Uniko Beautiful Blooms Revisited Blog Hop!

Tuesday, August 11, 2015

It's a great day to stop by because it's the Uniko August 2015 Design Team Blog Hop (and giveaway)!!

First I want to inform you of another exciting thing....keep your eyes peeled this week for a NEW set of dies lining the shelf at Uniko HQ!

So, this month we are taking a look back at a previously released product, dusting it off and giving it some love! This month we are revisiting TWO products, the previously released Beautiful Blooms I and II...






So let's talk about my card! One of my favorite Uniko stamp sets to date is Beautiful Blooms II! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! So here, I kept my card mostly black and white, but wanted to draw attention to a couple of the blooms by stamping inside the black outlines with red and yellow ink. I think it sure makes them pop! I did a lot of masking with the others flowers surrounding the colored ones, and also masked the two leaves.

The sentiment is from Simply Said Birthday. Under that, I adhered a diagonal strip of striped vellum to the bottom of the panel. I think it gives it more interest and draws your eyes down the card :) I finished it off with some sequins, and the panel is mounted to the card base using foam tape.



GIVEAWAY ALERT!! Simply comment on each blog along the hop for your chance to win the featured sets or an eGift Certificate code to the same value if you already own them.
