Let's see what I came up with.......

My first card




 I used these Distress inks for rainbow colored impacts: tumbled grass, weathered wood, shaded lilac, villainous potion, mustard seeds, picked raspberry, lumberjack plaid, victorian velvet, and saltwater taffy for my Layering Picked Posies florals. I started with the biggest floral first, then the other ones and then the tiniest ones. The sentiments from the Flower Power #11 stamp set.


Second card

Who doesn't love sparkle and shine!




 I created a shaker card. I die-cut the front and base panels using a pillow die. Then on a white die-cut pillow base panel, I placed the gem stencil as a guide to trace the gem with pencil marks. I stamped many small diamonds in rainbow colors using DI. Then I added tiny transparent tape around the big diamond shape and applied white crystal glitter powder. Voila, I love the result.




 I stamped the sentiment with Staz on Black ink on the acetate sheet, sprinkled Wow Midnight Dreams EP and heat embossed it. I filled some shaker elements with white crystals. Then, I covered it with the Pillow frame and adhered it to my card panel.


Third card





I created a stencilled background using Mid-century Modern Circles and Stars stencil. I mixed the dark pink lunar paste into the white texture paste to lighten it in light pink shades and applied it through the stencil.




Then, I stamped the outlined flowers with leaves in black from the Flower Power #11 stamp set. I stamped one flower in its original form and the other one I joined the last petals on both sides of the flower to show it bigger. I watercolored them using Pink DI and fussy cut both. The sentiments are from the same set. I added some sequins to bling my card.


Fourth card




For this card, I created my own patterned paper. I placed a quilted stencil on a textured white CS panel and applied crushed olive DO. After that, I stamped a floral background into the white space left using rustic wilderness DO and pine needle DI. I tried to create a monochrome look in green. I heat embossed the sentiment from the stamp set using opaque bright white EP. I placed my panel on the black CS. Then, I added some twine across the top and black rhinestones to the stencilled flowers.


Final card


I first time tried a scrambled Blocks technique card and loved the results!




It's the perfect way to spread love, and happiness and make someone's day extra special. Enjoy its simplicity and beauty!
I stamped the Background Blocks Scattered Hearts on the pink and red CS and heat embossed them using Wow white puff twinkle embossing glitter. It's hard to take a picture of this card but it has a lot of shine in real life.

Then, I cut them into rectangular blocks and lined them up on my basic white CS. I die-cut a heart and added Abandoned coral ink all around the edges of the heart. I die cut a happy word from a holographic sheet. I attached it to the heart and put my heart in the centre of the blocks. I stamped and added the Valentine's Day sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks Occasions sentiment set using lumberjack Plaid and picked raspberry DI. I embellished it with a few enamel hearts.

I hope you all enjoyed the new release. Hurry up and complete your stash with this new collection before it is out of stock. Check out the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassador's projects today.
