A Thankful Hip Hop!

World Card Making Day Challenges.

Without further adieu, the winner of my challenge is Katylynn with this gorgeous one layer card...

Thank you so much Katylynn!! Your card is so beautiful and such an inspiration for me!!  Please email Jimmi at Jimmi.mayo@gmail.com to claim your prize!  You have won the wonderful Ippity stamp set called

Faith Blooms

So to start off the Hip Hop today, please head over to the Unity Blog to get started!

Our theme for today's Hop is Giving Thanks or Being Thankful!!

I needed to make a "Thank You" card for a dear friend who recently gave me a gift, and so it was a perfect opportunity to pull some amazing Ippity Stamps!!

For my card today I used a Bit of Burlap and the "Many Thanks" sentiment from Bitty Pixie Paisley.

    

The DP is from BG's Pyrus collection.  It is perfect for this time of year with those deep fall colors.

I used SU's ink in the Really Rust and Chocolate Chip colors.

Today is World Card Making Day and do we have some fun planned for you!!

Many of the Unity and Ippity DT members have created challenges for you so you can participate in this fun event.  Just head over to the Unity Challenge Forum to look for all the WCMD challenges that have been created for you.  You will have two weeks to participate and one lucky participant in my challenge (USCWCMD21) will win the Faith Blooms stamp set for participating!  Have fun!!

My challenge for you is to create a ONE LAYER CARD!

SCS Keyword: USCWCMD21

you have two weeks to complete this challenge and upload it

 to the SCS Gallery using the key word above.

It's OK if you add an embellishment to your layer, but ONLY have ONE layer of paper!!

Here is the card that I created for this challenge!!

To make my card I used the Ippity Stamp set called Quotes A La Happy which is one of my favorites from the Summer Release!  Do you want and Ippity stamp set???  Just click HERE to find an Ippity Chick selling Ippity stamps near you!!  

To enhance a ONE LAYER CARD, you might consider doing things like I did above.  I used my Scor-Pal to make an embossed frame around the sun and I also added some paper piercing.  Then below my sentiment I added an organza ribbon!

I colored in my sun image with Copic markers and love how the bright and sunny colors just pop off the page and give more dimension despite the fact that the image is only one dimensional!

And isn't this sentiment just the bomb???  What a wonderful statement to live by.  This world is negative enough, so I hope that this can inspire all of us to bring a little sunshine into it!!
