Hello there, today I’m sharing a couple of cards using a new to me stamp from Uniko,
Background Blocks Birthday Scramble.
It’s as fabulous as the Christmas one, easy to colour in, paper piece etc.
One of my friends avoids colouring in as she is never happy with the end result,
so these cards are an alternative way to add colour…
Onto the Birthday Scramble stamp, inked in black,
I stamped balloons in shades of greeny blue, (or bluey green 😃),
using Uniko Balloon Bash, layered onto lost lagoon cardstock (SU).
This one I’m taking to the All sorts challenge #849, monochrome or AG
I used Uniko stencil Abstract Triangles to colour this one, using SU inks in blue, green, orange, purple.
The piece of white card I used didn’t quite fit,
so I added a couple of strips of blue and orange top and bottom.
I’m taking this to the Snippets Playground #532
as the white topper was a big scrap, and the strips were skinny scraps!
I often forget to visit My NBUS, where we can share our new stash,
and both the scramble and balloon sets are new, never before used,
so I’m taking this to NBUS challenge #86
Here’s a pic of both….
Allsorts are having a birthday celebration soon….so do share the news..
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments
Take care and see you soon

First of all many thanks for going along with the monochrome theme for the Allsorts challenge by stamping the balloons in that pretty greeny-blue. What a really useful background that is and it also looks great with the pretty and colourful stencilling. Always good to have a versatile stamp in the stash.
ReplyDeleteLooks good in both colourways Lesley and the first perfect for our Allsorts theme, thank you.Might look out this stamps and ideal for masculine cards.
