Bird of Paradise

Uniko Studio stamps, Brushos


Crafty Creations have 'anything goes'.
The CAS Mix-up want stamping, die-cuts and another.


Plenty of mixed media going on with one of my faves, Brushos,
together with some heat embossing, irridescent Mica powder shine and
another of my favourite 'go-tos' - my stitched square dies.

I've paired the previously released Paradise Hummingbird stamp set with some tropical leaves from the new June release, Paradise:

Tropical Paradise

Welcome to the Uniko June Release Blog Hop.

 

June's release has a distinctly tropical theme to get you in the mood for summer.

(the English weather isn't likely too)

It may be wet and gloomy outdoors but it's bright and sunny here!

Embossed Snowflakes

Uniko Studio stamps, CAS cards, Christmas cards
 
The Uniko challenge for June is a visual one.
And as it's a Christmas card, I'm heading over to Scrappy Mo's for her RudolphDay.
 
 

 

 

The white outline patterns on the coloured backgrounds inspired me this time;

my embossed snowflakes are from the "Stunning Snowflakes" stamp set.

 

What elements of the picture are you drawn to?
There is some lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT over at the main Uniko blog HERE.
As usual, Bev has some great prizes.
So why not get creative and upload your creation?!
Have fun ;).


 

Aloha!

Uniko Stamps, One layer cards

 

Less Is More want to see one layer cards with splatters.

I appear to be in the minority, but I love one layer cards!

Addicted to CAS have the cue card "Aloha".

 

 

A perfect challenge for the newly released Uniko stamp set: Paradise.

A tropically themed stamp set with Toucan, flowers and vegetation.

Nearly the weekend folks!

 

 

Doodled Flowers

Uniko Studio stamps, CAS cards

 

 

The Uniko challenge for June is a visual one.

 

 

I was inspired by the doodled outlines and pulled out my "Fun Flowers" stamp set.

 

What elements of the picture are you drawn to?

Having a lazy Sunday afternoon after a lovely walk this morning with 8 other miniature schnauzer owners.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend

The Uniko challenge this month is a 'masculine' one.
Addicted To Stamps & More have 'anything goes'.
Paper Players have tic-tac-toe (yellow-masculine-embossing),
and the Mixed Media Card Challenge have the cue 'sunset'.
Can you detect a burst of sunset amongst my Brushos background?
 
 

 

A card for my Awesome Dad.

Father's Day will be here before we know it.

 

Flaming June - I don't think so!

Just taken Alfie for a walk in my wellies and big thick coat.

He had a good run around at the park and has come home soaking wet!

Not that it was raining (surprisingly).

Alfie's little legs are only as long as the grass that's in need of a mow,

so his legs and belly get a good soaking whilst scampering around.

 

Off for a hot cup of tea.

England has many good points;

the weather definitely is not one of them.
