Uniko Pure Florals-Cosmos Revisit and Blog Hop!

Friday, March 11, 2016

Good morning! I'm so glad you stopped by because it's the Uniko March 2016 Design Team Blog Hop (and giveaway)!!

So, this month we are taking a look back at a previously released product, dusting it off and giving it some love! Here is an image of the whole stamp set, Pure Florals: Cosmos.



I used the single flower stamp and did LOTS of masking! This was actually quite a long process since each one is heat embossed with gold embossing powder (on watercolor paper). I think it was worth it though! I'm really happy with how this one turned out!



After embossing, I used 5 different Distress Ink colors and watercolored each flower with the inks and some water. This is one of my favorite coloring techniques lately...I just LOVE the watercolor look! The sentiment is also gold embossed. The panel was cut slightly smaller than the base.
Hope I've inspired you with this today!


GIVEAWAY ALERT!! Simply comment along the hop to be in the chance of winning this featured set along with an eGift certificate for £10 to spend in store.
