Uniko 10th Birthday.....

 Uniko is celebrating their 10th Birthday and are having a month long party.
I am joining in with todays card........
Inspired by the colours over at Just Us Girls Teal, Orange & Dark Brown
and using four different stamp sets and one stencil from Uniko ......


I have used Teal coloured sprays for the background.
Because the sprays are re-active I started by using white gesso through the stencil.

Building up the colours with acrylic paints, whilst the stencil was on.
I finished off with stamping the gold petals flying off in the wind,
the gold little circles and the edges of the card.

Because the acrylics are matt and are quite 'flat'
I edged the petals with a gold pen to add a little more 'pop' to the card.
Of course being Lindy's sprays the 'Teal' isn't as pretty in the photos.

I am amazed with all the stormy winds we've been having
that only a few of these petals flew off....lol x.

Happy Anniversary.....

 Wild weather so the only thing to do is stay in and craft!
Today's Card.....


I had some flowers left over after my play day with this previous card.
These where stamped, fussy cut and watercoloured.
I have stencilled with paste and heat foiling and also with grey inks.

I splattered with silver and found it hard to photograph,
as the splats looked horrendous! ....... Although Pretty in real life.
Finishing off with the sentiment and heat embossing
 the edges of the card with silver.
I also made a box as it was for a special Anniversary.

Please stay safe and warm out there....
The strength and the sound of the winds can be quite terrifying.......

Love You .....

Today's card has been inspired by two challenges....Time out and Just Us Girls
Time Out is asking us to CASE My dear friend Michele's card.....
I cannot begin to think I have done her card Justice, as she is a creative genius.


Dies only - no stamping
Shades of one colour mine is green
Sprigs/leaves - No Blooms
Central die cut shape
Tucking my shapes/leaves under the heart and through the mini die cut heart
This is Michele's fabulous card to CASE..........

Putting my own twist to the card I have used some of the die cuts as stencils
and embossing paste behind the die cut leaves and shapes
I have loved combining the two challenges 
and I have loved CASEing Michele's card.............
Thank you for stopping by as I really appreciate it.
Stay warm and safe as there's another storm coming our way.......

Thank you so much Just Us Girls for The Shout Out, Which I really appreciate x.
