Morning all. It's the penultimate day of the new release introductions from Uniko.
Today we are introducing another in the Big n Bold series, Big n Bold Joy.
Here's my first idea using this set.
Using the sketch from The Paper Players, I started by embossing a panel of white card with my Winter Foliage stencil. This was then cut in 2 and added to my base card, as per the sketch. On a circle of matching white card, I stamped the JOY with Versamark and heat embossed with gold EP before stamping the small leaflet repeatedly to create a wreath. A few red berries were then added with a stamp from BB Vines Winter Additions.
On a strip of black card, I stamped the To the World with Versamark and heat embossed with gold EP, adding it to the joy wreath. Finally using the Peace on Earth set, I stamped a further sentiment.
My next card mixes Christmas Pop, In the Forest stencil, Big n Bold Joy and Christmas Sentiments.
On a panel of white card, I started by adding some lime green trees in a grid using the small tree from Christmas Pop, I then added more, firstly with a dark green, then a mid tone green. I wasn't completely satisfied so used a small section of the stencil to fill in the gaps. I centered the similar shaped stencil tree over the palest tree in each group, before softly inking through with Twisted Citron DI, moving the masked stencil until I was satisfied with the coverage.
The JOY was stamped in red on some scrap white card and fussy cut before gluing onto my tree panel and the sentiment strip was stamped with part of the Wishing You A stamp from Christmas Sentiments and then embossed with gold EP.
