Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Happy Valentine's Day

 Bonjour !

Izzy here with two cards for this Valentine's Day.

For my first card I combined the following products ...

 

I got inspired by the colours of the Colour Throwdown challenge and by the Time Out challenge photo inspiration.

First I stamped the background stripes block in black ink on a white card stock. I cut it and I foam mounted it on a white double card.

 Then I decided to make a gradient from pink to red when stamping the hearts. I fussy cut them and I glued them on the striped background. 

I finished by stamping the sentiment the same way, I fussy cut it and I glued it. 

For my second card I used :

 

For this card I got inspired by the sketch of A Place to Start challenge. I started with the background, using the stencil over a white card stock and blending distress inks. I flat adhered it to the fuchsia card base.

For the heart, I used a leftover of an alcohol ink panel that was still on my desk from a previous card. I stamped the heart with Versamark and I heat embossed it with Silver Pearl powder. I love how it lets see through the alcohol ink mouvement.

I die cut a label that I glued onto the stencilled background. Then I fussy cut the heart and I foam mounted it.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment in black and I glued some tiny hearts die cuts coming from the same Alcohol ink panel.

And since it's Uniko's birthday too, I couldn't finish this post without a birthday card ! For that I had fun using on the same card the products of the February releases of the last three years.

 

 

I kept the same shades of colour for this card. I placed the stencil on a double white card and I coloured with Distress inks. 

Then I stamped the flowers silhouette in black and I heat embossed with glitter powder. I also stamped the sentiment the same way and I cut it with the matching die. I used the sentiment die background on Vellum paper.

On this picture it is easier to see the shimmery of the black silhouette and sentiment.

To finish I glued the sentiment on the card and I added three sequins. 

That's all from me today. I wish you all a lovely day ! 

Thank you for stopping by.

CAS Colours & Sketches #300 - Sketch & Happy Birthday CC&S!

Hey!

Happy 6th Birthday CAS Colours & Sketches!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week Patricia has created a sketch for the Birthday week seen HERE and below...

And here is how I used the sketch...

I thought most people would go with the obvious of balloons for a birthday card, so I thought I'd be a little different and opted for celebratory stars. I used Background Builders: Seeing Stars clear stamp set paired with a *new* sentiment from one of the upcoming December Release clear stamp sets! 

The solid stars on my white layer are stamped in Altenew inks, Coral Berry, Warm Sunshine & Aqualicious. I then stamped the star with the linear detail in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and coloured some of the sections using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends and added glitter to the non coloured section. These are then fussy cut and adhered to the card using 1mm thick foam adhesive.

It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without a gift! 

Uniko is super proud to be the sponsor of this CAS Colours & Sketches Birthday Sketch Challenge!
