Unity Friday Friends With Flair -2nd post today - please scroll down for the Caffinated Cropper Customer Blog Hop!

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! What a busy and exciting Unity week! Unfortunately I only have one card to share with you today due to the fact I've been swamped with other commitments and I absolutey had to do some serious Unity shopping today! Don't you just love the new Unity Cosmo Cricket sets? I can't wait to receive mine!




My card for today was made for the Unity Anniversary Martini Sketch Challenge #1. I used my Unity April KOTM - Together We Bloom. Products used: Bazzill and Neenah cs, CTMH, Cosmo and DCVW dp, Copic markers, CTMH buttons, twine, maching stitching, Nestabilities, FabricLand gingham ribbon and Ippity Moulin Rouge ink. The twist on the sketch was that we were to use 3 buttons and ribbon on our project. Here's a look at the sketch:
