It's the final day of the intros for Uniko's June release. Today we showcase a stencil duo that I've found to be so versatile in creating backgrounds. Here is one idea I came up with.
One of the stencils gives you the solid element of the chevron and the second the pattern. This panel was made using a combination of the two and some DI in Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers.
I started with the solid stencil, inking first with Peacock Feathers before flipping and repeating with Salty Ocean. Next I replaced the stencil with the patterned one and used Peacock Feathers then flipping and using Salty Ocean, to create this overall pattern.
I'd seen a card a few years ago that influenced this card I think but as per usual I can't find it, it must have stuck in my mind though! I cut the inked panel with an MFT rectangle die and added the sentiment panel, a mix of Happy from MCM Christmas and half of the Happy Birthday from Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs.
This second card uses the same stencil but inked in a slightly different way.
Mounted down the middle of an A6 white note card, the strip was edged with a slither of holographic card along each edge, saves on card, and the sentiment panel added on foam pads. I've used Sentiments Outlined embossed in white on some matching blue card, filling in the open area of wonderful with an embossing pen before heat embossing again. The panel was mounted onto a scalloped die cut rectangle and a few punched stars complete.
I wonder what the rest of the team have come up with? Why noy check out their ideas below.
Both are so pretty, my fave is the second one!
