Morning and Happy New Year!!
So it's also day 2 of introductions for Uniko's New Year release. Today we are featuring another of Bev's ingenious Ink n Flip stencils and a sentiment set that will hopefully add some extra sparkle to your designs!
Firstly here's my take on the stencil.
After my initial play with the stencil, I was quite pleased with the result of using a WOW embossing pen in the spaces of the gem instead of inking with a dauber and Versamark. I added sparkly silver WOW EP to the first stencilled area and heat set before wiping the stencil and flipping. This time I used silver glitter EP, I love the effect using the different powders gives. The central panel was then cut from my stencilled panel and a die cut semi circle arc from a scrap of gold mirror card using 2 stacked circle dies, creates the suggestion of a gold ring. A simple sentiment in black Memento completes the panel. The panel was then popped up on pads to leave a border over an A6 note card.
My second card uses the Sparkle Sentiments stamp set. As you can see it would link really well with the stencilled diamond but for this card I've used the two different sizes of text and a stamped diamond which I've stamped and embossed with white EP and a few sparkle hi lights in silver sparkle.
Once I'd embossed the text onto a panel of MM paper, I added some Sea Grass Brusho and spritzed with water and let it stand until dry. The excess ink on the embossing was removed with a damp paintbrush and some kitchen towel before the silver sparkles were added. Panel trimmed it was added to an off white base card.
I'm sure there are lots of wordy sentiments you could come up with using this set and a simple treatment like this will show them off, no artistic input required.
So that's all for today but be sure to check out the rest of the team below.
Great idea Julie, I did something similar with a die, but the stencil works brilliantly. The sentiments work really equally well on their own or with the stencil. Great inspiration.x
ReplyDeleteBoth very cleverly conceived cards. The first one is really clever with the addition of a ‘ring’! X
