I love the colors from Kristina's Color Inspiration #55, which were inspired by her boss's skirt … and aren't those some great shoes too. I combined it with Card Sketch #20 from Card Patterns.
I also finally gave in and joined the Unity kit club. Every month the sets keep getting better … and every month I wish I had them. This month they included some additional Bevy of Butterfly stamps, so I finally took the plunge. They are awesome stamps and come mounted on cling foam and pre-cut, so they're ready to use right out of the package … gotta love that.
I stamped the Unity floral image in Burnt Sienna ColorBox Chalk and painted the flowers with an aqua painter and Yellow Cadmium ink. I added some gray highlights with a Sakura sparkle pen. I made the decorative frame was inspired by the ruffle at the bottom of the skirt. I made it using a Martha Stewart border punch. I also used the Cuttlebug Paisley embossing folder to mimic the skirt's paisley design.
