On non-release months the team revisit previously released products and give them some well-deserved love. For this month, we are revisiting the gorgeous stamp sets in the <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/?s=spring+botanicals&post_type=product" target="_blank">Spring Botanicals series</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have two cards for you today, both were made for Mother's Day, which was yesterday in the UK.

As well as covering up the daffodil, I also masked off the bottom right corner with low tack tape. I then ink blended the background in three shades of Distress Oxide Ink and then sprinkled some water drops and blotted to remove the colour. The sentiments were heat embossed in white on some black cardstock and these were adhered on 3D foam. To finish I added some scattered clear gems.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjowJ4s68vT9-reZfaP63JCqwZUIjLRBD0sL2ij4A57X42ukoxEa4gz1WHKs96SJjFrhX_VRk-VK6xrsVmln7OFAOVnDGM_U8Eopt0pXf2GEwIqgnYxGtasDF1oOmjypKrhoqZ4KaZbEyE_vtpFLOeGTTyzwMwzPm4li9Z-Qv3gCoFK_wnQiOI3yFaeIX-g/s3024/20240306_221127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjowJ4s68vT9-reZfaP63JCqwZUIjLRBD0sL2ij4A57X42ukoxEa4gz1WHKs96SJjFrhX_VRk-VK6xrsVmln7OFAOVnDGM_U8Eopt0pXf2GEwIqgnYxGtasDF1oOmjypKrhoqZ4KaZbEyE_vtpFLOeGTTyzwMwzPm4li9Z-Qv3gCoFK_wnQiOI3yFaeIX-g/w640-h640/20240306_221127.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Materials used:</span></div><p></p><p></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stamps: Uniko - Spring Botanicals Daffodil</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Distress Oxide - Rustic Wilderness, Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold; VersaMark</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opague Bright White</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Clear gems from stash</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>For my second card I used emboss resist with <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/spring-botanicals-snowdrop/" target="_blank">Spring Botanicals Snowdrop</a> and the sentiment is from the <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/simply-said/" target="_blank">Simply Said</a> stamp set...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjltoGLvFBy_2w4wQczZ16DnbZID8GJEQ1VcTumokVfB4JsgGrQ9jJf4E8ZdtU_ZykzIqoOIO3yxbaTS0-f4KS9Gi2LPxYpo-kbrb_ffbz9o0Ok4JZCX0HrehtEne-kyC24eJrYOT9BjZV2OFR1FFtQCPlg0pREHX5E04ERCEIhkTviTUs7c4EKqPdDYo-M/s2450/20240309_140031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2450" data-original-width="2450" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjltoGLvFBy_2w4wQczZ16DnbZID8GJEQ1VcTumokVfB4JsgGrQ9jJf4E8ZdtU_ZykzIqoOIO3yxbaTS0-f4KS9Gi2LPxYpo-kbrb_ffbz9o0Ok4JZCX0HrehtEne-kyC24eJrYOT9BjZV2OFR1FFtQCPlg0pREHX5E04ERCEIhkTviTUs7c4EKqPdDYo-M/w640-h640/20240309_140031.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On a die cut panel I stamped the snowdrops in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in white.

