I was so excited to receive my new stamps from Uniko Studio's latest release - they are gorgeous. It would have been rude not to open them up and have a play today :)
The Christmas tree from the Rustic Christmas set is great to work with. On this card I white embossed it on to some teal cardstock and used Uniko snowflakes from the Winter Vines set. I added a few pops of red and some Mister Huey's shimmer spray to give a festive feel! I will link this up with Less Is More's current challenge which is 'celebrations' and at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday's Anything Goes Challenge. I will also link up at Uniko's Anything Goes challenge too :)
On this card I decided to try using the tree as a background stamp and used a light grey Mama Elephant ink. I just got a few ME inkpads from Make the Day Special and they are lovely....think I will be adding the full set to my Christmas list! I like the pattern the trees create and added a tree in red on top.
Finally I went with more traditional Christmas colours in red and green. This simple card shows how lovely the tree is. The little birds add a pop of colour. I will link up at Merry Mondays where the challenge is to use red/white/green.
I hope you like them :)
See you again soon,

ReplyDeleteLoving that tree Sarah! Lovely cards! Hazel x
ReplyDeleteI really love your cards, Sarah! Beautiful shimmer on the first one, fab background on the 2nd one, and your CAS design on the last card is gorgeous! The trees in this set are really pretty, so I'm glad you chose not to be 'rude' by leaving them in the package...you are so funny :)
ReplyDeleteFAB-U-ous! All three! My fav is the first with that awesome blue and pop of red! Are you surprised? (Wink). Those are awesome stamps! Totally agree with you!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I made cards using these yesterday!! Not as good as these though, they are all so creative! I love hoe you have shown us 3 ways to use these. My fav is the second one and thanks for joining us at Uniko x
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Sarah ... so delighted you played with this brilliant set (a wish book one for me!) ... and shared such fabulous cards! The snowy scene's gorgeous with all the shimmer, love the funky background on the red and silver one, and the last ... oh so deliciously CAS ... yum! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous!! I absolutely love that Xmas tree, so exciting to see you using it in such creative ways. I love all of your cards but my favourite would be where you used the tree as a background stamp, fantastic idea and works beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWow, that tree is the one stamp that I like most of the new stamps and here each time on each card you used it so beautifully! Great cards! Enjoy your sunday, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteGreat tree image - super job showcasing it with all these fabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteVery unique tree image! I have not seen this one before, and I love that you showed three different designs. Endless possibilities!
