Hello everyone!
Today we have our winner of Challenge #11 and Guest Designer Carol from Just Me: c with us to share a reminder project for Challenge #12. Now, you will want to keep reading as Carol has gone ALL out and created a FABulous array of cards to inspire you all...
Hello! Carol here,
from *just me: c* delighted and honoured to be guest designing at Uniko
Studio for the Challenge
#12 'Anything Goes' revisit, which was part of the 'extra' thrill of having my
card selected as the winner of Challenge #11.
Now, for those of you who don't know, our sweet, talented
Bev is 'this close' to becoming a mom: to TWINS.
Specifically, to twin boys!! We can imagine the excitement and
anticipation, not to mention the decorating, baby clothes shopping (x 2) and
over all preparations, that are occurring in her household. Busy and extraordinarily fabulous, joyous
times ahead...guaranteed!
Today, the cards I’m sharing are clear evidence that I was
channeling the "twin' situation, because not only did I create a pair of
cards...I created two pairs of pairs! My first set features the Beautiful Blooms, which I'm totally smitten with (yes, I
use them often!!), but this is the first time I've stamped them with distress
inks: two shades of yellow and pink for the flowers and one for the leaves. I
coloured the images, gave them a huff and a puff, stamped them on water-colour
paper - which gives them an interesting texture - die cut them, added a
sentiment, placed on a kraft background (the distress inks 'popped' more on
this rather than on white) and voila...two cards in fairly short order.
The second set sent me to some of my other
Uniko favourites, which are perfect for sweet little CAS creations:
The A Gift For You present is stamped in
black; the ribbon stamped in Delicata gold, and over-stamped with the outline
image in black, fussy cut and popped up on foam bits. A couple of wee
sequin stamps, a sentiment from the same set and a gold foil 'wavy' background
rounds out this little number. The second is from Peace on Earth: the bough and sentiment are stamped in
Delicata gold; the dove in black, the wee berries in yummy SU Real Red. Add
some red foil background...done!
I hope you enjoyed my Uniko inspired creations and that
you'll join in on Challenge #12 with your own Anything Goes dazzles and
delights. For more inspiration, check out the entries already posted; much
