Friday Focus - Flower Power #5 - #8

Hello & Happy Friday.

Today I am back with another Friday Focus and continuing with the Flower Power Series. If you missed last week you can catch up HERE. 

This week my focus is on Flower Power #5 - #8 seen in the picture below...

And now let's see the new inspiration I've created.

Starting with Flower Power #5, which to me is like a modern and graphic poppy. I went for a duo of peach colours, Grapefruit and Sorbet paired with black making for a striking card.

I decided not to mask the flowers and let them overlap each other. I did however mask my border and then stamped one of the Background Builders Classics strips. My sentiment choice for this card is from Flower Power #6.

This leads me nicely onto Flower Power #6, a beautiful modern 2 step stamping rose. I am super excited that our Birthday Wishes clear stamp set is coming back in stock next week (Tuesday) and so I decided to pair the roses with one of my favourite sentiments from the set.

For the solid layer of the rose I used Ballet Slipper and the detail petals layer I used my favourite Honeysuckle. I did a little masking for the leaves and to layer the bottom two roses. But I let them overlap the sentiment.

My third card for today features the modern daisy flower from Flower Power #7 and I was reminiscing about making daisy chains as a child for this card! 

We're being treated to some wonderful sunshine and hot weather, so my colours reflected this with my choice of Honeysuckle, Buttercup and Oceanside. My sentiment choice is from Flower Power #5 which has a thank you theme.

Lastly, but no means least I have this cute design using Flower Power #8. I actually made this card quite a while ago, but forgot about it until it popped up in my photo memories! 

I love the Flower Power flowers for making clusters of flowers like I have here and even though Flower Power #8 doesn't (currently) have dies to match, this one is fairly easy to fussy cut. You could also use your scan and cut.

I finished the card with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Floral Vines and added enamel dots to the flower centres. 

I've absolutely loved these past two weeks, inking up these clear stamps and playing with different combinations and pairings. AND I can't wait to show you what's coming! I hope you will join us for the usual Uniko Countdown to Release fun.

I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have and thank you for stopping by today.

Birthday Flower Power Flowers & Discount Code.

Happy Sunday!

Today is my birthday and as I turn 22 again 😜 I thought I would share a Flower Power birthday card & and I also have a discount code valid for 24hrs. 

I had so much fun stamping this rainbow of Flower Power #7 flowers and yes, I did fussy cut them out to create a fun cascade down my card front.

The sentiment is a combination of a partial stamp of the HAPPY from You Are Sentiments Outlined, which I have coloured using a black fine liner. The birthday part of the sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments. I adhered both sentiments with foam adhesive. To finish the card I added Dandelion Yellow Nuvo Drops to the centre of the flowers.

Now onto the Birthday discount code...

That's all from me today. I am probably enjoying chocolate Mickey Waffles with The Beans as you read this and then off to a local Titanic exhibit. Oh and there will be cake of course 😂

Flowers, fit for a King!

Happy Saturday! 

How is it a week since the Coronation of King Charles III? Days seem to be flying by this year. I also made todays card inspired by the coronation and colours.

Part of showcasing the versatility of Flower Power Collection this month, I wanted to show how they can be used with lots of other Uniko products. Like I have here pairing the Flower Power #1 solid flower,  the stem and leaves from Flower Power #8 with Background Blocks Scattered Polka Dots. The celebrate sentiment is from Flower Power #2.

Quite a bold colour combo, but I think it really shouts celebration to me! I hope you like it too 😊 Have a lovely Saturday & I'll be back on the blog tomorrow.

Flower Power Mix Up

Hello & Happy Thursday.

How are we almost mid May already? My focus this month, that I mentioned HERE is breathing new life into the Flower Power Collection, so I'm back today with more Flower Power inspiration. 

Today I wanted to show how the stamp sets can be mixed and matched.

Surprisingly I opted for pastel shades for the flowers, Flower Power #8, Flower Power #7 and Flower Power #1 from left to right. The stem is from Flower Power #7.

I decided to keep this card sentiment free and let the flower trio really take the centre stage. I hope you are staying dry in the UK with all these thundery downpours. I've been caught this week, luckily with an umbrella as they always seem to hit during school pick up times!
