Uniko January 2023 Mini Release - Introducing...Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day & MOD Background Builder Circles Stencil

Hi there

It's Day 3 of the introductions from latest Uniko release.

Today it's all about the new Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day stamp set and the MOD Background Builder Circles stencil.

Here's my first card, a simple one layer card using the stamp set...

I began by stamping with the cat's facial features stamp and then masked the eyes before stamping the solid image of the cat so the eyes remained white.  I then used the diamond shape image and stamped it multiple times in three shades, and then used the star burst stamp from the Mid Century Modern Florals set.  I inked through one shape from the Mid Century Modern Shapes stencil and then finished by stamping the sentiment, the white part heat embossed.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day, Mid Century Modern Florals
• Stencil: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Shapes
• Ink: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Altenew - Teal Cave, Autumn Blaze, Honey Drizzle; VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster White

Next up I used the new MOD Background Builder Circles stencil.  I think this is my favourite of my cards for this release and although super CAS, it was quite fiddly to create, but certainly worth the effort...

I masked off a section of the main stencil and then, using quite a few bits of masking paper, inked through the various shapes, colour by colour, masking off the shapes alongside each one.  I then finished with a simple sentiment, which is from the Mid Century Modern Frames set which was introduced yesterday.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - MOD Background Builder Circles 
• Stamp: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Frames
• Ink: Altenew - Desert Night, Sand Dunes, Dew Drops, Pink Diamond; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

And for my third card today I combined the two...

I began by stamping the cat silhouette and then randomly inked through various shapes of the stencil in muted colours.  I finished the card by stamping the diamond and then the star burst and sentiment from the Mid Century Modern Frames set.  The final details were a few square green gems for the cats collar.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day, Mid Century Modern Frames
• Stencil: Uniko - MOD Background Builder Circles
• Ink: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Altenew - Dew Drops, Sand Dunes, Moss, Misty Moor, Orange Cream
