Good morning and welcome to the final day of introductions for the Uniko August release.
Today we are focusing on another Mid Century themed set - MCM Baubles.
Being old enough to remember the fifties for real, these bauble stamps that Bev has designed really evoke the thrill of getting the tree out of the loft and unwrapping the fragile glass ornaments from their protective tissue paper wrappings!
Here's one idea for using them.
The baubles were always shiny and covered with glitter that went absolutely everywhere!! I've not gone crazy with this take, just a little bit of silver EP and a sparkly marker pen!
The baubles were stamped onto MM paper with black ink then embossed with clear EP before water colouring them. A few marks from a white gel pen adds a bit of shine and the detail on the baubles was added with a sparkly gel pen, except the larger bauble's center which I drew with a WOW embossing pen and heat embossed with silver EP. I fussy cut them and added them to a panel of off white card that I'd previously stamped the branch from Winter Foliage a few times with a couple of green DIs and allowed to bleed into a damp background.
Here are some vintage baubles that inspired me.
They are just as I remember them!
Check out the rest of the BAs to see what they've been doing with this new set and come back here tomorrow for the big release day and a chance to win the whole release.
Love the addition of the tree branches, so clever. And I totally get the look and feel of the delicate glass baubles from your card! X
ReplyDeleteI know I've had a busy week but I've missed loads. What fabulous retro baubles these are. I remember Mum and Dad having that type on the tree with the silver or gold starturst in the middle. Happy days!
