Uniko Celebrating 12 Years - Introducing...Background Blocks MOD Builder

Good morning and happy Saturday!

How have you been enjoying the Uniko new release introductions over the last few days?  Well, it's Day 4 and the last of the introductions today.  And we have an addition to the Background Blocks series for you...Background Blocks MOD Builder.

If you're a fan of Uniko this one may look familiar to you.  That's because the same design was previously released as a stencil.

Ok, I have two examples for you using this one and first up I did some emboss resist with water colouring...

I stamped and heat embossed the image in clear on some watercolour cardstock.  I then randomly watercoloured, wet on wet, over and around the image before die cutting the panel with a stitched rectangle die.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, from the new Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments set that was introduced yesterday, on a strip of vellum and wrapped this around the panel, adhering on the reverse, before mounting the panel on the card base using 3D foam.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks MOD Builder, Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Crushed Olive
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Clear Gloss, Opaque Bright White

And my second card combines the new set with sentiments from the Mid Century Modern Frames set...

I stamped the main image in the centre but off the edge of the card in grey ink and then used the repeating design to add to the image at the top and bottom.  I then used one of the co-ordinating solid images to add colour to selected parts.  I stamped and heat embossed the greetings from the Mid Century Modern Frames set on grey cardstock and die cut these before adhering them flat, nestled within the design.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks MOD Builder; Mid Century Modern Frames
• Ink: VersaMark; Altenew - Silver Stone, Soft Lilac, Minty Mint
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stax

The team are sharing more projects over on the main Uniko blog, here so be sure to check that out and follow the links.

The entire release will be available to purchase from 9am GMT tomorrow, Sunday 18 January 2024. 

I'll be back tomorrow morning to reveal the entire release and share another card.
