Faith Hope Love

Sharing this beautiful image from Unity Stamps today, if you saw the prizes I posted in the month of January then you saw just a tiny part of the Unity stamps that I have to give away!  There's lots of Unity stamp prizes.  I am also using some gorgeous Turkish lace on this photo.


QUESTION OF THE DAY:

what's your favorite card background color?  I love to use browns, whites, red, oranges, yellows.  I think they call these colors warms and neutrals.

That is a beautiful image and sentiment, Holley! Gorgeous coloring and beautiful lace. I love all colors, so I don't have a favorite for backgrounds. I do find myself using a lot of grays, browns, blues, and deep reds.
Thank you for all the fun this month!!

New Creations said...

I love mostly white, blues or pinks!

I was looking at my stack of cards that I have to send this week and all of them have dark card bases and patterned paper. The colors are all over the spectrum. How funny is that? This card is beautiful with the Unity stamp. Lovely.

Gorgeous colouring on the image and such a pretty card.
I love mostly white and blue colours..

Larisa said...

your card is stunning. I love the colors and that image is gorgeous.

Denise Bryant said...

Beautiful image and coloring! Love the pretty lace trim!
I use white most often and sometimes kraft. Occasionally, red, pink or light blue, especially for the holidays.

I love Unity - I think I have more stamps from them than any other company. Your card is beautiful - can't go wrong with any of their lady images or Angie Girls. I don't have a favorite color for a BG. I enter challenges with my cards so it just depends on what the particular challenge is to govern the BG choice.

Linda Vigil said...

I love Unity as well, and I truly admire this card, and amazing lace paired to perfection with how you colored the image. I love white and kraft, and otherwise do enjoy yellows, marine blues and soft greens, and pinks....

Candy Meyers said...

I tend to use white or black for my background colors. Kind of boring, I guess. Loved the burgundy lace.

Audrey R said...

Nice card, Holley! Love Unity stamps! I use a lot of printed scrapbook papers for my backgrounds. The small 6x6 pads are my favorite. Adding a saying and some embellishments with ribbon or lace complete the card!

ionabunny said...

Gorgeous card Holley. Love the colours and Unity Girls. Hmmm, card base colours are whatever I have that fits. Probably blue, black and white are most used, with a good splattering or red, green, brown and yellow. Hugz

Jean said...

Such a beautiful image and sentiment. I tend to stick to black, white and Kraft for my backgrounds.

Gaye said...

This is a beautiful and inspiring card. I like beiges, tans and ivories as backgrounds.

Kellyskardsfl said...

Adorable card! I love kraft, brown, pinks and blues.

Susan T. said...

Beautiful card! Your coloring is amazing as always. I use white or bold colors as my card base and love to add designer paper prints to tie the colors together. Assortment packs/pads of paper make it really easy to complete the card.

Karenladd said...

Your card is absolutely gorgeous and has such a serene feel. The kraft background is a favorite of mine too but I often use a white card base, or shades of blue, gray, or even black.

Dana M said...

Oh what a beautiful card Holley! So serene and reflective. I tend to make pretty clean and simple cards but sometimes so white is my most common background color. I do enjoy playing with techniques and using them for backgrounds as well as tossing in the occasional colored background (still pretty neutral).

StampNK said...

Your card is just lovely and you colored her perfectly. My coloring skills are not as advanced but I still like to stamp. I use all colors in my backgrounds but usually use cool colors or neutrals.

Kathy Dippner said...

Beautiful card! I received that woman image in a Unity grab bag but haven't used it yet. I use pretty much every color of the rainbow but probably use cool colors more.

bissecat said...

Beautiful card.This image is lovely.Unity stamps I like too . Too bad they are not sold in Finland and those current Customs Restrictions prevent orders from outside Europe. I use all colors in my backgrounds.

SHartl said...

I just love this gorgeous card and the sentiments fit the image completely. As for background colors, I use just about all colors except for yellow (unless I have to) and tan.

Tina Z. said...

Wow, your vsrd6us absolutely stunning, I love the image and lace.
My background colours are usually white, black and kraft. But I like all colours.

Tina Z. said...

I am sorry, my phone made a mess. Your card is absolutely stunning...

Debra Bagato said...

I love this stamp! I have this on my wall. My favorite background colors are blue. I always try to do different colors

cebelica said...

Very beautifull card. The sentiment goes perfectly with the image and the lace is just a cherry on top.

As for me, I often use blue as my background, but I also like to use pastel colours.

Sindhu said...

Lovely card... Lace is beautiful... I love to use white, craft and some times color background ...

Fikreta said...

very beautiful card!
on my card I like to use white card background.

grandmalee said...

Beautiful job on this card. I love that you don't overdo your cards so much that it distracts from the main image.
I guess I go more towards the neutral colors on my background cardstock. I used to experiment a lot with darker colors, but then I need to add a lighter piece to the inside anyway to be able to write a message that can be seen. I can't wait to see all the new stuff you'll be showcasing this month!

MadeByMeghanK said...

Gorgeous card! I LOVE the pink! My favorite backgrounds are using stencils with pink and glitter paste!

yvonne 3D said...

I love blue and pink backgrounds...

Melodyscraps, mixed media goddess said...

I don't have a favorite background color. I tend to coordinate by the preferences of the recipient or by the other things I'm planning to use. Since I like to use recycled papers and elements the best backgrounds are always changing.

Rhonda Miller said...

Beautiful. I like white, red, black, craft and blue backgrounds.

Gail Hutchinson said...

I Like neutral tones, because sometimes when I colour first and then match papers it is normally the best tones to go with.

KT Fit Kitty said...

Beautiful lady and beautiful card! Most of my cards are white but I occasionally make kraft. I also use red and blue around the holidays.

Marjeta said...

OMG! Lace is fantastic. Perfect match with super colored image. For background I like to combine diferent colors but my favorite is green and orange.

Jennifer Dillon said...

What a beautiful card and image I love using all colors of backgrounds.

Shelley said...

I use a lot of purples, greens & blues as backgrounds. This is a stunningly beautiful card.
