Uniko January 2025 Release - Introducing...Layering Picked Posies Stencil

Hi there

Wow, it's New Year's Eve, where on earth did 2024 go?

Uniko are finishing the year with the first of the new introductions from the next release.  And I think you'll like this one.

If you're familiar with the Picked Posies collection that Bev designed exclusively for Craft Stash last year, then you'll recognise this floral.  And this time it's in the form of a new layering set of four stencils.

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

Before I began building the stencilled images I added a strip of low tack tape across the upper section of the card.  This is a card layout I've used many times in the past and it's still one of my favourites.  I simply ink blended through the different layers before removing the tape and then stamping the sentiment which is from the Pure Florals Chrysanthemum stamp set.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Layering Picked Posies
• Stamps: Uniko - Pure Florals Chrysanthemum
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Hickory Smoke

And now my second card...

I used masking on this card too but this time I sectioned off a diagonal central section.  Before I began stencilling I added a light blend of light blue ink.  I then ink blended through the various stencils but didn't include the smaller flowers this time.  I finished by adding a sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks stamp set.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Layering Picked Posies
• Stamp: Uniko - Simply Said Blocks
• Ink: Distress Ink - Speckled Egg, Rustic Wilderness, Pine Needles, Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

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

All the new products will be available from next Sunday 5 January 2025.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for a happy, healthy and safe 2025.  See you on the other side!
