Uniko's June release - release day!

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. Today is the day that you can purchase the new goodies from Uniko's June release. I've had so much fun this week for my first release as brand ambassador and I do have one more card for you using the new release products.  Before I show you my card I thought I would re-cap the new products that are now available.

And that wraps up the June Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.

For my final card I used both the Ink & Flip: Triangulate stencil and the Layering Modern Blooms 4 piece stencil to create my fun card.  I went with a classic yellow & black colour combo and I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I took an extra photo to try and capture the dimension:

I began by stencilling the Ink & Flip: Triangulate stencil using black ink onto white card.  On a separate piece of white card I stencilled the Layering Modern Blooms flowers and leaves using yellow and grey ink.  I'm not as proficient at fussy cutting at Bev but I fussy the flowers and leaves and also decided to fussy cut the triangles so that they were all separate. I took a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and after adding foam squares behind the triangles adhered them so that they created a border on my panel.  I felt at this point that the inner portion was a little plain so took the Quilted stencil and some yellow ink and partially stencilled the design.  I added foam squares behind the flowers and added them to the bottom of the panel; the leaves were added with liquid glue and I stamped a sentiment at the top with black ink.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and adhered it to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I used some left over flowers, leaves and triangles and created a border at the bottom of my card using liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and adhered the panel to my card base with double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Allsorts challenge - bees, blooms or birds

Color Hues challenge - yellow and black

Paper Rocks Scissors challenge - use paper and/or scissors (I fussy cut everything)

The Pick 3 challenge - yellow, frame, sentiment

TGIF challenge - popping it up (everything except the leaves are popped up with foam squares)

Uniko June Release: Day 3 introduction

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. It's day three of introductions for Uniko's June release. Our next introduction is a fantastic layering stencil called 'Layering Modern Blooms'.  I know we're not supposed to have favourites but I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it; it's such a pretty stencil and can be used in so many different ways.  

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4".  I decided not to use the layering stencil as a complete background and created a 'wreath' instead.  I used some masking paper and masked off a large flower and a small flower.  I started with the larger flower and two shades of purple ink and stencilled them positioned like a clock face (12, 3, 6 and 9), I then did the smaller flowers using purple and pink inks in between the larger flowers.  I took the leaf layer and filled in any gaps between the flowers.  There is also a layer that does lots of tiny dots between the flowers if you're making a background, so I decided to use this layer and add a bit more detail to the flower centres using a shade darker ink than what I had used on the first layer.  I trimmed the panel down slightly to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and stamped my sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I added some scrap white card behind my panel and adhered it to the card base with double sided tape.  For a finishing touch I added some tiny black pearls to draw in a bit more black.  For the inside I cut a white panel 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and stencilled some flowers and leaves in the bottom right corner.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre and then adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.
