The Male Room Challenge #191 - Trees

Good Morning, 

Welcome to this month's challenge at The Male Room.  Challenge #191 has the theme of Trees.

I found this wonderful patterned paper amongst my stash and that gave me the ides of recreating the trees in matching colours using Funky Fossil Quirky Tree dies..

I'm really pleased with how well the die cut trees have matched the patterned paper. I know a lot of people think pink doesn't lend well to a masculine card but I'm not of that view when used correctly. I think the theme of 'Trees' lends a masculine air to this card and challenge.

Now pop over to The Male Room blog and check out the rest of the fabulous inspiration by the Design Team and add your creation to the mix too. 

Much love

Uniko Let's Have Some FLIPPIN' Seasonal Fun - Day 2

Hello there, 

Welcome to day 2 of our Uniko Brand Ambassador revisit of some previously released Ink & Flip stencils. Yesterday we had a play around with the Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Star stencil so today it's the turn of the Uniko Ink & Flip Snowflake stencil.

For my first card I created a shaker card, firstly inking the stencil in two shades of turquoise Distress Oxide ink. I then cut out the centre star, backed it with acetate, built up the edges with foam pads to create the shaker pocket and added in some clear sequins. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the Uniko Big & Bold Snow stamp set) directly on the card base and adhered the shaker topper to finish. 

My next card uses Uniko Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas stamp to repeat stamp the background. I then drew the snowflake using the Uniko Ink & Flip Snowflake stencil and coloured the background to highlight the snowflake in the centre. I went on to create a second card in this style to see what it looked like if some of the background were darkened.

The sentiment on both cards comes from the Uniko Christmas Sentiments stamp set. I can't decide which I prefer, how about you?

There is of course lots of brilliant inspiration over on the Uniko blog and the Brand Ambassadors blogs, so make sure you have a hop over there to check it out. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the sneak peeks of two new Uniko Ink & Flip stencils!
