Growing In Unity Day 5

Welcome to Day 5 of my GIU posts!
Wow!  This week has gone by way too fast!

The theme today is "anything goes."

colored using Copic Markers

using the black magic technique - images stamped using white pigment ink on black cardstock and colored using Colored Pencils

tone on tone cardstock and ink stamping - image colored using Colored Pencils

image background created using Crayola Markers scribbled on acetate, spritzed with water and then smooshed over image 
to give a watercolor wash

I hope that you have enjoyed viewing/commenting on my GIU cards this week.  I have certainly enjoyed reading your comments and especially enjoyed having the GIU opportunity.

It will take a few days to determine and announce the winners of the two Unity Prize packages.  Winners will be announced on my blog and also on the GIU Facebook page.  Good luck to each of you in the draw!
