Since I'm not sure of fitting some Unity stamps in with any daily challenges, I thought I'd better make a couple of "just because" cards in order to achieve my goal of using 4 previously un-inked stamps this month.
For this one, I stamped the autumn posy on watercolour paper, coloured with Inktense pencils and sponged and stippled. The sentiment is stamped on some watercolour paper that I'd been going to use as the base layer and then gave up on.
Instead, I found a piece of card in my box which had been embossed with a flourish ef inked in blue. I stamped over it with Canvas to add some unity to the card. Gold gel pen details on the card base, and little pearls on the sentiment which was folded in banner fashion.

Yikes, Sabrina, you come up with some of the coolest ideas EVER! Stamping on an embossed piece with the canvas stamp from Unity was a spark of genius ! Love the flowers and leaves together on the sponged layer, and making a banner out of a strip of paper really made it look neat! Mounting this on dark brown and edging it with the gold gel pen just took it over the top!!

What a neat find in your box! And I like that image you and how you colored it with pencils. I forget to use pencils. We just have so much stuff, we can't possible use it all! Lovely Just Because card, Sabrina.
