I'm back with a Guest Designer card for the All Things Unity Challenge #42! A new challenge begins today and we have a BINGO card to inspire you. You can choose a column, row or diagonal and incorporate all the elements to come up with a unique card or you can even use the general BINGO theme. It's completely open to your creative interpretation.
For my inspiration, I chose the leftmost column including misting, twine, buttons and nesties. My card uses the flowers with button centres from Unity's July 2011 Kit of the Month, Better Together. I haven't used much of this Kit so it felt great to ink it up. I stamped the flowers three times each and cut them out at different lines to layer them. I threaded The Twinery's baker's twine through the centres and assembled the flowers. I used a Blopen to do the misting, adhered the flowers to the card and stamped the sentiment which is from the same Kit. I didn't have purple ink that matched the Blopen so I doubled-stamped using two different purples to get an exact match.
I certainly hope you will be inspired to play along with the ATU #42. I'd love to see what you make using Unity and Ippity stamps. Click HERE for all the details on how to play and win!

What a cool challenge to begin with -- and your card is super-cool! I love your old-skool misting (add blopens to your old-but-still-works list, eh?), and the colors make me happy too. Nice package!
