Uniko July 2021 Reveal, Release Day, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone,

Yay! I'm so glad you are here today to see the Uniko July 2021 release reveal

It's a big release this month and a mixture of stamps and stencils, so sit back, relax and enjoy. 

Firstly the stamps and what I created with them:


Heat embossed Background Blocks Diagonal Stripe in gold. Stamped and fussy cut Paradise Leaves stamp set followed by heat embossing in clear.
Repeat stamped Background Blocks Grid stamp and coloured in black, blue, red and yellow. Die cut ‘happy’ from Big & Bold Happy die set to create an aperture and stamped sentiment and party confetti from corresponding stamp set.
Background Blocks - Layered Modern Floral stamped in blue and green on the top half. Background Blocks Grid stamped and coloured in blue on the bottom half. Ribbon and sentiment across the centre along with fussy cut flowers and leaves.
Stamped Block Party - Summer in Versamark onto grey card. Heat embossed in green, yellow, blue and lilac powder in diagonals. Die cut and layered onto grey card blank using foam pads.
Outline floral and leaf stamped onto grey card in dark grey (or Versamark) ink. Solid floral stamped in orange and outline stamped in grey onto white card and fussy cut. Orange florals attached using foam pads and any overhang trimmed off.

Simply Said Blocks III stamped in matching ink onto red, yellow and green card. Die cut circles, each larger than the one before and cut in half. Adhere to the card front as shown. Stamp more sentiments and fussy cut before adhering one on top of another to create a flower/windmill and add to the card front.


And now for the stencils:

With the Flower Power #8 stencil in place, used various colours of Nuvo drops to infill petal sections. Once dry, added heat embossed sentiments from the Uniko Birthday sentiments stamp set. (Don’t look too closely as there are some errors in my Nuvo drops but not too bad for a first attempt!).
Inked through Rainbow & Clouds stencil with white pigment ink onto dark blue card. Once dry, coloured rainbows with watercolour brush markers. Fussy cut and layered onto dark blue die cut squares and rectangles before arranging onto a dark blue slimline card base.
Inked card stock with Distress Oxide inks before laying the Squared stencil on top and inking through with white ink. Die cut with square nesting dies and added to dark teal card stock alternating flat lay and foam pad for dimension. 
Using various shades of green, ink through Tropical Leaf I stencil and fussy cut right hand edge. On another piece of card use orange ink through Tiger Print stencil followed by black ink, slightly offset. Add the leaf panel over the tiger stripe panel and add the sentiment from the Uniko Wild stamp set to finish. 

What a fabulous release from Uniko! Well done Bev.

My favourites are the mandala one, so creative with the nuvo drops, and the psychedelic one to show up the sentiments, such clever way to use circles!
