Introducing: Flower Power #3 (Uniko Studios August Release)

Hope you've got lots of time today - I made 4 cards for the introduction of the new Uniko Studio Flower Power #3 set!




The first card uses the solid image of the flower (and solid leaves from Flower Power #1 - isn't it great how all these sets work so well together?!). I stamped everything in bright summery colours and then went back in with Copics to create highlights and shading for more depth.


This second card is a CASE of a card by fellow Muse DT memberMarion Vagg. I love how the copic shading on the coloured cardstock really makes the image pop!



Next up, a simple sort-of-pattern using the little 3 heart stamp and one of the sentiments. I was inspired by this week's Dynamic Duos colours - Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight (I used Marigold Morning). I'm too late to link up, but I still love how they look together!




Finally, one for the boys. I love to look at the stamps themselves and turn them around to see what else we can make with them. When I flipped these flowers over, I saw 'Raggedy Ann' hair. I stamped it and created a face by tracing an oval nestability with a Copic Multiliner, added ears, eyes and a mouth (courtesy of The Stamps of Life). I love how he turned out!

If you didn't come here via the blog hop, don't forget that the whole DT has more inspiration for you:

and  August Guest Designer: Ardyth (that's me)!

Tomorrow we're introducing dies that coordinate with Uniko's very first stamp set!

  25. Wow, I thought the first card was absolute perfection, and then the second one blew my socks off! It's a amazing how much punch a tone on tone project han have, especially with a touch of white or black as a highlight.
