Happy Weekend.
Today I am off south with Uniko for Stamperama Bracknell, the show is tomorrow and I am super excited to be going somewhere new.
In between show prep and restocks arriving, I still managed to squeeze in a little creative time. On Thursday I shared a card on the Seven Hills Crafts blog HERE and seen below using the Kristina Werner Merry Trees, yes, I am doing Christmas in July over there too!
I stencilled the background, but wanted to add a sentiment. So I decided to add a vellum panel to do that. It adds a wonderful frosted feel to the card and perfect to stamp a gold heat embossed sentiment.
Anyway, I thought I would replicate the look with Uniko products and this is how it turned out...
I decided to use Background Builders Christmas 2018 and stamped the line of trees in black ink up my card panel. I then coloured the trees with a Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blend. For the sentiment I used the popular Christmas Wishes and added a few Poppy enamel dots to finish.
I love how you can use the same layout and similar supplies, but achieve different looks. Well, that's two more Christmas cards added to my stash.
That's all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share.