I finished with a sentiment from the <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/everyday-love-sentiments-clear-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Everyday Love Sentiments stamp set</a> and a smooth gem. The panel was die cut using a scalloped rectangle die but I felt that the scallops didn't work with the geometric heart so I just trimmed off the scalloped edges leaving the pierced detailing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRV-Iq0Bn_JWYWJyBAfuUSg_gGIf8vpRTfgoWAGzTc_xAwVLK_g81qOX06tp3h_1hm38X5FyawP1Z8c8tUmWLTitn15b5fhoT6StXB94Wgp0yupIsK5G7wzFuLyIgPe-pndT2Nmk4waTM8EPKbrySrPXMhszJbxdB6g5Qeqm3t0NQjt1dpKqLVbMLdKvI4/s3024/20240213_205355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRV-Iq0Bn_JWYWJyBAfuUSg_gGIf8vpRTfgoWAGzTc_xAwVLK_g81qOX06tp3h_1hm38X5FyawP1Z8c8tUmWLTitn15b5fhoT6StXB94Wgp0yupIsK5G7wzFuLyIgPe-pndT2Nmk4waTM8EPKbrySrPXMhszJbxdB6g5Qeqm3t0NQjt1dpKqLVbMLdKvI4/w640-h640/20240213_205355.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Materials used:</span></div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">S</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">tencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Geometric Heart </span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stamps: Uniko - Everyday Love Sentiments</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ink: Distress Oxide - Saltwater Taffy; Versafine Clair - Nocturne</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mica Powder: Honey Doo Crafts - White Opal</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Scalloped Rectangles</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And for my second card I used the two stencils together...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtG0kkBd-9Cnn5b-VANthPgpotARGj-Mt657bufegdUJSUi5sV_tyah2xH0_HU7C5NAD2uJsoKa-8fXJfIf0Wj3Wa1jM4h_-NfQqWtA4tKiwqnFcptveB_guS6ltbXWtYTsRnOBsm5iYAmyq7wHhYTmm-RQ2O5Bjk-H7Xbw9e7A6sWKq5qzShW-P_IdnLF/s2742/20240213_205414.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2742" data-original-width="2742" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtG0kkBd-9Cnn5b-VANthPgpotARGj-Mt657bufegdUJSUi5sV_tyah2xH0_HU7C5NAD2uJsoKa-8fXJfIf0Wj3Wa1jM4h_-NfQqWtA4tKiwqnFcptveB_guS6ltbXWtYTsRnOBsm5iYAmyq7wHhYTmm-RQ2O5Bjk-H7Xbw9e7A6sWKq5qzShW-P_IdnLF/w640-h640/20240213_205414.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I inked up the background using the ink and flip method and two shades of Distress Oxide ink.

To make it easier to stamp within the stencil I began by taping the stencil to the panel and then using an embossing tool from the back of the panel to trace around the shape, thereby pushing the cardstock forward so it was raised on the front and more in line with the edges of the stencil. I grabbed one of my blending brushes and used the residual green ink from one of my previous projects to create the pale green background, and then proceeded to stamp the small leaf images from the new <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/autumn-serenade-clear-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Autumn Serenade Clear Stamp Set</a>.

Then I stumbled across this green vellum in a vellum pad I forgot I had bought and it had the perfect Art Deco style pattern so that was my starting point. I stamped the block and then heat embossed it in copper. I then coloured the trees and the stars on the reverse of the vellum using Copics. I then created the copper frame by die cutting with two stitched rectangle dies and then mounted the frame and vellum on fun foam.

