Afternoon, I'm here with a card made for my final week of guesting with the girls at JUGS. This week is stencil week and so I couldn't help myself and reached for the fab Christmas Layering Bauhaus Blocks stencil from Uniko. Then I thought why not combine it with the regular Layering Bauhaus Blocks set, win win in my view!
I've gone large for this card, a full A5 white base card with an A6 panel for the stencilling.
To start I inked through the Christmas set onto the middle of my white A6 panel using Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks, before filling in and around with a mix of the regular Bauhaus Stencil and Christmas one, keeping to the same colours. Just using these colours makes the standard stencil feel festive!
Once complete, the panel was trimmed to neaten up and double mounted onto some red and green card. A sentiment from one of my first ever Uniko purchases, not even sure of the name now but it's well used, was stamped with more Candied Apple and then embossed with clear super fine EP from WOW. I've learnt the hard way that stamping in a colour then adding clear EP is so much cleaner than using coloured EPs and easier on your pocket too!
So that's it, thanks to the girls at JUGS who've made me feel so welcome these past few weeks, as usual they have some fabulous ideas to inspire.
Looking forward to seeing you in the JUGS gallery.

ReplyDeleteJulie, this stencil was in my cart at one time and I must have gotten distracted...now I see this fun and pretty card you've created!! I see all the work it took using two stencil sets and it was so worth it. Great stenciling! Thanks for guesting with us and sharing your talents!

ReplyDeleteJulie... tried to buy that stamp! You inspired me. Looks like Uniko is not shipping to the US anymore. Can't blame them with our crazy tariffs on small businesses. Really love your card.
