Two For Tuesday & WINNERS

Happy Tuesday.

Today is a good day, Spring is in the air, the sun is shining and I have a whole host of winners. But, before I get to the winners I have a couple of cards to share.

Last week I had a lot of fun inking up the newest Ink & Flip Stencil - Layering Retro Flowers in some fun retro inspired colours. I then fussy cut the flowers out and created these two cards.

I cam across THIS card I made many years ago when Birthday Wishes was released. I liked the sentiment framing idea so used that as my inspiration for this card. Some of the flowers are adhered onto my card base using double sided tape and some I have given a little dimension by using foam tape. 

The tiny trio of dots in the centre of the flowers is achieved using an accent stamp from Organic Blooms. This was such a quick card once I had a bunch of fussy cut flowers! 

For my second card today I went with another layout I have used before HERE. I often re-use card layouts as I think it's a good way to get creative if you don't know where to start or you're in a creative slump. 

I used another of the sentiments from Birthday Wishes and this time cascaded the flowers down the card. Again, some are adhered using double sided tape, and some using foam tape. 

I then remembered this little stamp from Balloon Bash that has a trio of tiny flowers. I stamped this along the cascade in Pimento ink and added a little black dot to the centre of each to tie in with the stencilled flowers. 

Such a fun stencil and so many different ways to use the flowers and pairings with previously released Uniko stamps too. Amazingly this stencil is still in-stock, along with all the release bar the Background Blocks Birthday Scramble. This should be back in the next week or so. 

NOW, onto the winners. 

Firstly I apologise for my lateness in announcing a few of these, I seem to have a bit of memory loss these days 🙈

Next up is a new Layering Stencil, Retro Rainbow. I love the previously released Stencil - Layering Retro Lines and I was able to achieve some of the rainbows I wanted, but this stencil just had to be done.

This next stamp partly came about because of the stencil above, but the idea was also suggested to me by a customer and I loved the idea and as you know, I love rainbows.
