Good morning. Today at Uniko we are focusing on Masculine cards featuring Ink n Flip and other stencils. Over on the Uniko blog there are plenty of ideas from Bev and the other BAs and whilst you're checking them out why not leave a comment for a chance to win! Here are a couple of cards I made using the Ink n Flip Delightful Diamonds stencil which was recently released.
To start, I inked a panel of A5 white card with the stencil and a selection of green and blue DIs, moving the stencil around until the panel was completely covered. On my first pass I used Twisted Citron and added a hint of Peacock Feathers at the edges. After wiping the ink off, I flipped and went with Salty Ocean and a hint of Blueprint Sketch.
Now how to use the panel? This first card is very simple, a panel attached to an A6 base card followed by a die cut speech bubble stamped with the sentiment and a few punched stars and dots from black card added.
This second one came about after I die cut a circle from the trimmed down panel to place my sentiment but it didn't look quite right, so I popped the circle back in and noticed that if I rotated it 90' most of the white lines matched up to create a fun pattern over which I could add the sentiment stamped on a white circle die cut. Think I will play around with this idea further, a series of circle die cuts perhaps.
The end result has a sort of Pop Art vibe which I think is great for a masculine card, but change the colours and it would work equally for a female recipient!
So that's all from me but why not check out the rest of the team here:-
