Stamps: Uniko - Background Builders Happy Hexagons, Originally Organic Additions, Bee Happy, Simply Said Blocks II
Inks: Gina K - Dusty Rose, Red Hot, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Jelly Bean Green, Blue Raspberry, Wild Lilac, Lovely Lavender, Black Onyx, Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Basic Black; Gems; Gina K Wreath Builder Stencil
I started with the one-layer get well card. I used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches - CASC&S#285, the colours are from The Paper Players - PP#405, and the theme comes from Cardz for Guyz - C4G#201. I used my MISTI to work out where to stamp each image, took a photo and then had fun stamping. I think this is a bright, cheery card and perfect when feeling rough. I've left the inside blank.
Next is the square card. This one is totally different; I used the pretty large outline hexagon image to create a rainbow wreath or flower! I used my Gina K wreath builder stencil to position the card and stamp the flower. Once finished, I added a bold sentiment in the centre. I layered the finished panel on black card and attached it to a square card base. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of black card and on the white panel stamped the hexagon at the corners. I'm submitting this card to AAA Cards - AAA#121 where the theme is friendship.
I'm submitting both cards to Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge - TCC#08 where the theme is Geometric. I've been wanting to play along with this challenge for ages, but this is the first time I've actually managed to get my act together and make some cards!!
The second stamp set that we're introducing today is simply called Beautiful - and it is!! Here's my very clean and simple card:
Stamps: Uniko - Beautiful
Inks: Distress - Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry; Gina K - Black Onyx
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Uniko Stencil - Lattice; Nuvo - Clear Shimmer Brush
I used masking tape to create a strip towards the bottom of the card. I stamped the flowers to the left and used masks to create a group of three flowers. Leaving the masks in place I put a stencil over the card and inked the background. Removing the masks makes it look like the stencilled pattern goes behind the flowers. I finished the front by adding a simple sentiment and lots of shimmer to the flowers. I've left in the inside blank for my own message. I'm submitting this card to The Flower Challenge - TFC#23 where they want one-layer cards. I've taken a photo to show all the lovely sparkle on the flowers:
That's all from me today - don't forget to visit Uniko and join in with the blog hop and leave some comments as you go! See you again tomorrow for the last of our introductions.

Love your stamped wreath of hexagons, had a go myself when I got them, so WTS!
A great interpretation of the sketch with the second, thanks for sharing at C4G, and the flower one is so pretty! :)
Deborah... love your geometric design! So clean and simple. Thanks so much for joining us this week at The Paper Players.
Yayyy for the hexagon Twofer creations, Deborah; I'm especially taken with your pretty rainbow version. Your sparkly flowers, paired with the pop of colour stenciling...beautiful!

You have made a gorgeous array of CASlicous cards here, Deborah! I love the clean lines of both your geometric Twofer designs! Who knew that stamp would make such a beautiful rainbow wreath? YOU DID!! And I love the uber CAS arrangement of your get well card which would work for either gender! (It's an amazing take on the CTS sketch!) Your b/w flower design with the ombre panel sliding out from behind is also fabulous and I love the schparkle!! Thank you so much for playing Twofer Card Challenge #8! It's great to see you!! Hugs, Darnell
Loving the 'wreath' trend I am seeing around the paper crafting world and this rainbow geometric beauty is a stunner. Beautifully done and a wonderful showcase of this new geometric set. Love how you have used the CC&S sketch on your 2nd example & lovely to see you in the gallery over there :)
Your 'beautiful' card is so wonderfully pretty paired with the lattice and the added sparkle.
A stunning showcase of Uniko, THANK YOU! Hugs Bev x
