Uniko Geometric Blocks

By
First make with a new stamp set with blocks of geometric patterns.  Here I've used all five of the individual blocks and one of the sentiment stamps.  A second entry for Uniko's 12th birthday link up party.


Blocks stamped and heat embossed with Wow EP then selective areas coloured with alcohol markers.  One block cut out and added with 1mm foam pads as a diamond centrepiece.  I've chosen a pretty colour combination from the current Color Hues challenge of lilac and mint (used closest colours I have) and accented the heart with white gel pen dots but these blocks would be perfect for masculine or generic makes too.  Sentiment stamped with DO ink.

I've used - 135 mm sq white card base
Uniko Bauhaus Blocks stamp set
WOW! Lavender Fields EP
Promarkers - Orchid, Turquoise
Distress Oxide - peacock feathers

    I'm a huge fan of those Bauhaus Blocks! Your arrangement of the five blocks and sentiment works so well with our Lilac and Mint Color Hues Challenge! Thanks for sharing with us!

    I've never noticed the heart in the center of that block, but now you point it out it's glaringly obvious!! Love these blocks in the Color Hues colours, so pretty and thanks for joining in the Uniko party too. :)

    These geometric designs are fantastic and how you grouped them for your card design is a very creative way to include them all. What a fabulous card and way to use the Color Hues colors! Thank you so much for joining us for this challenge!

CAS Christmas Challenge - Guest Designer Card

Excited to be sharing my guest designer card for September's  CAS Christmas  card challenge where this month's theme is Christmas Tree.  I was their winning card in July, you can see it  here . I reached for my all time favourite Christmas tree stamp from an enchanted Christmas set by Hot off the Press.  A solid stamp with a lovely flourish design and snowflakes as part of the tree itself.  First I heat embossed the tree with white EP then positioned a circle stencil partly over so I could dab using cling film some pearl effects before sponging with distress inks to create a snowy sky backdrop.  Both the tree and pearl effects act as a resist and buff up to a lovely shine. I've ended up with a contemporary colour palette with an emphasis on lighter shades of purple with touches of blue and turquoise as the three DIs were still out on my desk from a previous project so I just went with them.  Finishing touches are three stamped and embossed snowflakes with coloured dot centr

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
