Friends of Unity Blog Hop-August 2026

 


Happy Saturday!  I am so glad to be back participating in the Friends of Unity Blog Hop this month.  Our theme is Grunge, which I also call Shabby Chic.  This is one of my favorite styles.  I'm the second stop on the hop--you should have arrived here from Crystal's blog.

My first card features a floral image from Chapters & Crossings (KOM 3/25) as well as elements from an old Layers of Life set, Devotion and Faith (July 2015) and Painted Punchinella Background stamp.  The cool thing about the grunge style is that it is messy and fluid.  Anything goes--more texture, more blending, subtle details building into something beautiful.


I had an extra floral image trimmed and colored, but shifted directions to create this little ATC using a playing card as my base.


Finally, I used Gentle Hours for my last card.


Thank you so much for stopping by!  Your next stop is Von Marie :) Enjoy!
TTFN, Jane
