Uniko Beautiful Blooms

By
I was delighted to win an eGift Certificate recently from Uniko to spend in store during their 11th Birthday celebrations when this card was chosen as winner in the Birthday Card Link Party.  I've been playing with some of my new purchases and created three Spring cards with a set of layering floral stamps called Beautiful Blooms III.  Sentiments are a mix from other sets.


I cut a mask so I could add all the buds and leaves after the blooms were stamped in place.  Two have vellum strip sentiments stamped and heat embossed in gold.

Pink version was stamped to create
an all over background
Purple version has three main blooms
with large leaves

This yellow version has a centre strip placed over the stamped panel as I wanted to use Claritystamp's large 'Spring' word.

I've used - A6 cream card bases
Uniko stamp sets: Beautiful Blooms III,
Paradise, Simply Said Blocks, English Country Garden Butterflies
Claritystamp 'Spring' stamp
Various stamp pads: Versafine Clare, VersaColor, Memento

    I enjoyed your Pink and Purple card that you've created for our MMM challenge P is for..... I love the vellum and butterfly that you've added. I can't decided which one I like better but I think is PURPLE!

I Spy With My Little Eye ... Guest Designer

So lovely to be invited by Ellie from Simply Ellibelle's blog as guest designer for challenge 14 of " I spy with my little eye.... something with wings " selected by Pauline.  A fabulous theme with so many possibilities ... I chose to ink up this wonderful large scale owl with draft lines and geometric styling and created a spotlight die-cutting technique. Owl stamped and heat embossed with clear EP then die cut part of the image into a circle.  To make the background, two different distress inks (one green, one blue) were smooched onto the remaining panel.  I did some light stencilling in areas, blue ink for the hex matrix pattern, white ink for the circles with iridescent mica pigment powder so they catch the light.  Finally some over stamping in smoke blue ink (which looks more light grey) for the doodle patterns and additional words (spread your wings, soar, fly).  Die cut circle has another layer underneath so it's slightly raised and left uncoloured.  Die cut &a

Let it Snow

Crafting has been a bit hit and miss for me of late as family life has just got in the way but at last a Christmas card made for two challenges, a late entry for  September's CAS Mix Up  and a new colour challenge that has caught my interest called  Color Hues . I masked off a panel on the front of my card base and blended a mix of blue inks to create an ombre effect from turquoise to navy with a few splatters of water to add interest and lift some of the ink.  I've not embossed with dies very much so had to hunt where I had written down the sandwich for my Big Shot!  I'd forgotten how little pressure was needed to get a lovely embossed impression.  I chose a few snowflake dies and positioned them partly on/off my inked panel to widen the overall design then stamped the gorgeous sentiment at the bottom (I do love this flowing font) and a few falling little snowflakes all in navy blue. Some finishing touches just to edge the inked panel with a navy glitter gel pen and some a

Chatty Bar

The Chatty Bar stamp set designed by Zinski Art was perfect for a fun drink themed card I needed.  Look at their expressive faces!  Images combined with a geometric embossed background and witty sentiment. Background created by applying blue/green ink to a geometric stencil, spritzed with water, placed onto ochre coloured cardstock and embossed through my die-cutting machine to create the embossed pattern with ink transferred like a faux letterpress effect.  Added some pieces of black/gold geo-patterned papers for interest and to ground the images.  Stamped and clear heat embossed images coloured with a mix of watercolour paints, alcohol markers and coloured pencils before fussy cutting and adhering.  Sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a scrap of patterned paper cut into strips. I've used - 6x6" white card base Funky Fossil Chatty Bar stamp set Funky Fossil stencil, cardstock & patterned paper from Papercraft Society Box 52 Distress Oxide inks; Stamps by Me Cotto
