Hello everyone!
Happy Sunday!
Welcome to the release day with a blog hop and giveaway!
Here is the full view of all the stamps now available at Uniko!
My first card focuses on the Background Blocks: Snowflake Flurry stamp set. I love snowflakes, and this stamp set image is so great.
I wanted wood textures for the background, so I chose a rusty hinge, vintage photo, walnut stain and black soot DI and added these inks directly to the stamp.
I love the wooden texture I achieved. I added some sequins to enhance the beauty of this card panel. The sentiment is from the most wonderful stamp set.
Second Card
Are you a wreath lover? Wreaths are a warm and welcoming addition to the door anytime. This card features a Big & Bold Joy stamp set.
I started stamping with Tiding of Comfort & sentiment in bundle sage DI first and bold Joy in barn door DI in the centre of the card panel. Then I drew a circle slightly with a pencil around the sentiment. Stamped the leaf twig on the circle in bundled sage DI and then again in forest moss DI to create my wreath from the Season of Beauty stamp set. Added the dots using barn door DI. Then I added some hearts and the dove using the same ink. voila done!
Last card
My last card features the Framed Fairy Lights stamp set. I wanted to create a winter scene with a festive Northern Nights backdrop showcasing fairy light strings. It is simple to do, and yes, it gives your card a wow factor. I used distressed ink-blended mediums to create my background.
First I took a white panel and stamped one of the images from the Background Builder: Winter Wonderland stamp set and I heat embossed in Wow Ebony black EP. Now on to the Northern lights I started by adding streaks of twisted citron, mermaid lagoon and wilted violet DI using foam brush.
Next, to complete the background, I applied chipped sapphire DI between the colors and black soot around the edges. Then, I added some parts of the light stamp set to the northern light background and heat embossed it with Wow Opaque Bright White EP.
Now, by adding a tiny drop of water at each light inside, the water is soaked because of DI ( as shown in the above pic), and voila, I got the same ink effect in pastel colors.
I love the result. I fussy-cut the panel from the bottom part. The panel is added to the white card base with dimensions. The sentiment is from the same set.
I hope you all will try these techniques, and I am waiting to see yours!
I hope you have got your wish list started from this November Release!
