Just a very quick post from me today, to share a card I made for the Uniko 10th birthday celebrations "Quest 6" which was to share a card made with Uniko products on Instagram, with the hashtag #Uniko10. I have shared this card on Instagram (even though I'm pretty clueless when it comes to that!) but am also sharing it here to enter a few challenges.
As mentioned on a previous post I currently only own one set of Uniko stamps which are sentiments, however Bev has kindly allowed people to use some free digi downloads to make cards with for her birthday challenges. I love snowdrops so have used this one from "Spring Botanicals".
I inked up an acrylic block with Distress Oxide ink and spritzed with water then stamped directly onto my card base; then spattered a second colour onto the acrylic block and stamped again. I coloured my snowdrop image with Promarkers, fussy cut and adhered on top of the inked panel. I finished with my sentiment stamped in VFC "Morning Mist" as it is less harsh than black, a few more spatters, gems and a little fine liner doodling.
Stamps: Uniko Spring Botanicals - Snowdrop (digi), Birthday Sentiments;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio); Promarkers; Versafine Clar (Morning Mist); dark grey fineliner;
Gems from my stash.

A sweet card Pauline, beautifully clean and simple in it's design but with a big impact using the bold sentiment stamp. All our snowdrops are out in the garden at the moment and what a lovely sight they are too.

Very pretty in the soft colours Pauline, I too love Snowdrops but find them so hard to use in crafting given they are white, usually end up covered in glitter.

Really pretty card. The block stamping is very effective and the splatters finish off nicely. Thanks for sharing with us at Less is More.
Such a beautiful use of the Uniko's digital stamp ! Gorgeous sponged background to ground these pretty snowdrops. And I LOVE your fine liner doodling to frame the whole image. Absolutely beautiful CAS card. Thanks so much for sharing at ATSM and at Uniko.
Hello Pauline: I love Snow Drops, they are some of the most delicate and sweet little flowers and you created this beautiful card with this lovely image.
