Hi all,
Welcome to a new challenge at AAA Colourful. Today we have challenge #30 with a colourboard as follows:
Almost Merry Christmas!
Everyone ready for Christmas? No me either! Anyway lets not dwell on that when we can be creating something lovely with this month's colourboard from AAA Colourful.
Don't forget you have until 14th Jan to join in so if you are too busy before Christmas, you still have time afterwards.
The colours made me think of ice and snowflakes so I used Uniko's Large Snowflake Two stencil and used three of the colours from the board to ink it up.
Plenty of fabulous inspiration over on the AAA Colourboard blog and that's where you can join in the fun too.
Much love

Welcome!
Today is the release of the new Uniko Mid Century Modern Baubles stencil and mask set. This new product teams with the Uniko Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set and can also be used on it's own.
For this card I have used the stencil to ink up the three baubles and with the stencil in place I have splattered them with white and gold paints. Once dry, I added the masks over each bauble and splattered the areas around each one with the colour they are inked in. I added the bauble hangers from the matching stamp set and the sentiment from Uniko Festive Sentiments stamp set.
With this card I wanted to create the opposite effect to the first so I adhered the masks to white card stock and inked around them with Distress Oxide inks. I removed the masks and splattered the card with water (to activate the DO's) and gold watercolour paints. I stamped the hangers and bauble 'shine' using the matching stamp set and finally added a sentiment from the Uniko Most Wonderful stamp set.
So as you can see, there is lots of fun to be had with the new stencil and by revisiting the stamp set. The rest of the Brand Ambassadors have been showcasing these product this week too and we now have a BA blog and socials hop for you to check out the inspiration. Leave some love along the way and you could be the lucky randomly chosen winner of a £20 Uniko eGift voucher.

Good morning,
Retro Autumn?! What do I mean by that? Well simply that I have combined the Uniko Layering Retro Lines stencil with a few Uniko autumnal sets.
I stencilled three panels with the same green shades using part of the Uniko Layering Retro Lines stencil. To all three I added a sentiment from the Uniko Butterfly Serenade stamp set.
For this first card I used a grey ink and added a floral outline from the Uniko Originally Organic stamp set.
Next I added some colour using the Uniko Autumn Serenade stamp set, both the large stamp and some of the smaller elements in the set also.
Finally I went super simple with just one leaf stem stamped in green from the Uniko Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set, and added a few dots of colour with Nuvo drops.
The change in weather in the UK is definitely influencing my crafting this year. I can't remember it doing so in previous years other than I do like to switch over to festive crafting in autumn because they are my favourite cards to make! Do the seasons influence your crafting style?
Much love

Good morning,
As with our revisit of the 2025 Uniko release products earlier this month, I have focussed my Brand Ambassador inspiration on Christmas and a 2025 release product, namely Uniko Layering Spring Blossom stencil.
I have used one inking of the Spring Blossom stencil to create all three cards and added elements to the last card using Uniko Layering Bauhaus Christmas stencil.

Welcome!
Yay! We made it to release day here at Uniko and now we can treat you to the full product pictures, along with some more fabulous inspiration using the new products.
Background Builders Mid Century Modern
Background Blocks Bauhaus
Background Blocks MOD Circle Builder
Background Blocks Swiss Dots
Layering Retro Stripes Stencil
Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves Stencil
Now for one more card created using a couple of my favourites from the above release.
I think I have to declare the Background Builders Mid Century Modern as my favourite because there are an infinite amount of design combinations to be had. I do rather like the other Uniko background builders sets so if you do to then this is the set for you. I stamped the semi circles and yellow and green shapes before adding the two 'tramlines'. I then thought, 'I wonder what this would look like with Swiss dots over the top'...luckily the Background Blocks Swiss Dots stamp fit neatly inside the two lines I had stamped...it was meant to be!
Lots more fun to be had with these stamps and stencils and I will definitely be keeping these on my desk for a while longer and having a play!
But of course, the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have had a great time with these sets too and you can see this over on the Uniko blog. Join in with the blog hop and you could be in with a chance of winning a £25 eGift code for the Uniko store.

Morning all,
Today we have two new stencils to introduce and we are starting with Uniko Layering Retro Stripes.
For some reason this stencil reminded me of a doll I used to own called Rainbow Bright. She definitely had a blue dress and I wonder if she had a rainbow similar to this design which is what triggered the memory. So, I used rainbow colours onto blue card but I had to ink all the layers in white ink first to help the colours show.
For my next card I've moved the stencil around a bit to create a different pattern and added a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Uniko Big & Bold Wish stamp set with matching dies.
Next up we are introducing Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves stencil.
Here I have randomly inked the leaves and left spaces for flowers which I inked using another stencil.
For this card I used the stencil the other way and placed my flowers with the pointy part of the leaf facing upwards. I teamed the stencil with Uniko Mid Century Modern Florals stamp set for the flower heads and the leaf centres.
Two really great stencils which we will all have a great time playing around with. And you can see lots more super inspiration over on the Uniko blog.
Don't forget we have the full reveal, release, blog hop and GIVEAWAY tomorrow. See you then!
Much love
