Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Ink & Flip Chevron Duo

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Vinita here today!

A mesmerising pattern of interlocked blue geometric shapes creates a vibrant optical illusion. The bold, clean lines and stark contrast conjure a dynamic mid-century modern aesthetic. It pulses with rhythmic energy, transforming a flat surface into a visually captivating, three-dimensional experience.

I used Uncharted Mariner and Mermaid Lagoon DI to create a chevron pattern using the Ink & Flip Chevron Duo stencil. I love the 3d dimensional look I achieved! I added a Happy Birthday sentiment, perfect for Masculine ones!

Happy weekend!

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Christmas in July

 Hello to all!

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Uniko is ready for some Christmas inspiration cards in July in advance! And at the end of the month, some new festive release to celebrate the Christmas in July, Be ready!!!

Here is my Christmas inspiration card.

I created a Christmas card in abstract geometric style which has modern and vintage feel on it.

If you see deeply there is a big Christmas tree in this triangle pattern! So much fun with the Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil and techniques.

On a white panel, I started stenciling some of the triangles randomly using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and vintage photo Archival ink. Then I flipped the stencil and inked some triangles in cottage ivy Memento ink. I created a big triangle as Christmas tree. Then I added Gold texture paste for my abstract triangle pattern. I added some splatters too for more texture and interest. The sentiment is from the Mid Century Modern Christmas stamp set.

I finished it off with some foiled sequin stars.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Brand Ambassador Inspirations : Summer cards

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today's card inspirations are full of summer and sunshine! I made two cards showcasing Monstera Leaves in summery colors and sunny mood. I am showcasing super trendy technique of contemporary art - abstract collages! I am on the Uniko blog today.

First card

The soft pastel hues of the summer sun along with circle is the inspiration of this card. I love how this circle created a landing spot for smaller stamped leaves.

To create this look, I stamped the circle from the Background Builders: Round in circle stamp set using Memento rose bud ink and to achieve the  soft color impact, I re-stamped the image using Frost white pigment ink on it. Then I stamped the Paradise leaves in black and soft lemon color. In between the top two leaves I created a summer sun in soft yellow using the little part of the circle image directly.

The sentiment is from the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set. The completed panel attached to light cream color using double tape.

For this card, I created a simple stroked panel by dragging my Memento dye ink directly in smoky blue from the top to bottom directly 3- 4 times. I stamped the paradise and monstera leaves straight on the card using both outlined and solid images in sweet plum dye ink and Versafine Onyx black ink.

The sentiment is from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set.

Have a sun-filled day!

Happy crafting!

Delicate butterflies in Swiss dots!

 Hello to all!

Happy Friday!

Today, I am on the Uniko Blog with an inspiration card using the latest release product!

I wanted to create a card with a vintage, old-style look using a Swiss dots stamp.

To start the card, I stamped the tiny Swiss dots on a grey CS panel using chipped sapphire DI.  I layered my butterflies from the English Country Garden Butterflies die set and stamped them in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink using the Swiss Dots stamp. The sentiment is from the same set.

I layered my panel on a pink panel, and before adhering it to my blue card base, I tied my panel with a pink ribbon. Then finished off the card with a few rhinestones.

I'm thrilled with the way it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed the card I shared with you today. I love what I do, working on designs, new ideas and much more!

Happy crafting!

Christmas in July Day 2: Introducing Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble

Hello everyone!

 Happy Sunday!

I hope you are enjoying your day!

I am back with the next Uniko stamp Introduction, Christmas in July New Release called Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble.

I love the Christmas font and its modern style, which can be used in many ways. Awesome pattern!

I stamped the Merry Christmas Scramble on a double-stitched die-cut white panel and heat-embossed it using White Gold Pearl EP. Then I colored the Christmas word using my ZIG watercolor brush markers. I matted a gold pearl PP on a white card base and added my stamped panel to it. 

Here is a closer look: 

It's hard to capture the impression in a gold pearl, but in real life, it looks so pretty!

I hope you enjoyed it.

Pure Florals Gerbera with a Butterfly in Fall colors!

Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Who is ready for fall!!! I love the fall colors as the leaves begin to change and the weather turns cooler!

Here is my interpretation of the fall colors........Uniko BA inspiration post!

Here I paired up the Pure Florals Gerbera stencil with English Country Garden Butterflies stamp set.

I started with using Distress inks and white pigment ink using the Gerbera floral stencil in fall colors. After blending the inks I fussy cut the floral image.

On a white piece of CS, I used MOD background Builder stencil and stamped the sentiment from the Yes, You Are stamp set. I love the soft look background with stripes!

Then stamped the largest butterfly, watercolored it with my ZIG watercolor brushes, die-cut it.

In the end, I assembled all the elements with some die-cut leaves. 

Hope you are inspired by these fall colors!

Happy crafting!

Uniko Brand Inspiration: Pure Floral gerbera

 Hello to all!

Happy Wednesday!

Once again I used the Pure Florals Gerbera Stencil to showcase its beauty!

I started with white pigment ink on a wine-red CS. For a detailed and deep look at the centre, I overlapped the centre with aged mahogany DI.

I stencilled the flower 2 times with the same method.

Now on a white CS base at the top, I stencilled some wonky stripes look using Wonky stripe stencil with the same colors.

Now added a sentiment white strip with my inked flowers and some cute stamped flutters-by. I accented it with some white pearls and some Posco white paint dots in the centre of the flowers.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

Poinsettia art print with stripes!

Hello to all!

Happy Sunday! Hope you all are enjoying your day!

I love experiments and created this art print idea using the same stamp set with stripes! This is my other inspiration post as Uniko Brand Ambassador!

I stamped the horizontal stripes on a piece of white CS to create the background using cracked pistachio DI.

Stamped some solid big poinsettia flowers randomly using abandoned coral DI

And then small poinsettia filler flowers on the same flower designs using crackling campfire DI.

Now stamped the outlined flower image overlapping with stamped images and heat embossed using opaque bright white EP. Added the dots in the flower centre using fired brick DI. Before adhering this focal panel to my card base added a red CS layer with an embossed sentiment.

Hope you like the artistic look of the repeated pattern and are inspired to create yours!

Happy crafting!
