Uniko Studio Release Day Blog Hop

Hello!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the two lovely mini stamp sets that Bev from Uniko Studio has designed for us this month!  The florals and nautical stamps cover lots of occasions and have fabulous clean lines which make them wonderful to work with.

I have a few more cards to share with you today as you hop along with us.  First up are a couple of nautical treasures:

 
Here I paired the sailboat with a background sea stamp from Hero Arts which I inked up with one of their ombre inkpads to create variation in colour.
 


I white embossed the compass stamps from the set and washed over them with watercolours.  I die cut a square frame and popped it up over the sailboat.

And also a couple of cards made using Flower Power #7:



I stamped and masked the lovely flowers in pinks and yellows and popped a die cut curved panel over the top with a sentiment from Uniko's All Occasion Sentiments #1 set.

 
I stamped the stem and leaves several times to create a long stalk for the sweet flower and popped a sentiment from Uniko's Fontiments Birthday set over the top.

I won't keep you any longer as you will want to see what fantastic designs the rest of the DT have to share with you today.  Head over to the Uniko blog to hop along and remember that one lucky person will win this month's release for leaving a comment!

Thanks for celebrating the release with us!

  18. Wow that background sea stamp is incredible and looks so good with the ombre stamp pad. I've just ordered two pads myself and can't wait for them to arrive. The ship looks so crisp and clean amongst the waves, perfect masculine card!!
