Uniko Birthday

Today I'm joining the 10 year celebration of Uniko

I used my Stamparatus so I could hold the work down with a magnet,

then using small brushes inked some bright colours through their stencil,

and I masked off a few parts as I just wanted to use part of it.

I then wanted to scatter some enamel dots for interest, 

but instead used them as part of the design 

and to hide some places where ink had crept under and blurred the lines.

It's not my best inking effort, but I was still pleased with the result.

I finished with a bold Uniko sentiment

I also noticed a new challenge at Freshly made sketches

this gave me the idea for my NeverBeforeUsed Uniko stencil, so I'm also joining in 

NBUS Challenge #35

And because I decided to get inky I'm entering 

HLS February CAS Challenge

Scored! with a stencil

Hi there

here's a card I created for a special lad growing up fast.

It came about when I was sorting some old stash and found some stencils.

I thought it would be fun to try something different.

I used a blending brush and two inks to add some shading,

then overstamped the image.

I particularly like the Biggest Wish set, that you can mix and match.

it has some fab fonts.

I went a bit mad inside the card too, but it's all simple stamping and one layer,

not something I do that often

Thanks for stopping by

Lesley

Embossing Paste through a Stencil

I love the Stampin' Up Embossing Paste,

it's so easy to use, 

and there's some new ones available shortly,

shimmery white and silver.

Here's a card using inks to dye the paste,

which is spread through a stencil.

It adds lovely dimension and texture

So, Dare to Dream......

tick tock

I was lucky to have Sarn to play one day, and she lent me her stencil to ink through,

which I then put to one side.

Later I added some stamping and embossing powder,

I wanted to keep it flat for posting,

but I really think I should have matted and layered it.

Pictogram Punches

I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator,

because I get to see and order products before they go public,

and I get chance to earn lots of extras to feed my 'habit'!

Here's my first order from the new Annual Catalogue

I was feeling a bit blue, but this arrived to cheer me up!

Thank you to all of my lovely loyal friends and customers and blog followers:

That sentiment says it all.

I sent this card to a special someone who was there when I needed her.

It was a great opportunity to try out a new stamp set!

Pictogram Punches.

The background was inked through one of our new Stencils!

Check out all the other goodies by going to my

Shop Now button top right.

Hope alls well with you
