Unity GIU, Day Five: 1 Stamp, 5 Projects: Art Journal

And so it has come, my last day as your GIU gal for Unity Stamp Co. It's been a great week and I hope I have shown you that your stamps can be used for more than just card making. 

To finish off my week I have decided to get whimsical and colorful spread for my art journal. An art journal is a fabulous place to play around, try out new techniques, and just create for the fun of it. I decided to go all rainbow. I saw a cute meme on Facebook the other day and it inspired this page. The Cuddlebug Zebra is the star, with a guest appearance by the cloud from Sending Up Something Beautiful Be sure to see how it was made by viewing the video below.

Thanks for joining me this week. I hope I was able to show you how to stretch your stamp stash to use in a variety of project formats. Be sure to leave comments on all the days so that you have a better chance at winning one of the prizes! Until next time, happy stamping!

    Genius idea with the inks on the stencil. I've done that when I've had other mediums on the stencil but never purposely put ink on the stencil! So very creative! Love your journal page with your signature clouds! Great week Laura!

    Love the colorful rays extending from the
    sun. Great way to remember a fantastic
    trip. The zebra has the right idea - all
    those stripes, need to fill them in.
    thanks for sharing a fun week.

    You did an amazing job all week with just one stamp set. The rainbow zebra made my day.

    I agree with Elizabeth, the rainbow zebra was great, I love how you used the stencil as a stamp. I also enjoyed the zebra cartoon - that colored himself, since coloring relieves stress - and it does. It was a great week thanks for sharing.
