Introducing Solid Alphabet Stamps and Background Block Waves

Good morning and welcome to another post for the Uniko February release. Today we have a couple of new stamp sets to introduce. My first example uses the new Background Blocks Wave and the older Nautical Treasures.

When I first saw the new block, it reminded me of the sea so that's why I hunted out this boat image to use with it. I wanted to stamp it onto a coloured background to suggest the sea, so rooted through my box of inky backgrounds and found a very old panel made with Brusho and some silver wax. I didn't want too much of the silver so trimmed down my panel before stamping the block with Blueprint Sketch DI and over stamping with Versamark and heat embossing with clear EP.

Once my panel was trimmed, I stamped the yacht onto a scrap of white and fussy cut it out. I cut away most of the rigging, drawing it back with a black fine liner once it was glued to my panel. 

On a strip of white I stamped the sentiment from Simply Said Sentiments, all panels were popped up on pads to complete.

Next up is the Solid Alphabet Stamp set, where I've used most of the set!

For this card, I started by inking a panel of white card with a rainbow of DI ink and when complete stamped the alphabet with Versamark and heat embossed with clear EP, except the HI which I stamped in black and then embossed with clear EP. The beautiful from Beautiful, was stamped on black and heat embossed with white EP before fussy cutting, I chopped off the trailing lines for this example. A trio of daisy flowers were stamped and fussy cut, using Copic to colour the centers and added. The beautiful word was popped up on foam pads before the completed panel was added to a 5 x 7 white base card with foam pads.

That's it from me for today but be sure to come back tomorrow for more introductions. In the meantime, check out what the rest of the girls have been up to with these stamps.
