiting my blog during my GIU week, I have loved inking up my stamps and sharing them with you.  The final card of the week is one that I received just last week.  I was in the process of placing an order when my husband walked over to my desk, he asked what I was ordering and I replied "stamps that I don't really need but they are so pretty".  He started browsing with me and decided he (yes, HE) needed the Adornment border background stamp.   

Truth be told he is an amazing artist and certainly colors with Copics better than I can on my best day.  But he got busy with a report at work and wasn't able to color the image for me.  I broke out the Copics (B16, B18, E50, Y28, G05 & RV29) and created this fun card with the set.  Oh My Goodness, this is hands down my favorite Christmas stamp this season.  The sentiment is an older Stampin' Up set that I believe is retired now but it pairs perfect witht he Adornment background. 

Have a lovely weekend!
