Uniko Challenge #50 .........

Happy Friday .......

I can't believe we're on the last day of November ..... only 24 days to go until Christmas!!  Are you all ready for the big day?  No ...... Me neither!

Let's see November out with a little reminder about the latest Uniko Challenge.
It's Challenge #50 and the theme is ......... Celebrate


As you can see from the gorgeous inspiration photo there's an optional twist too ........ GOLD.  Perfect for this time of year.  In fact looking at the photo now, I'm thinking New Years Eve and parties ...... but hey! let's not get ahead of ourselves shall we ...... it's not quite December yet.

I'm still making Christmas cards ........ and I've a few more to go yet.  Here's one based on this month's challenge ......


I've taken some of the colours and added in the optional twist with a touch of gold heat embossing


The sentiment is from the Uniko Festive Sentiments set ..... I love the two different fonts that are in these stamps and there's so many sayings that you an create.

The set with the snowflakes in, is unfortunately out of stock on the website at the moment ....... BIG & BOLD Snow .......  I'm sure it'll be back on there soon though.

I simply stamped the snowflakes in various inks ...... blue, gold, silver


and also heat embossed some using gold, white and a clear sparkle powder.

A few dots of glitter glue, and a little Distress Ink brushed around the edge, and we're done


You have until midnight (GMT) on Friday December 21st to play along, so lots of time to join in the fun.
Check out the Uniko Blog for full challenge details, and also more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.
We're off out with a group of friends this evening.  A few weeks ago Chris started a new job.  He's left the brewery and is now Bar Manager at a large Thai restaurant in Douglas, so we're going to check it out.  Surprisingly we haven't been before ..... we've tasted their street food at the Food Festivals which was delicious, but we've never actually been to the restaurant.  Could this become a new favourite perhaps!

Cheerio until next time ....... see you in December!

I never noticed the blue turquoise glimmers in the photo before! Great take on the photo - you’re obviously more observant than me! Xx
