Day 4 ...... Introducing WILD clear stamp set & Animal Print Stencils

Happy Thursday .......

It's the final day of introductions for the new Uniko release.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing the new stamps and stencils ...... how's the shopping list coming along?

Today we're taking a walk on the wild side so, if you're a bit of a party animal, or you love your animal prints then these could be perfect for you!

The last of the new release stamps ........... Wild 
Another fab little set of words to create your own sentiments (love the little paw print too!)

This goes perfectly longside three more fab new stencil designs ........ Tiger Print

Zebra Print .......

and finally Giraffe Print ..... how cool are these!

It's really quick and easy to create statement cards ........

I simply blended two shades of ink onto a white cardblank, starting from the top and working my way down.

I placed the stencil over the top and used two shades of brown Distress Oxides to add the animal print.

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom .......

and used a gold sparkle pen to colour in the word 'wild'

It really was a hard decision, which of the stencils to use so, why not use all three .....

I die cut three circles ..... coloured one as before using the Tiger print stencil

on one I used the Zebra print ......

and on the last one the Giraffe.

I stamped the sentiment and coloured the word 'wild' using ZIG markers andf then outlined each letter with a Stardust Gel Pen

A few splatters of ink add the finishing touch ......... grrrrrr!!!!

Well that's it, you've seen everything from the new release.

Celebrating another birthday over on the CAS WAtercolour challenge .....

Happy Tuesday .......

I'm playing along with the CAS Watercolour Challenge again today .....

As you can see the theme is ...... Bouquet of Flowers.  
There's also another birthday celebration going on over there ...... it's the lovely Bonnie's birthday today ......

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE!!

I hope you're having a fabulous day

Fingers crossed this is already with Bonnie (if not, it is on it's way!)

I stamped the pretty bunch of flowers onto white cardstock, and heat embossed them in white.

I then used a piece of acetate to smoosh a little bit of blue onto the background, trying not to get any on the flowers.

I used my new Catherine Pooler Mini Ink Pads to water colour the flowers ........ the colours are fab, they stamp beautifully and they work so well with water.  I need to add more to my collection!!
I used quite a bit of water to blend the colours and add shading, causing a little to bleed outside the lines.  I wasn't too bothered about this though, as I think it gives a nice watercolour look.

A few splatters of gold ink, and some dots of glitter glue to add a little sparkle ......

And a die cut sentiment to finish off .......

As I said I hope this has arrived in time.  Have a lovely day Bonnie ......

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheerio until next time ......
