Introducing Uniko's... Stencils Large Snowflake #1 and Large Snowflake #2

Morning all, time for another stencil introduction at Uniko, well actually 2 Festive/Winter ones.

First off is this fab Large Snowflake #2 with the matching mask. For my card I've teamed it with a couple of stamp sets that feature snowflakes, Snowflake Serenade and Stunning Snowflakes.

Taking a panel of white card, I stamped the large element from Swirling Snowflakes a couple of times, embossing with white EP. I then filled in some of the gaps with snowflakes from the same set and Stunning Snowflakes and heat embossed those to match. The large snowflake stencil was added over and inked with Altenew's Ultramarine, fading out to Iceberg ink. Placing the mask into the stencil, I then carefully removed the stencil to leave the mask in place and inked with Weathered Wood DI over the top, blending out from the center to reveal the embossed snowflakes. 

The sentiment from Pattern Building Christmas Tree was stamped in Ultramarine too and added along with a few silver sequins. The finished panel was trimmed and added to an A6 base card to leave a slight border.

In my second card I started by inking over the mask of Large Snowflake #1 with Altenew Galactic Stream, blending out to Aqualicious on white card. Placing the stencil over the inked snowflake, I then stamped some more snowflakes from Snowflake Serenade and Stunning Snowflakes in Dew Drops through the opening, except for the central one which I stamped with Galactic Stream.


Again a few sequins and the sentiment from Pattern Building Christmas Tree,stamped in Teal Cave complete the card. Trimmed down again it was added to another A6 base card to leave a slight border.

That's all from me for today but why not check out what the rest of the Brand Ambassadors have been up to? I'll be back tomorrow with the full reveal.

Introducing... Pattern Building Christmas Tree

Good morning. Its time to reveal the last of the September release sets from Uniko. 
Today we are showcasing the Pattern Building Christmas Tree. Here's my take!


Whilst thinking of my design, I was rifling through my background box and came across a sentiment stamped background, this one is from a batch I made back in October 2019! I thought it showed off the strips rather well, I seem to be on a roll with stamped backgrounds.
To decide the size and shape of the tree, I laid out different elements in decreasing size order on an A6 scrap of paper. Choosing some scraps from the bit box, I cut some strips and laid those out too in a pleasing colour pattern, before stamping each element onto the strips of card and then reassembling onto the panel. To get a different look, all you need to do is change the order of the strips or the colours used or the background!

So that's it for the introductions, tomorrow we will be back with our BA Blog Hop and Giveaway, but if you want to check out more ideas for this set, check out the rest of the BAs first.
