Uniko - Revisit and Blog Hop ....

... Good morning! Sorry I've not been around much - busy getting stuff sorted out for the new house. However, I did make time to get into my craft room to create a card for the Uniko Revisit Blog Hop. Bev has a new release every other month, and on the off-month, we revisit an older set.  This month Bev picked Pure Florals Cosmos.  I think this is such a pretty set and it's perfect for the birthday card I've made:

Stamps: Uniko - Pure Florals Cosmos
Inks: Versamark; Versafine - Onyx Black; Memento - Tuxedo Black
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Stampin' Up! DP - Wild Wasabi; SU Card - Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi; Vellum; Gold and White Embossing Powder; Copics; Wink of Stella - Clear

I've used the colours from Colour Throwdown - CTD#383 - so spring-like, and the layout is based on the sketch at Fusion - FUSION#50. I stamped the single flower repeated on vellum, heat embossed with gold tinsel powder and then cut them out.  I coloured the reverse of the flowers with Copic markers and added a touch of sparkle to the front with clear Wink of Stella. I used up some scraps of design paper and card to create the panel at the top.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with white powder.  On the inside I cut a panel of green card for the mat layer and on the white panel stamped the cosmos flowers and a greeting.

Here's a close up of the pretty Cosmos flowers - I think you can just about see the sparkle!!!

This is a blog hop and you should have come to my blog via Bev's, however, in case you've arrived here directly, here's the Blog Hop list:

Uniko Studio - Revisit ....

....  Morning!!  Today the Uniko Design Team are revisiting one of Beverley's earlier stamp sets (and one of my favourites) - Pure Florals: Gerbera.  Gerbera daisies are so pretty and come in a huge variety of colours, so you can really play with this set.  Here's my card:

Stamps: Uniko Studio - Pure Florals: Gerbera
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black; Stampin' Up! - Watermelon Wonder
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Watermelon Wonder

I used the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch! - CTS#126 challenge.  I think it's just perfect to showcase that fabulous flower.  I cut a panel of white card smaller than the card base, used temporary adhesive to hold it in place and stamped the outline image in black and the solid image in red.  I layered the smaller panel on card and adhered the lot to the card, using the coloured card hides the small gap where the image doesn't quite stamp.  I finished the front with a simple sentiment.  I stamped them on some scraps of card and adhered them with dimensional tape.  On the inside I kept it really simple with a mat layer of red card and stamped the outline image on the white panel.

We have a new member joining the Design Team this month - please welcome Jane to the team.  So why not follow the Blog Hop to check out what the team have created with this super set:
