Uniko - April 2025 Release - Introducing...Butterfly Serenade

Hi there

It's back to work for me today after a relaxing few days at home for Easter.  I hope you've had a lovely break and you may be one of the lucky ones who also have the rest of the week off.

It's day one of the new Uniko introductions and first up is Butterfly Serenade...another lovely set to join the existing Serenade series.  The set includes the main cascading image, a couple of sentiments, as well as more individual butterflies and flowers.

Here's my first card using the set...

I used the main image on this card, stamped onto some blue cardstock with a pale ink.  I then coloured the butterflies with Copics and then restamped (left the stamp in my MISTI for placement accuracy) and heat embossed in white.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white, adhered the panel to my card base and finished by adding some small silver gems.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Butterfly Serenade
• Ink: VersaMark
• Coloured with Copics
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster White
• Cardstock and gems from my stash

And now my second card, where I combined this stamp set with another, Just Because...

On a die cut panel I stamped the foliage from the Just Because set in the lower left corner.  I then stamped the large butterfly in black and coloured with Copics, and then stamped the solid butterfly images in co-ordinating shades.  I stamped the sentiment and the flowers, both from the new set, before adhering the panel to the card base using 3D foam.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Butterfly Serenade, Just Because
• Ink: Altenew - Frayed Leaf, Aquaicious, Teal Lake, Deep Iris; Memento - Tuxedo Black; Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Copics
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles

For lots more inspiration from the rest of the team using this stamp set, take a look at the Uniko blog, here.  I'll be back tomorrow to introduce another of the new products.

All the new products will be available from next Sunday 27 April 2025.

I hope you'll pop back throughout the coming week.
