Next is a card using MCM Everyday Sentiments and BB MOD Builder.

If you remember yesterday's card this is another piece of the same panel but I played around with the background, bleaching out some of the cells, then die cutting the panel to fill the openings. Bold white on black embossed sentiments complete.

This card has BB MOD Builder front and center, with a little help from Hello Lovely and Birthday Sentiments.

On a panel of white card, I stamped the BB MOD Builder in a very pale ink, Altenew Limestone I think, then coloured each cell with Copics in a rainbow effect. The panel was trimmed and the sentiment added. Next I stamped the large floral image across each corner of my A6 base card in black and added the rainbow panel on pads.

Finally I played around with the new Ink and Flip stencil and Bokeh Hearts stencil.

I used the more open stencil as a mask whilst I inked the Bokeh Hearts then the smaller one for the Geometric Heart element. I used a couple of DIs for this, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry. As it's so busy, I left off a sentiment.

Introducing... Background Blocks MOD Builder

Morning all, it's the final day of our new release introductions at Uniko. Today we are focusing on a new addition to the background blocks stable, Background Blocks, MOD Builder.

You may recognise the pattern from one of Bev's earlier released stencils MOD Builder stencil.

Here's what I came up with using it.

On a panel of white card, I inked a rainbow of colours using DI inks, then stamped the block with matching ink over the top. I decided to make a slimline card as my inked panel was slightly too large for a standard A6 without loosing the rainbow effect. The frame was cut from white and the panel placed under, after stamping and heat embossing in white the sentiment from Mid Century Modern Birthday set. 

So what do you think? There's lots more inspiration on the BA's blogs here.

Introducing... Mid Century Modern Birthday

Good morning and welcome to day 2 of the new Uniko release introductions. 

Today we are focusing on Mid Century Modern Birthday. Here's my take.

The set comprises of a large sentiment, smaller MCM additions and a few of present stamps along with ribbon and bows. The pressies on the release logo are how Bev imagined them, but I went slightly off piste with my watercolour take.

Using my Misti, I stamped the solid pressies first with plain water then again with DI onto MM paper. The ink spreads into the water to give a watercolour look without the hassle! To make the top middle pressie, I used the solid square from BB Squares. When the ink was dry, I added some pattern with a white gel pen and some doodled strings with a black fine liner. I liked the clean look so did not add any sentiment.

Here's a second card using the parcels again but this time simply stamped using DI and the ribbons similarly before fussy cutting each element out.

Just to show how well it combines with other sets I've used the sentiment from Birthday sentiments instead of the one from the set. A few embossed stars and a few sequins complete.

So that's it from me, but why not check out the rest of the team for their takes.
