Uniko - June Release Bloghop

Hurray and Aloha! Today's the day when the Uniko DT get to share their creations using the tropically terrific new June release.

 

And what an absolutely fantastic release too! Hot or what? My craft desk has not seen such colourful creations before and I've had a brilliant blast working right outside of my usual style!

This toucan is just terrific and I did my research and it seems they do come in other colours rather than the well known Guiness version! Ooh, fabulous fun with my promarkers.

Loving how the slightly speckled effect watercolour paper gives adds a touch of realism to his feathers.

Supplies:
Uniko, Paradise & Paradise Leaves
Inks: Ranger distress, peacock feathers, mustard seed, lucky clover; Memento, tuxedo black
Promarkers: azure, mint green, tulip yellow, ruby

Next it's the turn of those wonderful hibiscus flowers. Check out those vibrant tones muted down by the addition of a parchment paper strip.

I'm thinking this might just be my new all time favourite Uniko flower, but I can be fickle as I love using them all!

Supplies:
Stamps: Paradise
Inks: Staz On, jet black; SU, cucmber crush, pumpkin pie, wisteria wonder, melon mambo

My next card combines a previously released stamp set that fits the new release like a glove.

A little more research revealed that these birds also come in amazingly stunning colours - how breathtaking it must be to see them in real life!

Having stamped and coloured him in such vibrant colours I couldn't resist giving him the Wink of Stella treatment - he even outshines that flower!

Supplies:
Stamps: Paradis, Paradise Hummingbird & Flower Power #7 for the eye
Inks: Memento, grape jelly, pear tart, lilac posies, tuxedo black
Promarkers: azure, mint green, ivory, pink carnation
Die: MFT Die-namics, Inside/Out Stitched Circles
Wink of Stella

I usually only make three cards for the release, but as we had a little more time this month and I couldn't actually bear to put these stamps away I've a fourth and final card to share today.

Another brightly coloured toucan posing against a jungly background! I used a stencil with rainforesty shades of green and popped it behind a stitched circle die cut. 

And Mr 'Bob' is sitting resplendent surveying his world!

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Paradise & Paradise Leaves
Inks: Su, wild wasabi, cucmber crush, daffodil delight
Promarkers: tulip yellow, leaf green, azure, raw sienna, burnt orange
Die: MFT Die-namics, Inside/Out Stitched Circles
Stencil: TCW, mini webbing