I've seen stencils that turn to create designs but never one specifically designed to ink up one side, and then flip it over to ink the other. Bravo, Bev, I can't wait to see more of these in future releases (no pressure!)</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div>Here is what can be created with this stencil...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuieKZH2WsjGGNuMXL6N0JuTp1fUhNiiV18PLUsLraxhnx39V9aomoZvmR7qhXHtGVryInn4bDUtZWXrUQJ6jbNe95LNssH5YU6mQixeNs0dLOx7vOS6glXuGrNipl3E6eRGBktmYtpX3sDlWhCnL-3_xR82qKW9CsG0DlarJWU9vbl72TsrKC2asn866f/s2722/20230729_175554.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2722" data-original-width="2722" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuieKZH2WsjGGNuMXL6N0JuTp1fUhNiiV18PLUsLraxhnx39V9aomoZvmR7qhXHtGVryInn4bDUtZWXrUQJ6jbNe95LNssH5YU6mQixeNs0dLOx7vOS6glXuGrNipl3E6eRGBktmYtpX3sDlWhCnL-3_xR82qKW9CsG0DlarJWU9vbl72TsrKC2asn866f/w640-h640/20230729_175554.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't often make square cards but I opted for one here to showcase the whole stencil. I inked up one side of the stencil, the aqua you can see here, and then cleaned it off and flipped it, to then ink up the lilac shade. You could try all sorts of colour combos and mediums here to create great effects where the design overlaps. Here I chose to add the snowflakes using the <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/stencil-let-it-snow/" target="_blank">Let It Snow</a> stencil and finished with an embossed sentiment from the <a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/most-wonderful-clear-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Most Wonderful </a>stamp set mounted on a circle die cut.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRESuT_UYLEJdaj_D9qvfmd8JnslPi4zmF_-lcSdNDuA4r72Fjv5W-jRxy2SCfCBwsH9M0raRiyE_IKfQGcri0-MM0opU7YnF5LQjsGSuXcNn_qsJHzX0-QJzklb7enHLWTBCgc-BJQFWI2ZiqPU54gK8IWj3cnmbpBN0dvkRYi-r-XK5Wwxh8ZzA8yLgd/s3024/20230729_175601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRESuT_UYLEJdaj_D9qvfmd8JnslPi4zmF_-lcSdNDuA4r72Fjv5W-jRxy2SCfCBwsH9M0raRiyE_IKfQGcri0-MM0opU7YnF5LQjsGSuXcNn_qsJHzX0-QJzklb7enHLWTBCgc-BJQFWI2ZiqPU54gK8IWj3cnmbpBN0dvkRYi-r-XK5Wwxh8ZzA8yLgd/w640-h640/20230729_175601.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Materials used:</span></div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stencils: Uniko - Ink & Flip Christmas Star, Let It Snow</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stamps: Uniko - Most Wonderful</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ink: Distress Oxide - Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac; VersaMark</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Dies: Hero Arts - Circle Infinity Dies</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And for my second card I combined the stencil with a new stamp set which we will be introducing in a few days...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRN0h9j-q5pjolDsdA4-C9wT_JuC16-eg74O9BfyL4YBbdezyNWmXtvyPwj79dV6GsjbfpoiakVS2tE_DqsPku1TNzvboLlANGPD8tFdR0MGZQYm9RChs3psYOLY_ZHoI6IEYjbDzMFffaSlGoVQzy0-iUoRxNTgcCnS3IF0TkLDIrJgbarVrY0dDWCFG/s2240/20230729_175621.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2240" data-original-width="2240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRN0h9j-q5pjolDsdA4-C9wT_JuC16-eg74O9BfyL4YBbdezyNWmXtvyPwj79dV6GsjbfpoiakVS2tE_DqsPku1TNzvboLlANGPD8tFdR0MGZQYm9RChs3psYOLY_ZHoI6IEYjbDzMFffaSlGoVQzy0-iUoRxNTgcCnS3IF0TkLDIrJgbarVrY0dDWCFG/w640-h640/20230729_175621.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here I ink blended with a heavier hand so the overlaps aren't so obvious. Distress Oxides are great for this as they are opaque. I heat embossed the bauble and sentiment from the new stamp set and coloured the bauble using Copics. So even though this is a square stencil, it can still be used for smaller cards (this is a UK A6 size)</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Materials used:</span></div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Christmas Star</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Baubles</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ink: Distress Oxide - Prize Ribbon, Rustic Wilderness; VeraMark</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Platinum</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Coloured with Copics</span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>For more projects by the talented Bev and my fellow Brand Ambassadors, please do pop over to the main Uniko blog, <a href="http://unikostudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, to see this new stencil in action</div><div><br /></div><div>The new products will be available to purchase from the Uniko website from 6 August at 9.00am BST.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you'll pop back again over between now and Sunday to see the rest of the new products.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEguvgpVpuC_CwIQU19a-GK-OsofyN9D7WLN444kromLATJ8Po9l_rdfeg7Vv6A8Uqrh8pDlfSu_WG6-l6FugDzU_J-h7A33aRpyE-20OtNN9tJRYiZ88TFR0ZO4nupTWssqyPNuMPrHcBVhmluHAxkLvnbzdkDNNawZqolv0C2ZKZflMc1v453-3YbtYg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="102" data-original-width="320" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEguvgpVpuC_CwIQU19a-GK-OsofyN9D7WLN444kromLATJ8Po9l_rdfeg7Vv6A8Uqrh8pDlfSu_WG6-l6FugDzU_J-h7A33aRpyE-20OtNN9tJRYiZ88TFR0ZO4nupTWssqyPNuMPrHcBVhmluHAxkLvnbzdkDNNawZqolv0C2ZKZflMc1v453-3YbtYg" width="320" /></a><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div>Neets Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09862891328665810288noreply@blogger.com1
