Good morning.
Today at Uniko we are revisiting the Sunshine and Rainbows set AND announcing the start of a new Facebook VIP challenge.
So without further ado here are a couple of cards using the set.
This card uses the rainbow builder BUT with a twist!
I created the rainbows by stamping the REVERSE of the image. Normally there is a gap between each arc but this way you can blend the arcs of the rainbow together. You do need a little bit of masking for the smallest purple arc but I think it's worth it. After covering the A6 panel with rainbows, I added some stamped hearts, then added one of my square sentiments made from Doodle Flowers. I'm almost out of these so must make some time to make some more. It takes awhile to line up the elements in my MISTI, so it's well worth getting some stamped on neutral colours that I can dip into when required. I framed the sentiment with a thin white square border die cut using stacking squares.
Frustratingly as I removed the two squares I wanted one of the set slipped out, bounced on the bookcase and slipped between that and the fitted cupboards in my craft room. Now if the bookcase was small no problem but this is a monster made from solid oak and FULL, I mean VERY full of books, so until I need said die it will remain there until I have time to empty the bookcase and have a couple of strong helpers to move it!!
Anyway here is another make using the set, who says rainbows have to be bold!
The other day a post from Concord and 9th fell into my feed and one of the cards used a new stencil and as soon as I saw it I knew I could used the rainbow arcs to create something similar. As The Paper Players are asking for pastel colours, I thought I would play along and came up with this.
All the rainbow arcs were lined up in my MISTI then I stamped them around in pastel shades all over the edges of my A6 panel, overlapping as I went. Another of my Doodle Flower sentiments added on pads complete, very simple.
So why not check out what the rest of the team have made and if you are into rainbows join our FB group and link up a card in the album for a chance to win a £10 egift voucher. Just make sure that you use Uniko products as your main focus.

Oh how good does the ‘back of the stamp’ rainbow look? Amazing! I must remember this (and how often do I say that?!!) 😂🤦🏻♀️ x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards and such an unusual idea to use the back of the stamp.
