I've concentrated today on the Kindness Blooms stamp set and have left the stencil to the experts on the Uniko stencil team. Here's my first card:
It's been a while since I've done any paper piecing so I decided it was time to get out some of those numerous scraps of paper and card I hoard and whizz up this fun card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Kindness Blooms
Ink: Memento, tuxedo black
Papers: scraps from my stash
Embellishments: Bling Bling black gems
My next card uses the same sort of colours, but this time I stamped straight onto the base card and then added a hint of colours to some of the petals.
The little dots and flower middles are from the same stamps set and I used them to give some movement across the card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Kindness Blooms
Ink: Memento, tuxedo black; SU, powder pink, berry burst
Pens: Copic, R32, R35
My last card is a complete change of gear and colours. I prepared a watercoloured background using distress inks and then stamped the flowers on top with the same blue ink.
I then applied watered down bleach to some of the petal segments - gives a fabulous effect, but it's quite noxious and not a technique I'd want to use that often.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Kindness Blooms & Birthday Sentiments
Inks: Ranger distress, mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio; Versamark clear + Ranger superfine white embossing powder
Die: MFT Die-namics, basic stitched edges

ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a stamp set with many uses beautifully showcased by you. I like the paper piecing ides and also your last card with the bleaching effect.
ReplyDeleteFab trio of cards Jane. Must admit the 'expert' was somewhat lacking in inspiration this time!
ReplyDeleteSuper trio of cards. I do like the different ways to use this stamp - the paper pieced flowers are such fun. And I do like the bleach technique - gives a super soft look. My favourite is the CAS pink one - so you! xx
