Love your pretty butterfly border, especially its placement. I, too, especially like the art deco inspired hummingbird, and slim rectangle cutout really complements the card design.

Simply FABulous!

Hey!

WOW! What a release that was. Did you all enjoy the blog hop yesterday? I sure did and didn't the Design Team & Guest Designer do well & showcased the new sets FABulously! If you missed the fun yesterday you can catch up HERE and there is still time to hop & comment along to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release! 

Ok, I've a few more cards to share with you today using the NEW goodies along with some old. First up is a card which was partly inspired by THIS tag Ren-Yi shared when introducing Flower Power #5. I simply loved how she had used the flower centre stamps to create a underwater background.




On my card I have used the same stamps in a more CAS way! I used Memento Luxe Dandelion (Finally got my hands on some Memento Luxe from The Paperlane at the weekend and all I can say is they're LUSH!) and VersaMagic Turquoise Gem.




I then stamped the 'Fabulous' from All Occasion Sentiments #3 and used Classic Alphabet to stamp the YOU. I then stamped the small solid butterfly from English Country Garden - Butterflies in Memento Luxe Rose Bud, let it dry and over stamped & embossed the small outline butterfly in white. 

Next up I decided to use the Paradise - Hummingbird set to create a card...




I've had this idea of colouring the hummingbird with glitter in my head since I designed the set & finally I put it into action! I used the current Uniko Studio Challenge colours seen HERE for inspiration. 




There is still time to join in on the challenge, you can enter more than once & email entries are accepted. Just send me a photo of your creation to beverley@unikostudio.com Don't forget that the recent Super FREE Saturday available HERE uses the challenge colours and there is a £10 Gift Certificate to spend in store for the winner! 

Ok, that's all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by & for all your lovely comments :)

Supplies
Card Stock: White (Boyes)
Ink: Memento Luxe Dandelion & Rose Bud. VersaMagic Turquoise Gem. VersaFine Onyx Black. VersaMark

June 2014 Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY!

Hey & SUPER Happy Wednesday!

The day is finally here & I get to reveal the four new products lining the Uniko Studio HQ shelves in their entirety. If you've been joining in on the fun since the Sneak Peeks you might want to check HERE to see if you are a mystery prize winner! 

Now grab a drink & let's get to the fun and see these new clear stamp sets in full...



Classic Alphabe9 £4.95
Copyright Uniko Studio 2014

First up is Classic Alphabet, which is exactly what the name of the set says, a versatile classic alphabet with 3 little monogram frames.

The next product has to be one my all time FAVES, mainly because I am a sucker for butterflies!



English Country Garden - Butterflies £4.95
Copyright Uniko Studio 2014

This set features a large butterfly which is easily coloured, even if you're not hot on colouring like me! Then there are two smaller butterflies and a perfectly fitting sentiment.

Next up is Flower Power #5, the next in the Flower Power Series. As you can see the set features a 2 step stamping flower and thank you themed sentiments. There were a lot of you that guessed correctly and if you recognise the flower it's because it's a larger version of one of the flowers contained in Background Builders:Vines.



Flower Power #5 £4.95

Lastly but no means least we have the fourth clear stamp set being released...



Paradise - Hummingbird £4.95

This set features an elegant hummingbird and floral elements with an Art Deco feel to them. There are also a couple of sentiments in a lovely handwritten calligraphy font.

Ok, now all the formal introductions have been done, I have a card using one of the new sets...




On this card I have combined the solid bloom from Flower Power #5 with Background Builders: Vines and a sentiment from A Gift For You and the leaves from Natures Treasures I.

 As a reminder this was the little sneak peek you got the other day...




And here is the card I've created using the set...




I started out by masking out a rectangle & sponged the trio of coloured inks to create a tropical background. The hummingbird and sentiment are then embossed in black.




I love the black embossing powder from Stampin' Up! it has a really nice sheen to it :) 

That's all I have for you today, but how about some inspiration from the FABulous Design Team and our Guest Designer this month Lynn from the Mango Boys & Me:

Introducing... Flower Power #5

Hey!

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's product introduction, didn't the DT and Guest Designers Lynn & Kerry do a FABulous job? So I am back today with the next product introduction and this was the little sneak peek you got the other day...




There is really no guessing with this set, as those who have been Uniko Fans for a while can spot a new Flower Power set a mile off! Anyway, so I've taken the guess work out of the equation, but do you recognise the flower???

How about a sample or two using this set...




I've used both the solid & linear flower heads contained in the set paired with the collection of dots  stamp from Background Builders: Vines a sentiment from Paradise - Hummingbird and a leaf from Natures Treasures I.




That's all I have for you today, but how about some inspiration from the FABulous Design Team and our Guest Designer this month Lynn from the Mango Boys & Me:
