Good morning and welcome to the last day of introductions for the August release at Uniko.
Today we are all about stencils.
First we have the Layering Retro Stripes. It's a set of 5 stencils that overlay to create a fab retro stripe pattern. For those of you of a certain age it might remind you of the old Severn Trent logo or in a different colourway of the LWT indent logo for back in the 70's! Well it did me anyway!!
Here's my first card with a similar colourway to the water logo, it must have been in my head when I chose the colours. After creating the initial central knot of lines, I placed the stencils around the edge of my panel to fill in the open space. These colours were DIs in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles, Peacock Feathers and Lucky Clover but the world is your oyster, just pick your faves or go with a rainbow!
The sentiment is Outlined sentiments, coloured with a black marker and matted onto a scrap of green card.
Next is a card made with the Ink n Flip Mid Century Leaves. Those of you who attended the Winwick class last Sunday may recognise this next and final intro. For this idea I didn't flip it though.
I looked at the stencil when I first got it and decided they did look like leaves so did them as such, inking with Twisted Citron and a hint of Mowed Lawn DI, it was only when I flipped the stencil that I realised that the pattern develops from the points touching. Anyway I left it as such to show it can be used without flipping, adding some magenta retro blooms, Flower Power #7 to the openings created by not flipping. A fine black liner and a straight edge created the stems. A simple sentiment matted on the same green as my trimmed panel was added then the whole panel added to a white A6 base card.
That's all from but please check out the rest of the Uniko team to see how they've used these fab new stencils
See you back tomorrow for the big release, blog hop and GIVEAWAY!!
