Uniko - February Release Day & Blog Hop

Here we go! Happy 4th birthday Uniko!

At last it's time to reveal the complete Uniko February release and a chance to win it all!

                            

I've got four cards to share with you today, each one using one of the new release sets at its centre. First up is the gorgeous Beautiful Blooms III.

I combined it with a sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #6 and heat embossed the flower outline and the final markings of both the flower and leaves.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Beautiful Blooms III, All Occasion Sentiments #6
Inks: SU, wild wasabi; Ranger distress, shaded lilac, scattered straw; Versamark
Embossing: Stampendous, white

Card 2 invites you to share a cup of tea with me - wouldn't that be fun?

I stamped and coloured the tea cup and then masked it out to stencil the spotted background. This was inspired by a tablecloth at a favourite tea room near my village.

 

Supplies: 

Stamps:Uniko, I Love Tea

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black; SU, marina mist, regal rose, pistachio pudding

Die: Lil'inker, stitched mats rectangles

Stencil: Stamposaurus

Promarker: ivory

Card 3 is what I like to call a modern take on the Valentine/love theme that all over blogland at the moment.

 

I combined that 'go to' set Simply Said with the camera film roll from Strike A Pose and then matted it onto hot pink. Striking and in your face was what I was aiming for - do you think I achieved it?

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Simply Said, Strike A Pose
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black, bahama blue, pear tart, rose bud

My final card uses that oh so cute bunny and this time I've gone with an Easter theme. 

I die cut an egg shape and stamped the sentiment and tiny hearts onto it. The bowtie picks up on the vertical banner's colour.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Some Bunny
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black
Card: scraps from my stash
Promarkers: vanilla, raw sienna, terracotta, grey green
Die: Spellbinders, petite ovals large
