Get Well Wishes

I've been having a play with my new Uniko Flower Power stamps and made this Get Well card for a friend who's not feeling too good at the moment.  These Flower Power stamps are currently my favourite stamps as they suit my CAS style - the sentiment stamps also stamp really well, even on hammer card.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
     Uniko 'Flower Power #4' & 'Flower Power #6' stamps & coordinating dies
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Vintage Sepia, Olympia Green and Habanero ink
     Snippets of white hammer card and white matt card

I green ink to stamp the leaves onto a snippet of white matt card and cut them with the coordinating die.  I used brown ink to stamp the flower outline onto another snippet of white matt card and then stamped the solid flower onto the top with orange ink, before cutting the flower with the coordinating die.  I die cut a snippet of white hammer card with the largest stitched rectangle die and placed it into my MISTI.  I placed the sentiment along the lower edge of the panel and the flower outline in the top corner before stamping them with brown ink.  The panel was then attached to the front of the card blank.  I attached the leaves to the card and then used a foam pad to attach the flower.

Have a Wonderful Birthday

I made this card for the Uniko 13th Birthday Celebrations challenge using my new Uniko stencil and stamp set.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Sentiments Outlined' stamp
     Uniko 'Ink & Flip Geometric Butterfly Layering Stencil'
     Distress Inks - Seedless Preserves and Spiced Marmalade
     Versafine Imperial Purple ink
     Bruynzeel orange pencil
     Snippets of white matt card

I used Seedless Preserves ink to stencil the butterfly onto a snippet of white card.  I cleaned the stencil and flipped it to stencil it again with Spiced Marmalade.  I then fussy cut the butterfly.  I trimmed another snippet of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and put it into my MISTI.  I placed the butterfly onto the panel so I could see where to position the sentiment.  I removed the butterfly and stamped the sentiment in purple ink before colouring it with an orange pencil.  I attached the panel to the front of the card blank before attaching the butterfly along the body and slightly shaping the wings.

     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
