Uniko Sponsors CASology!

* CLICK HERE for my first post today & CAS Colours & Sketches reminder *

Hey!

I am back again today to let you know that Uniko is proud to be sponsoring the new challenge over at CASology this week HERE - YAY!

This week at CASology the challenge cue word is...

And this is how I was inspired by the cue word...

I decided to use a 'pretty' Christmas flower on my card, the 4 step stamping poinsettia along with the holly & ribbon motif from the newly released Jingle Bells clear stamp set. I added some 'pretty' gold glitter to my ribbon tails for the added Christmas sparkle! 

I used the SU! Grunge Grid again for my BG, stamping it in VersaMagic Pixie Dust first onto my white CS layer, I then stamped the holly ribbon image in Tea Leaves VersaMagic, but then went over the ribbon lines with a black fine liner as I wanted them to show through the glitter and define them. 

The poinsettia is stamped with all 4 layers & fussy cut out, I will be sharing a little tutorial later in the week as to how I stamp the poinsettia & the order I stamp the layers. The sentiment is from Simply Said Christmas, the Stamp Of The Week this week HERE. I have masked the sentiment before stamping it as a cluster rather than the straight line stamp it comes as.

Again I used the CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below for my card, it is such a fun sketch ;)

Anyway, be sure to check out the CASology Challenge HERE & join in, there is a £15 eGift Certificate to spend in store over HERE at Uniko.

Ok, that is all from me today on this blog, I will be back tomorrow with more to share & over on the website blog later with another card using the Stamp Of The Week, Simply Said Christmas. Until next time, thank you for stopping by today.

In Bloom

Happy Sunday!

It was a super happy week here at Uniko Studio not only due to the FABulous release of NEW products, but also because the Peony bloomed...

This is my pride & joy in my garden and each Spring as it starts to flourish I wonder how many buds are going to form and blossom into gorgeous blooms! This year I have 4 blooms and this was the first to open.

I'm looking forward to getting back to some drawing this week, so watch this space for a new Pure Florals stamp set coming your way! 

I do have a card to share with you all today too...

Yep, it's another Beautiful Blooms I card! I just can't stop using it! I don't think the stamps have made it back into the case yet - haha! 

I used the current Seize the Birthday sketch seen HERE and below for the layout of my card and I used  The Play Date Cafe challenge colours again seen HERE and below. 

There's not much to say about my card today as it's so CAS & all the supplies are listed below. I've a little prep work to do today in the studio as I have another intern starting tomorrow for work experience & the desk Abbie (yes another Abbie) will be working at needs clearing! 

I'll be back tomorrow with more to share, until then THANK YOU for stopping by & have a wonderful day.
