We are back today with the final introducing post before Uniko's new release goes live tomorrow. Fun Flowers is the 5th new stencil in the release and it lives up to its name! Here is what I have made:
I white embossed the flowers and inked over them in a range of distress oxides. The sentiment from Birthday Sentiments is stamped and cut out. I also die cut a butterfly by Concord and 9th from inked card and layered it over a black butterfly for a bit of added depth.
I inked the stencil with distress inks and used Uniko's fun flower stamps over the top to give them an outline. I then fussy cut them out and popped them up on the card over stems and leaves from the Fun Flowers stamp set. A bit of black and white washi tape at the bottom completes the design.
Finally, I inked through the stencil in blues and greens and added a few flowers that I had stamped over popped up around the birthday sentiment.
These flowers can be used either as a background or a focal point. Check out more ideas from the DT over at the Uniko blog.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the release day blog hop!
