Have you found the Artist in You?

As this month's Guest Designer for Unity Stamps I have been given the huge honor of sharing in today's blog hop with the fabulous Unity DT who are showcasing a brand new stamp set that was created by the wonderful Donna Downey!

Her set is called the Artist in You and contains the most striking silhouette images and fabulous sayings that are perfect for many of your paper crafts projects.


If  you visit Donna's blog not only will you be blown away by her incredible talents, but you will also be inspired to create.  She has taken a pledge and even started a campaign to encourage others to allow their inner creative selves to come out!  You can read more about this campaign on her BLOG!

I can definitely tell you that I was wonderfully inspired to create something as soon as I saw her stamp set.  Using the Artist in You I created the following card...

The effect I was going for with this card was to create the idea that there was a sunset behind the foliage.  Using my Scor-Pal I embossed a square for my image to be stamped in  Then after stamping my image and sentiment onto the cardstock, I sponged four different colors of yellow and orange to created the gradated coloring behind the silhouette.

Here is a closeup of the silhouettes with the sunset behind them.  The ribbon is from Michael's.

Here is a closeup of part of the sentiment and shows where I added three tiny crystals for an accent.

Be sure to visit the Unity Stamp Blog today so you can see this set in its entirety and learn how you can purchase it, and also find the links to all the DT member's blog so you can be incredibly inspired.  Also don't forget to stop by Donna's blog to be inspired even further!

Have a great Thursday and may your bucket overflow with creativity that flows out from within the Artist in You!
