Today is the final introducing post before you can get your hands on the fabulous September release from Uniko! We are featuring Nature's Treasures II - a set of leafy goodness which will work with so many of your other stamps.
Friday is also the beginning of our September challenge at Uniko with the theme of Autumn/Fall with the optional twist of Thanks. With that in mind I used lots of autumn colours on this first card using Nature's Treasures II:
I white embossed the leaves and inked over in a range of distress inks. The sentiment is from All Occasion Sentiments #6 white embossed on dark brown card and I added a few lines of stitching to add to the rustic feel.
Next up I created a lighter card using clusters of the leaves stamped on a white card base in different greens and topped with a gold embossed sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #6.
This set will be one that I get lots of use out of as the leaves provide a perfect accent to floral images and are big enough to be a focal point on their own too :) Here is the full set:
The 3 stamp sets in Uniko's September release will be available for sale tomorrow and I hope you will pop by as the DT will be sharing more inspiration as part of a blog hop with prizes. You can see more fabulous designs from the DT using Nature's Treasures II today over on the Uniko blog.
Thanks for stopping by,
