THEME: ANYTHING GOES!
If you want, you can also use this optional sketch and if you do you could win a gift voucher to use in the Uniko store here.
- You can use ANY stamps in the challenges
- You can enter as many times as you want and enter as many other challenges as you want combined with ours!
I chose to not use the sketch because I like having complete freedom to create whatever I want! Here's what I got:
One of my very favorite Uniko stamp sets is Beautiful Blooms I. It's been awhile since I used it, so I just had to for this challenge!
Lucky for me (and you!), is that there's a coordinating die for this set!! So I used it for the flowers and the leaves. I took a different route with the leaves and cut them out using black card stock. I felt like it just needed something, so I completely covered both leaves with Black Stickles!! I think it turned out pretty fun, and I'm glad I got a decent picture of it.
The flower is also enhanced with some Ice Stickles all around the edge (not as easy to see in the pic). It's also popped up with some foam tape for dimension. The top right corners are punched with a corner rounder.
Hope you enjoy my card! Thanks for stopping by!
You have until Friday, April 3rd, 2:00am CST, to link your card up on the Uniko Blog.

the black leaves are a fab idea and love they are full of glitter and you are right-great photo. Also the border adds to the drama of this card x
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love the colours, the sparkle of the black leaves really draws your eye to the stunning flower. I really like the use of the border stamps underneath. Love it! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Nicki! Love the sparkly black leaves and border stamp - they set the elegant bloom off perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of stamps, colour & perfect layout. You say you didn't use the sketch, but apart from the sentiment you've unintentionally used it by flipping it upside down;) Well I think so! FAB creation. Hugs Bev x
