Growing In Unity Day One: Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Day One of my week as a Growing in Unity Gal for Unity Stamps!  I am excited to share some of the cards I create using Unity's amazing stamps. Today is a special day for my family, it's my son's eighteenth birthday!  It also happens to be April Fool's Day, which is why the title of this post is "Merry Christmas"!  In honor of April Fool's Day, I am sharing my favorite Christmas stamp from Unity Stamps.  It's called 'Unto Us' (you can click on the name to see the stamp set at Unity's website).
The stamp set was designed by Phyllis Harris - she's one of my favorite Unity stamp artists, so you will see a couple more of her stamps used this week. Speaking of this week, I hope you will join me each day this week to see what I've made and to enter to win some Unity stamps!  Entering is easy, just leave a comment on each post this week (I'll have a question for you to answer) and 2 winners will be chosen to win some Unity stamps!!  Today's question: How long have you been using (or admiring) Unity Stamps? Just leave your answer in the comments below and you'll be entered! Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!

  1. I love this stamp! Your coloring is spot on, too. I have been admiring (and collecting) Unity for a year, now. I've to put myself on a Unity "diet" because it's become an obsession. I'm looking forward to seeing your cards this week! Dawn

    1. Hi Kim - I used a mix of Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils for the coloring. The background is all copic and the animals are mostly prismacolors. :)
