Hey!
Hooray for Friday! Hooray for more Uniko Studio sneaky peeks of the August release! I hope that you've enjoyed what you've seen so far. All products are available for purchase from Sunday August 11th!
Today's card features the technique of masking. A whole lot of masking. Using a sweet flower from the set Flower Power #3. I love this graphic style little Chysanthemum and I couldn't resist using it to build a pattern.
The sentiment(s) feature from Flower Power #3 too and I love the delicate swirly font - so fun!
- It's really handy to create a few 'masks' of stamps by stamping them on the sticky part of a Post-It note and keeping them safe with your stamp set after using them.
- I originally wanted to stamp the solid image of the flower to create an ombre effect, but the lack of coloured inks in my supply made me change my mind and use markers instead. Stamping the outline flower in a grey ink rather than a black ink, keeps the design soft.
- Mix and match sentiments from the same set to achieve custom sentiment. On this card I used three different sentiments from the same set!
Don't forget there are mystery prizes up for grabs that will be announced on the Uniko Studio blog on August 11th. There are lots of ways to win, by commenting on the blog or a DT member blog during the countdown to release, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by here today. I hope you have a great weekend!

Gorgeous Aimies, love how you used the grey ink to stamp and the subtle build in colour is perfect. Got my London die cuts-made a fun card for a DT in a few weeks-will let you know! x
Gorgeous card! Love the ombre look!
love your masking. so clean and well executed! i should really try to store my stuff better than trying to re-create a mask every time. it's usually so time-consuming so i skip ;) love how you pieced your lil sentiment together!
