Uniko - Revists Originally Organics - Giveaway

Hey all, it is revist month at Uniko and we are looking back at the previously released set - Originally Organics.
You all have a wonderful chance to hop and win this lovely set!

I love this set a lot, and I always go for the creepers look for my cards.
I had used used the leaves only here today fort his card. I stamped and colored using the Marsgraphic markers, picking color using a water brush.
Then I used my ScanNcut to cut the leaves. Actually, I am still waiting for the die cuts for this set to arrive, Bev had posted but the mail is taking its own time to get here.

Then I used the flowers from 2 different set background vine additions and some bunny set, to stamp in pink and purple ink, in a scattered way.
I stamped the sentiment in pink and added the panel using a foam adhesive.
The front panel is framed with a textured purple card and added to the base. A few purple jewels to finish off.

For my second card I chose a yellow base, it's bit bright but the weather is so bright here that I might have subconsciously picked it up😉. I had added some horizontal white stripes using a card stock. Here I have used only one set of leaves and flower, and stamped in green and colored using the Marsgraphic markers, and then did partial fussy cutting by drawing a line to guide me.
Colored the flowers using the zig clean color brush and fussy cut to add using foam adhesive.
Stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card, and a few jewels to finish off.

 For my third card I had used white and green bases.
I stamped the image in green distress ink, and used Marspgraphic markers to add color.
Then I used a brick stencil from winnie&walter to lightly sponge using hickory DI. Stamped the sentiment, and few sequins from CrafTangles added to finish off. I had also added glossy accents to the flower buds.

Bold Blooms

Hey all, I hope you all are having a great summer time.
My home is bit laid back with no crafting in many days. My son is sick since weekend, and is still at home. Today I got the call from the school nurse to inquire, as many boys in his grade are sick. I thin the school is trying to understand why so many students fell sick at the same time!
I just have a feeling that it just got spread among the grade.
On the other hand, I have the good news that my darling daughter is free of all the casts and ankle support as well. Yesterday was her first Physiotherapy session , and the doctor has asked her to walk without any support. So I am finally very relieved!

Ok to the card I am sharing today, it is the one which was published in the June issue of the Craft Stamper magazine, and it is finally seeing the light on my blog today!

I had used all Uniko stamps here. I started off with stamping the flowers on water color paper, and used water brush to blend in the ink, and used the same die cut from bold bloomsI to die cut the flowers and leaves.
I used ARTplorations bubble stencil to ink up in Squeezed lemonade shade ink, and also stamped the bottom part with stringed circles from Uniko's round and round set.
I arranged the flowers and leaves on the front and stamped the sentiment on the top, and finished off with a white floss and some jewels.

White on White

Happy Monday everyone, It's June already, and my countdown has begun for the no.of days I need to send lunch to school 😅 Well I need to send for a bit over 10 days. 30th will be the last working day and Report cards day fort this academic year.
I cannot believe that my son will be promoted to grade 12, his final year of school, and daughter to grade 11th, time seems to be flying by!

Anyways, lets move to my card.
I made this inspired by a few challenges.
I had used Altenew's Beautiful day set here.
I had used all white here today, along with the use of a very little color.
I started with Tim Holtz burlap stencil, and embossing paste, I partially added the paste and then sprinkled some glitter over it for some interest. I added some splatters using the Rangers Distress ink - velvet rose
Then I stamped, colored and fussy cut the flower. The leaves are heat embossed on vellum using white EP, and fussy cut to add to the card. The flower is colored with the velvet rose ink.
The sentiment is stamped on white and edged with a black and a glitter pinkish-maroon shade glitter paper.
The flowers and leaves are arranged on the embossed area I created using the paste.
A few jewels added and the front panel is edges with a silver glitter strip on the top and bottom before adding it to the card base.
I hope you like what I did here.

Uniko Challenge - #41 Reminder

Hey all, have you joined us at Uniko Challenge yet? It is a super easy one Masculine with the theme of father's day.

I made a simple birthday themed masculine card.
I chose the sentiment from Birthday blocks, masked it and stamped in black and colored it in Navy, the happy is from the recently released succulents set, and the cupcake is from Celebrate with Cake set.
Used Stamping Up - Bermuda Bay for the sentiment and the cupcake icing.
Once all the stamping was done, I ran the front panel through the big shot using diagonal stripe embossing folder. Then added the fussy cut icing piece on top.
I added wink of stella to the icing, and a few jewels to finish off.

Do stop by the Uniko blog to see more from our DT.

Hope Happens

Hello peeps, I am up with my fourth card using the Inspired by Stamping Free card front.
After printing off the card front, I used the Staedtler Marsgraphic 3000 duo markers to add color with a water brush. Instead  of coloring directly, I rubbed it on the acrylic block and picked color from there with the water brush to add. I simply wanted to have control over the amount of color I was adding.
I have used 2 purple shades, and a yellow zig clean color marker to add the yellow.
Then I added the glitter strips to the BG, and a few black jewels to finish off.

Colorful Butterfly

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I am up with another card with Inspired by Stamping's free card front.
I simply printed it off and colored it using the zig clean color markers, and used a water brush to blend in the colors.
I then added splatters using a distress ink, and then dry embossed the butterfly panel partially from the top, leaving the sentiment part plain.
Added a purple twine, and a few jewels to finish off the card.

Shimmery Sunflower

Hi friends, I hope the week has started on a good note for everyone.
At my end, darling daughter is walking to school without the crutches, she was off cast at home. But she wants to wear it to school for this week. We will be seeing her doctor this weekend and see if he recommends to stop the cast, ans wear the protective ankle brace. She did wear this protective brace and went out with me over the weekend, the good thing is that the brace can be wore with a normal shoe, which would keep her feet at same level.

Ok, lets move to the card.
I have used another free card front  from Inspired By Stamping  Newsletter, Joanna had provided 4 beautiful images as freebies.

This one is a bright and cheery sunflower.
After printing the card front, I used Marsgraphic 3000 duo markers and Faber Castell brush Markers  to color the flower and leaves, also the butterfly. I added wink of stella to the sunflower, and glossy accent to the butterfly, for got to click the picture of the gloss, but its there, trust me 😅
A few jewels and a gold strip at the bottom to finish off.
