Uniko Challenge #24


Morning friends, it's time to announce the latest challenge at

Uniko
Despite the hit and miss weather in the UK we have a Summer themed 
challenge for you with the optional twist of being inspired by the photo below.

I've gone all out on the colour-mix of pinks, purples and reds using 
the Pure Florals: Chrysanthemums stamp and die set which are 'new'
to me in the last few weeks! So thrilled with this set and it's been on 
my wish list FOREVER but only just come back into stock!



I started by heat embossing the larger floral bloom in Hero Arts white embossing 
powder before blending distress inks over the top in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, 
Festive Berries and Dusty Concord. I did the same with the smaller bloom 
which is then die-cut and adhered to the panel with 3d foam for added dimension. 
The sentiment is from the same set and for a little added interest I've placed a 
strip of silver glitter card above the embossed panel. 


Here's the photo if you are inspired by it and fancy the optional twist!



You have until Friday 4th September to compete and we'll have a little
reminder post and more inspiration for you next Friday.

I hope you feel inspired to join our challenge this month and please head over 
to the Uniko Blog here for some sneaky peeks at what the rest of the Design Team 
have been up to and details of the prizes on offer if you take part.

Have fun and thanks as always for stopping by.
