Morning Uniko friends.
As a few of our Brand Ambassadors were late receiving their October stash and were unable to take part in the introductions, Bev has decided to have a release revisit and of course our usual blog hop and a GIVEAWAY!!
Today, I've got a couple of autumnal makes using the Autumn Serenade and Big n Bold Thankful to share.
These cards use both autumn sets to create a colourful stamped panel of leaves and a Big n Bold sentiment! The trees around here are only JUST turning, many are still quite green but the cherries and Field Maple are showing their colours at last!
I created my panel by stamping the leaves onto white card with a mixture of inks, layering up the colours to give this effect. What did we do before stamping platforms were developed?! If done correctly the colours simply blend together, LOL.
On another panel I stamped the thanks in 2 phases with WOW brass EP and stamped the Many in Altenew Mangrove Root, a dark ink but not as stark as black would be. My top panel was then die cut at a jaunty angle to reveal the leaf panel below.
My second card uses more of the stamped panel, this time with a nod to the sketch at Colours and Sketches.
The stamped leaf panel was added to a brown, slimline base card and a couple of strips of matching inked card framing it. It is in the middle of the card, I think the photo angle has foreshortened the bottom section! A Simply Said Blocks sentiment in stamped in the same Mangrove Root as before completes. I think this would make a fab masculine card, not too fussy at all. Change the colours and you would have a totally different feel!
That's all from me for now but please check out Bev's and BA blogs for more inspiration.
Now for the giveaway, simply comment along the hop for your chance to win a £20 eGift Code to spend in store.
Happy hopping!
