Growing in Unity Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to my blog.

As part of the Growing in Unity Blog Hop, I created a birthday card using Good Times Begin set from Unity Stamp Co.

 I stamped 4 sets of the lantern images and colored them. After I cut the images, I adhered the lanterns on top of the quatrefoil background.

I also stamped a sentiment image on the inside of the card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Don't forget to visit other blogs in the hop:
