We're kicking the weekend off here at Uniko Studio HQ with the first of the product introductions for the February Release - YAY! If you missed the Sneak Peeks yesterday, you can catch up on them HERE.
Today I am introducing a new little set called Explosion. It all came about from my love of all things Pop Art and the cards I am sharing today reflect that love...
You've gotta love a bit of neon, right? I started out by stamping the explosion & sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink so that I could use my neon Copic markers to flat colour the image. I just LOVE how vibrant this card is & it's perfect for a guy card!
Toning down ever so slightly from the neons, I created another card...
I did say 'ever so slightly'! I've kept with a bright pallet for this card and combined Background Builders: Round In Circles with the set to create the ombre polka dot background. I started out by stamping the explosion in VersaMagic Red Magic onto white card and trimmed it out leaving a border. I then stamped the sentiment and exclamation mark and used a yellow marker to colour it in.
I then adhered the explosion onto some black card and again fussy cut around leaving a small border. The Happy Birthday sentiment is a little peek from another set being introduced on Monday.
So, what do you think? Do you like what you've seen so far?? I'd love to know ;) I've a couple of the DT joining me with the introductions today, along with our Guest Designer this month Rebecca from Mellymoo Papercrafting. Be sure to stop by their blogs for more inspiration using this set...
Don't forget that over the next few days up until Release Day I will be picking some random lucky winners for prizes! There are lots of ways to be in the chance of being picked a winner, following & commenting here on the blog, DT & Guest Designer Blogs, Facebook, Pinterest to name but a few. Winners will be announced on the blog Feb 11th before the Release & Reveal post.
NOW, if that wasn't enough excitement, I have another HUGE announcement to make, incase you missed it on Facebook last night. I am beyond thrilled and super excited to confirm that from the 11th February i {heart} papers in the USA will be stocking a selection of Uniko Studio goodies along with the NEW release!!! YAY! Lots of happy dancing :)
Thats all I have to share for today, I do hope you will pop back tomorrow for the next product introduction. Until then, thank you for stopping by today :)
