Last day for Growing in Unity

Wow, times goes so fast when you have fun!!
Today is my last day for Growing in Unity!
And I have some flowers and butterlfly projects for today.

These gorgeous Poppies are from the kit Never be Afraid.
I am not a KOTM member, but i was so lucky to get this stamp of a lovely lady who didn't use it, thanks again Ellen!!
Stamped with stazon and colored with watercolor pencils.
The background is made with a stencil and Distress oxide, it looks pale as it was leftover ink on the stencil :D

This card I made just a few days before Whitney made a video and made a card that looked a bit like this. She just stamped in colored inks, but i stamped with black ink and colored with copics.
The background is made with PanPastel.
The butterfly is from the kit: Beautiful Birthday Wishes
The sentiment is from the kit: Free Your Dreams.
 

This one I  made after Whitney's inspiration video, Butterfly is from Beautiful Birtday Wishes.
Stamped with Distress Oxides. Thecolors are so beautiful when you stamp with those inks!

For this day I made some Sympathy cards, sometimes you just need those.
I usally make sympathy cards in black and white.

For the first card I used Dream big, a beautiful butterfly stamp, which I can't link as it at the moment not in the store.
I heat embossed on mirror cardsctock, and because I heated it, the foil became matt instead of shiny, great effect.
The sentiment is not Unity this time.

Another one with Dream big, here heat embossed with white embossingpowder.
The sentiment is from the kit May strength surround you.

This heart is also beautiful for sympathy cards, it is called Your beautiful heart.
Heat embossed with black embossingpowder.

And the last one, also with Your beautiful heart and now with white embossingpowder.
Quick cards but I think they are nice for the purpose.
