Introducing ..........

Welcome to the first day of the May 2018 Uniko Release product introductions. This is the fun part, you now get to see all the sneak peeks in action. 

Today we are introducing 2 products. Simply Said Blocks II a mini clear stamp set with additional  popular sentiments in the same style as Simply Said Blocks and we are 'officially' introducing Nature's Treasures II Stencil. This stencil was part of the Uniko Stamping Retreat goody bag in Dec 2017 and is based on the Nature's Treasure II stamp set. It proved popular with those who attended as well as with some of the DT, so it was decided to make it available to everyone.

Here's my card using both the stencil and both the stamp sets.


        

To start I took a panel of white card and placed the stencil over it, securing it in place with some masking tape, then sponged some Versamark ink through the stencil using a small cube sized Versamark pad. Careful not to smudge the ink, I removed the stencil then embossed the leaves with white EP, heat embossed then repeated the process.
When cool and dry, I inked lightly with Twisted Citron DI and repeated the process, this time using clear EP and a couple of the Nature's Treasures II small stamps. Again I waited until the panel was dry, a light application of baby powder dries off the ink sufficiently, before inking with a heavy application of the Twisted Citron this time. Finally I inked some Mowed Lawn DI through the stencil. The finished panel was then sandwiched between a couple layers of copy paper and ironed on a high no steam setting to remove the embossing. (The process is the same as this technique using stamps here.)
To create the card I simply die cut a panel of white card and mounted it over the inked panel and placed it on a white base card. The sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks II was stamped in black and embossed with a semi dull clear EP.
Ok, enough of that let's get down to the inspiration from the rest of the team.
