Finally, release day at Uniko has arrived and hopefully you have arrived as part of our release blog hop. It is a bumper release with 5 new stencils and 6 stamp sets. I have had so much fun playing with these new designs and here are a few more examples of what I have made:
First up I have used the Balloon Bash stencil and done some shaded inking with distress oxides. I then overlaid them with the star stencil. The sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments.
On this card I decided to try some no line watercolouring on the lovely daffodil using aquamarkers.
This is a print that I pulled from the chrysanthemum stencil on my gelli plate.
Here is a print that I pulled of the Seeing Stars stencil from the gelli plate. I combined it with one of my mdf stars painted in grey/blue and embossed the sentiment from Birthday Sentiments in copper.
Finally I used one of my mdf art boards to create a spring themed decoration. I painted the stand in white and added texture in the background before painting in blues and greens. The daffodils were watercoloured and fussy cut and I added the lovely sentiment which makes me smile.
I shall link this project up at Simon's Monday Challenge which is In My Garden
I hope this post has given you lots of ideas for ways to use these fab new products....thank you for sticking with me :) Sarah P will have more inspiration for you over on her blog and you can start from the beginning at Uniko.
See you again soon,

ReplyDeletethere is so much to discover on each of your single cards. I really love the overlay of the stars on the balloons and the no line technique gives your daffodil card a very special touch. Also the gelly plate background is soooo nice! Love it!

ReplyDeleteAn amazing array of showcases today that, when added to those you designed for the intros, sees me marveling at your creativity! While each has something that catches my eye, it's your chrysanthemum that's causing some major swooning! Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteSimply SPECTACULAR - each one is so unique and totally inspiring Sarah. I'm in awe at your stencilling on the balloons and how they really look rounded.

ReplyDeleteWOW - your balloons look so dimensional! love the star-pattern on them.
ReplyDeleteWOW - both of your daffodil-cards have such a impressive colouring! (shading and blending are both stunning)
WOW - perfect chrysanthemum! (I still struggle sometimes with delicate stencils)
WOW - just love the distressed look of the star-background (I really have to get more information about the gelli plate... havn't heard much about it yet)
Thank you - I'm inspired now!
Greetings from Wiebke
Sorry I'm a bit late, but my little toddler Milo keeps me really busy at day-time and makes me fall asleep right after dinner these days. I also have to "pay" :-D with lots of cuddling time and attention for my journey to the Uniko-HQ last weekend - Milo missed me!
Beautiful mix of cards!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing cards. I love the way you have stencilled the stars onto the balloons.
ReplyDeleteFabulous showcase Sarah. I love all the different mediums- and you've inspired me to get my Gelli plate out again! X
