Hello & Happy Thursday!
Welcome to Day 1 of the 9th Birthday February 2021 Release product introductions. If you missed any of the sneak peeks, you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE. I am kicking off with a highly requested stencil to add to the Uniko Pure Florals line up, the Gerbera!
Pure Florals Gerbera was Uniko's first Pure Florals stamp set and it remains a popular sell out in the shop, hence why it is currently unavailable. Converting the flower to a stencil took a little bit more work, but it was totally worth it and I am over the moon with how it has turned out.
Let's have a look at it in action...
Super clean & simple for my first card today as this Gerbera is born to shine and have full focus! As you can see it is quite a delicate stencil, much like the previously released Uniko
Pure Florals Chrysanthemum Stencil.
To keep some of the detailed parts of the stencil from moving and not needing to use stencil adhesive, I inked from the centre of the flower outwards using my brush. In doing so I achieved a really nice depth to the pink colour with minimal effort!
With Mother's Day fast approaching, I added the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from Simply Said. I was also heavily inspired by Uniko's brand colours.
For my last card today I went a little less clean and simple...
This time I decided to pair the Gerbera with the Large Background French Script to almost create a pretty piece of paper that has been written over the top with fancy handwriting.
I used the same colours to ink my stencil and the same process of inking from the centre outwards to achieve the beautiful depth of pinks.
I thought it would be nice to show you the size of the stencil against my card. It is a 6 x 6 inch stencil, so like the Chrysanthemum it is grand and will take centre stage on your projects. Below is a comparison with the Pure Florals Gerbera stamp! So quite a size difference.
Short and sweet from me today, but I think this Stencil pretty much speaks for itself in its beauty! I'd love to know what your thoughts are regarding the stencil and how you would use it. I might even select a random comment to win a prize.
Don't forget, there is still time to join in on the Birthday Linky Party HERE and also enter to WIN the HUGE Prize HERE!
Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by.
