I've always loved this Unity stamp but had never inked it up. Thankfully Lindsey used it recently on this fantastic card and it inspired me to ink up my own. I used this week's Colour Throwdown colours along with Unity and PTI stamps.
And lest you all think I completely forgot (yes, I'm two days late!) - here's the winner of the Print Candee gift certificate:
