I am so excited to get to participate as a Growing In Unit Artist once again. It was such a thrill to see my name on the list for this year and really was a great way to start off 2021!!!. What an awesome opportunity to share my love of stamping and coloring. Unity Stamps are among the best quality you can purchase. Their deeply etched red rubber leaves a clean crisp image every time.
For my first project I am using this wonderful image of a group of succulents from the Succ-y without you stamp set. My youngest daughter and I are HUGE succulent fans and have quite a collection of them. We've been growing babies from clippings all summer and they are safely tucked away against the house for the winter.
To celebrate her love of these plants I thought it was fitting to create something she can hang in her room near her window where her favorite little friends reside in cute little pots. I had this wonderful letter "O" that was ready to be altered. I stamped all around the letter using Memento ink. Being careful to fill in the gaps with extra little parts from this wonderful stamp. The images were then colored using various colors of Copic markers to show off the amazing colors that these fabulous plants can come in.
Look at the amazing details included on this stamp!!!
Here is a close up of one of the sections:
This was a fun project to make and any excuse I have to pull out one of my succulent plant books for color reference is always a good day! I hope you have enjoyed my first project this week and come back each day to see what I have created.
At the end of my week I get to chose two people that leave me a comment to win a fabulous Unity prize.
See you tomorrow...and happy crafting!!

Congratulations on being named the Growing in Unity Artist for this week. I share your love of succulents, too. I have many containers of hens and chickens I saved from my mother's home when it was sold. They are fabulous! The altered "O" you designed is so pretty. You have gotten the colors just right!

What a fun project and I love that you used one of your books to help with how to color the image. You did a great job with it.
