I’m happy to be here today for AAA Cards Game #84 – Watercolor.

Thank you to our sponsor: Uniko

Prize – the winners choice of an in-stock stamp set

Here’s my card: I used a stamp set from Uniko, Background Builders: Squared. I used the emboss-resist technique. I did some heat embossing (one of my favorite techniques, using one of favorite tools) and then watercolored in some different blue, greens and purples. I did some additional masking and added an ombré line of color along either side of the squares.I stamped the sentiment and then attached the panel to a blue card base.

I hope that you have been inspired to play along with us this game. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members blogs.

Hi! Today I’m back as a Guest Designer with a reminder post to encourage you to play along over at Uniko Studio’s June Challenge!

This month’s challenge is Anything Goes- with the optional twist of a masculine card. I did some masking and ink blending to make this, a masculine one layer card.

I used a couple of Uniko’s super and free digi stamps to make this card. I made two other similar cards as well.

I also made a couple of feminine cards for this reminder too! I used Uniko’s English Country Garden – Butterflies. Uniko’s new website is looking really cool. You should go check it out!

For both of my butterfly cards I heat embossed onto SU! vellum with clear embossing powder. I’m going to play this over at SSS Wednesday’s: Anything Goes.

Here is my second butterfly card.

I used the photo below as inspiration for my purple card.

I used a watercolor smooshing technique for both of these cards and then used my heat tool to dry the vellum. This was a bit tricky, but if you are careful you can straighten the vellum out, not re-melt the embossing powder and get a nice result!

And just when I thought I was finished with this Guest Designer post…….

look what was in my mailbox last night! Royal Mail! 🙂

Oh my!

So, you know I had to make a quick card this morning and add it to this post. The stamp set was just screaming, “Masculine card awaiting!”

So here it is.

I stamped in VersaMark, heat embossed in black, sponged on SU! Pacific Point, added the white gel pen outlines and the PTI “Thanks” sentiment. I look forward to much more stamping fun with this set!
