TIME x 2

Hello,


Both cards today use Uniko Studio Stamps TIME.

The first uses some lovely bright colours and I've fussy cut three of the images to pop up within the cut out square of this pre-cut card base.  AnnaBelle's icicles and some Stickles add a little sparkle!

For the second card I've stamped smaller images using VersaMark to the card background adding the larger image over navy card. Finishing off with a button and tag tied with linen thread.

This will be my last post before Easter, Ian's got some time off and we have friends  to stay with all sorts of things planned :)   I hope you enjoy a peaceful Easter and that the weather behaves!

Til next time.....................

Birthday Balloons

Today's Uniko Studio card is for the Retro Sketch challenge #56.

During my last trip to Sydney I met  a lovely lady who shared her Art Journal with me.  She introduced me to dylusions ink sprays, amongst other things! I couldn't resist adding  a 'couple' to my stash :).

This card is made from a thick, textured watercolour card.
The lime polka dot strip is one of the pieces I've sprayed using sequin waste as a mask.  What you can't see in the photo is the sparkle added by spritzing first with a mix of water and PearlEx......pretty!

The images and sentiments are from Uniko Studio Stamps: Label Love: Birthday. All stamped and cut by hand to add to the card front.  Fine twine, and buttons are from AnnaBelle Stamps.

I have one more post before Easter with the last of the cards I made using Uniko Studio Stamps, hope you'll call past to check them out.

Day 3 and one for the Males!

Three days of Uniko Studio Stamps......  and I have a card for a Male today. Don't know about you, but I make very few of these!

One of the first sets from Uniko was called Extra Time and this set is full of images and sentiments all about TIME......

 A Strip of light brown card sits along the edge of the inside of this kraft card. I've sponged all other edges and splattered the card using a watered down Frayed Burlap. Two clock faces are stamped to the kraft using VersaMark Ink.  The Sentiment is stamped in Hero Arts soft brown with a third clock face stamped in the same ink to water colouring card. More sponging and die cutting before this was popped up on foam over two strips of burlap tape to complete the card.

I have a post for Scrapbook Boutique tomorrow so Day 4 will be the day after :)


Products used:
Uniko Studio Stamps: Extra Time
SU Kraft Card
Watercolouring card and a scrap of American Crafts Soft Brown card.

AC159 - A Sketch for AnnaBelle Stamps

Here's this week's sketch from AnnaBelle Stamps, hope you have fun with it.

For my card I decided on a one layer card in black!

To achieve the vibrant LIME centre I've masked and painted some gesso then coloured with Inktense pencils.  A White gel pen for the dots with the image and 'sentiment' from Garden Silhouettes stamped in Black ink.

Three LIME sprinkles complete this card.

Products available from AnnaBelle Stamps Include:

Lime Sprinkles

Easter Candy Winner

Back again, after a few days away. The boss said no computer this time so apart from the iphone I've been 'off line'.........Nice actually to have some time to sit with a book as well as  enjoy some retail therapy!  It's great to actually see and touch things in the craft stores and to talk about all the new exciting products. I've added a few things to my stash and even more to my wish list :)

Now I'm late drawing the winner for my little Easter Candy.........well actually I did draw a winner by writing names to strips of paper and getting Walshie to pick one out.

LORRAINE from sunny Jersey in the UK. 

This little stamp set with matching die will be heading your way.

Thanks again to my followers and to those of you who joined in.  See you soon.................
