Unity Challenge Wednesday: Week 3

The third week of Unity Challenge Wednesday is being hosted by Latisha from A Busy Little Craftee Bee. Her challenge was to make a square card with scallops. She provided a basic sketch to follow, too. The funny thing is, I created this card before I saw the sketch, working only from the square card and scallops requirements. It ended up looking pretty close to the sketch without even having seen it yet!

My card is a 4 1/4" by 4 1/4" square. I used the oven mitt image from Unity's Lovin’ from the Oven for the main image on my card. I colored the image with Copic markers, then trimmed around it. I attached it to a white panel, scored in a diagonal grid pattern to match the pattern on the oven mitt. This is layered on a scalloped mat.

I stamped the “hey hottie” sentiment in white pigment ink on a piece of black cardstock, then embossed it with white embossing paper for a strong contrast. I left just enough space to the right of the words to squeeze in a felt heart.

You can see what the other challenge participants have created by visiting their blogs. You can find links to them in the sidebar on the right.
