Uniko's Customer Top 10 of 2023 - Number 8

Happy Christmas Eve! 

Are you all set for 🎅🏻 I think we are almost sorted. Today is also my father in laws birthday, so it is celebrations all round. Anyway, I'm back today with Uniko's Customer Top 10 of 2023 - Number 8. If you missed what it's all about, then check my post HERE.

Today we head to the 1920's Art Deco era with Background Blocks Arts Decoratifs being the 8th most purchased clear stamp in 2023.

This Background Block made its debut in February 2020 with a Christmas version being added to the collection in July of this year. The Art Deco style remains a popular trend with its beautiful geometric lines lending themselves wonderfully to masculine makes. 

Today I decided to put a floral spin on this block and paired it with an all time favourite flower, Pure Florals Gerbera.

I usually like to add colour to the block, but today I decided to keep it black and white. I stamped the block and then decided to change the size of my card, so I simply trimmed the block out and adhered it to my 12.5 cm square card panel.

For a quick colour option I used the solid bloom from Pure Florals Gerbera and used a dauber to blend the colours from Buttercup, Sorbet in the centre to Honeysuckle and Dragonfruit to the flower petals.

This series is a good opportunity for me to make a start on my birthday cards for 2024, so I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment from Simply Said.

Thank you for stopping by & enjoy the inspiration during this often busy period. Remember it's okay to take time for you. I have certainly enjoyed the small crafty break away from the chaos and over excitement there is in the house today!
