April 2014 BONUS Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

Welcome to the April 2014 Release BONUS Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY! If you've been following events here at Uniko Studio you may remember that there were a few hiccups along the way for the April Release & my fabulous design team didn't get their goodies in time :( So, I thought it would be nice to have another Design Team Blog Hop to celebrate the release AND also welcome our newest addition to the team... N@ Ali.

So how about a couple of cards (I apologise in advance for the poor quality photos, the weather here has been so dull, rainy & overcast I had to resort to the false light in the bathroom!)...




I decided to focus my attention onto Flower Power #4 as it has been some what out shadowed here on the blog by Background Builders: Vines! Also I know that the Design Team have an array of FABulous creations to show you using the Background Builders: Vines set. For both my cards I needed a mojo spark and decided to use the current Color Throwdown colours seen HERE and below. A trio of colours I wouldn't normal grab from my supplies.




And another giving the same set some love...




And seeing as it's a Design Team Blog Hop how about some inspiration from the FABulous Design Team:



How about a GIVEAWAY...? 

Simply comment along the hop for the chance to win the April Release (Background Builders: Vines & Flower Power #4) or a Gift Certificate to the same value if you already own them. If you comment on each of the blogs listed that'll give you 8 entries & chances to win. You have until Midnight Wednesday 30th April to comment and I will announce the winner here on the blog Thursday 1st May.

Happy Hopping!

  5. Background builder vines is stunning. But I love the flower power set. I have the other 3 in the series and I love the way you can combine the images and sentiments. Lovely cards, like the button centres.

  6. Flower Power sets are sooo delightful and versatile, and this new little number is a stunning addition! Your cards here are gorgeous, and you've worked magic with the colour combination! Oh, the dreary, overcast days - I can relate. We're under yet another snowfall warning for the weekend (which does have its perks: staying inside, crafting away....). Off to hop....thank you for starting my day with a smile! Hugs~c
