Uniko April 2025 Release - Introducing...Stencil Layering Spring Blossom

Happy Friday!

It's the last of the introductions for the Uniko April 2025 release today and it's all about a new layering stencil set...Layering Spring Blossom.  This set has three stencils.

There are so many possibilities with this versatile stencil set...use the images individually or all together to create some really pretty backgrounds.

I got my Color Cubes out again for these and I love both these colour palettes.  I'll certainly be using these inspiration cards a lot more going forward, they really encourage you to combine colours you would never think to put together.  I've chosen colours as close to the suggestions as I can from what I have in my stash, I'd love to know what you think.

Here's my first card using the stencils and I've combined with a greeting from the Bauhaus Blocks stamp set...

I used all the stencils to build the background pattern and then cut down the panel with a stitched curved border die and trimmed it to fit my card base before adhering flat.  I then simply stamped the greeting in black along the curved edge and called it finished.  Lovely and clean and simple. 

And this was the Color Cube inspiration card I used...

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Spring Blossom
• Stamp: Uniko - Bauhaus Blocks
• Ink: Memento - Cottage Ivy, Tuxedo Black; Altenew - Ultraviolet, Rubellite, Burnt Red; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Basic Edges

And a one layer, clean and simple card...

I began by masking off the edges of my card base.  I very lightly inked up my background, fading it out as I moved down to the base.  I then did the same with each element of the stencils, inking stronger at the top and fading the colours out at the centre.  I then finished with a greeting from the new Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set, also new with this release.

And here is the colour palette I chose from my Color Cubes...

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Layering Spring Blossom
• Stamp: Uniko - Originally Organic Flower Garden
• Ink: Altenew - Emerald, Volcano Lake, Deep Iris, Pumpkin Pie, Memento - Desert Sand
