Uniko Challenge #56

Good morning ........

Happy Friday to you.
Brrrrr ....... it's a bit chilly this morning.  Time to dig out the winter scarf and gloves I think!

Let's get into that Friday feeling with a Blog Challenge shall we.
It's time for Uniko's last challenge of the year ....... Challenge #56
As you can see from the graphic the theme is Christmas (whoo hoo!! ......that's another card for the festive pile!)  There's an optional twist too ..... Tree (very Christmassy!)

I love decorating the Christmas tree, so I had to go with the twist .........

And why have one tree when you can have three!!

I cut three triangles from green cardstock,  and then used Uniko clear stamps to add the decoration

I heat embossed the outline designs in gold and silver .......

and then used glitter gel pens to add some colour

I've used green card for my trees as I'm a bit of a traditional Christmas girl, but you could used any colour of cardstock ....... blue would look nice, pink for a more contemporary, fun look, or even white on white for a real snowy look.

A few ink splatters in the background and a simple sentiment underneath .......

The tubs for the trees to sit in are just tiny squares of Kraft card, with the sides cut off at a slight angle and then I added a touch of Distress Ink to the edges, to add some shading.

There's a whole load of festive inspiration from more of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors on the Uniko Studio Blog today, along with this month's Guest Designer ...... Nonni (Nonni's Handmade Cards) so be sure to pop by and say Hello!

As its the last Uniko challenge of the year, you get an extra week to play along. 
The challenge ends at midnight (GMT) on December 27th, and the winners will be announced on the Uniko Studio Blog, on Jan 3rd 2020!!!

Happy stamping!

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
I will be back later with a couple more Christmas card ideas ........ the festive mojo is finally kicking in!

Cheerio until then .....
