Uniko Brand Ambassador Post - Snowflakes

 Morning all. Just a quick post to share a card I made for my Uniko BA inspiration and to join in a couple of challenges.

Over at JUGS it's stencil week and at The Paper Players it's a sketch. I've combined both to create this Christmas card.

I found an ombre stencilled panel using Uniko's Let it Snow stencil and some shades of blue DOx., I believe it was Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Broken China. It reminded me of the inspiration card from the Paper Players by Joanne, and combined it with the large snowflake from Rustic Snowflake. I initially looked for some blue card to match but then decided to make my own DP with a Gelli plate pull using all the colours, it was bound to match then!! 

I trimmed down each panel and added them to a white A6 note card as per the sketch. Some of the gelli print I inked over with more Chipped Sapphire to darken it and stamped the snowflake with Versamark and heat embossed with white EP. A sentiment from Peace on Earth was similarly done.

The dark navy strip was cut to size and added over the snowflake stencilling and the snowflake was cut out using a circle die and added. The greeting was trimmed down and added to complete. Another card for my Christmas stash!

That's it for today but I'll be back tomorrow with the new Color Hues challenge.

Happy crafting!

Thirdly using probably my favourite of this release, Modern Poinsettia layering stencil. With a stencil this good you don't really need much to make a fab card.

Introducing Rustic Snowflake

Morning and welcome to day 2 of the introductions for Uniko's Christmas in July release.

Today our focus is on the Rustic Snowflake stamp set whose style you may recognise from other sets in the Rustic series. Here's what I made, the set comes with some sentiments and a few smaller snowflakes which I haven't used for this design.

I had a few bits of homemade watercolour DP left over from an earlier make here, but not enough for a swing card. So I just made a simple square card, stamping and embossing in white onto a previously diecut panel. This was mounted onto white then added to my base panel. The whole coloured panel was then added to my square white base card. As kit was quite busy I left of any greeting which can easily go on the inside of the card. 

For another intro come back at the same time tomorrow but first why not check out the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors over on the Uniko blog to see what they've been upto!
