Hip Hop Thursday and New Unity Stamps!

Today is Hip Hop Thursday with Unity Stamps...woohoo! Okay, yes, I was so excited to get my new Unity stamps! Here is my first Unity card using the Beach Days and Sun Rays stamp set, below. I made this card for the SCS sketch challenge. I love these stamps and something tells me that I'm going to enjoy more of their stamps!

I watercolored some sand and then used micro beads to make it look like sand.
Thanks for looking!
