Hello everyone! I’m excited to be part of the Growing in Unity Blog hop today! Life for us is really busy with family visiting from out of town, so I wanted to make a quick project for you all today. This didn’t take much time but adds so much to my door.

I started with a chalk board I purchased from JoAnn Fabrics. I had wanted to hang it up where I can change messages on it as I want. But I thought it needed something on it, so I went looking through my Unity Stamps to find something that would make my sign pop. I tried a few different options but then came across this “Border of Magnolias” stamp.

I originally thought about putting a border on each side but decided I liked it on one side better. I stamped it on a white then colored with a pink and green colored pencil. I then used Gamsol to blend out the colored pencil. I love using this as I can quickly color and not worry about lines then blend everything together.
Stamped it twice to get it long enough Quick color with pencils Blended with Gamsol
I then cut out the flowers. I have a love/hate relationship with fussy cutting. I love how it looks and when I start, but with the stems so thin I was hating it by time I finished it – lol. I then glued it onto the board and I was done. I used a erasable chalk marker to write on the sign.
Be sure to leave a comment on each blog for a change to win a Unity prize.
