Stamps: Uniko - Decorative Doilies, Today Tomorrow & Always Time
Inks: Gina K - Powder Blue, Kraft, Black Onyx; Versafine - Onyx Black; Versamark
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Sahara Sand; Uniko Stencil - Lattice; Stampendous - Kaleidoscope Embossing Powder; Vellum
I interpreted the challenge to mean an old Uniko stamp set and something from the new range. I used Decorative Doilies, probably my favourite stamp set, along with Today Tomorrow and Always Time for the words, along with the new lattice stencil. I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch - CTS#255, the colours are from Colour Throwdown - CTD#476, and I'm also playing along with CASology - CAS#283 where the cue word is GLIMMER.
I sponged on some pale blue ink through the stencil fading it out at the edge. I stamped the doily on kraft card in Versmark and embossed with a shimmery embossing powder, and then I fussy cut it out. I stamped the birthday greeting on vellum and adhered it to the centre of the doily. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of kraft card and on the white panel, I added a greeting, along with a clock and another doily. This card is going in my stash as I've got quite a lot of birthdays in the next few months.
Here's a close up of the shimmery doily - love the iridescent colours:

Great combo of Uniko products, love that blue strip and how it fades away!
Great minds think alike because I thought exactly the same thing as you when I read the theme! I love your combination of the Doilies stamp together with the Lattice stencil as well as the colours you chose ! A fabulous combination of challenges (also do love doing that !). Hope you feel better now. Have a great day ! Hugs x
Great take on the inspiration photo and on the sketch!
How pretty your pairing of the doily and lattice, Deborah; perfect choice of old/new images for the colour/sketch challenges you've entered, as well as for our theme! Birthdays are celebrations of love, too! Hope you're feeling better!

I love this interpretation of the challenge and I am loving your mix of the lattice and sparkly doilies :) Wonderful to see an old retired sentiment too! Hugs Bev x
Great CAS card Deborah, and it goes well with all the challenges too!
What a lovely glimmer to that embossing powder. Beautiful CAS card with that blue softness. So happy you could add some glimmer to the challenge at CASology this week.
I really love those blues and your touch of glimmer is beautiful. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
Love the faded lattice background. Can't go wrong with glimmer! Great use of the time sentiment inside your card too xx
