Simple Stamping and Stenciling~Uniko Studio DT Inspiration

Hello,

Carol here, 'giving some love' to a variety of my Uniko stamps and stencils today; hopefully, my trio will make you smile and, perhaps, even offer a bit of inspiration (which would thrill me to bits and pieces!).  Nothing super-duper fancy, as you'll see; rather, just a whole lot of inking, a bit of dry embossing and a curved panel die cut.  Clean and simple; the kind of card to make when time is at a premium.

As all three share the same design, I'll just dive in with the basic ingredients and 'how-to'...

Card 1

Lower panel: base of Tattered Rose Distress Oxide 

(I used Bristol cardstock for this section; Michael's heavy weight cardstock for the top portion)

Stencil: Nature's Treasures II; Tea Dye Distress Oxide

Stamp: English Country Garden: Butterflies

Sentiment:  Simply Said

Card 2

Lower panel: dry embossed (hard to see in the photo, but definitely there)

Stencil: Fun Flower

Stamp: Fun Flower; stenciled with Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide; leaves with Versafine Clair)

Sentiment:  Simply Said

 Card 3

Lower panel: base of Distress Oxides - Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire

Stencil: Let It Snow; Stormy Sky Distress Oxide

Stamp: Stunning Snowflakes; various ME pigment inks (I love pigment inks...just sayin')

Sentiment:  Simply Said; and 'Winter' from Stunning Snowflakes

So...I'm ready with two birthday cards and one 'just because'! Easy to recreate! If you decide to give these techniques/styles a go, do let me know! I'm always on the lookout for dazzling inspiration and ways to elevate the way I use my Uniko stamps, stencils and dies!

Have a wonderful day!!
