Uniko's 13th Birthday reveal, release, Brand Ambassador blog hop and GIVEAWAY is here! If it's felt like a long time in coming, that's because there are so many delightful products on this release the fantastic introductions have been keeping us in great anticipation all week. But here we are, lets get on with the reveal and a few more cards from me:
Uniko Geometric Happy Birthday Stencil
This is FREE with all Release Day orders of £15 or more while stocks last.
To create this card I inked up the new stencil and then masked it before inking up the Uniko Zebra Print stencil, however as this isn't currently available in the Uniko store I also created it using the new BB Waves stamp set below.
Uniko Background Blocks Waves Stamp Set
As with the first card, I started by inking the new Geometric Happy Birthday stencil. I then masked the words and tried to stamp over the top but even with the thinnest masking layer, I couldn’t get the Background Blocks Waves to stamp as neatly as I wanted around the edges of the stencilling. So I started again and stamped the BB Waves first. I took my original stencilled sentiment and cut it out, then layered it over the stamped BB Waves.
Uniko Bright Butterflies Layering Stencil
I have always been drawn to butterflies in display cases or frames so that was my idea for this card. Each butterfly is framed by the black card. What I really enjoyed about these stencils is that you can lay them down and ink them as they are or you can move the detail about a bit and create new patterns your butterflies.
Uniko Spring Botanicals Primrose & Re-Introduced Uniko Bright Butterflies Stamp Set
I thought these two sets would work nicely together so I white heat embossed the primrose and used my inks to paint on the colour to create a watercolour effect. I then heat embossed the butterflies having a flutter above the flowers.
Uniko Alphabet Solid Stamp Set & Uniko Organic Blooms Stamp Set
What I really like about an individual alphabet stamp is that you can create vertical sentiments. Perfect for this slimline style of card. I stamped the sentiment then masked it before stamping the Organic Blooms florals and stems around it. Finally colouring in with alcohol markers.
Uniko Layering Organic Blooms Stencil
Here I used parts of the stencil to create a frame around the outside of the card which was cut to slightly smaller than the card base. I then stamped the sentiment from the Uniko Birthday Wishes stamp set in the centre.
Aren't these just amazing?! The layering stencils are always fantastic fun to play around and get inky with. Now don't forget there is lots more creativity over on the Uniko blog and the Brand Ambassadors blogs and if you leave lovely comments along the way you will be in with the chance of winning a £25 eGift Certificate.
Much love
