Seven Hills - Uniko Mash-up Day 1

Seven Hills - Uniko Mash-up Day 1

For those of you who don't know, Bev, one of our brilliant DT members, also owns her very own paper crafts store where she designs and makes her own stamps and stencils - Uniko - and Uniko is 13 this month!   So, Bev and I are sharing a SHC-Uniko mash-up on the blog for a couple of days to celebrate this birthday milestone.

I'm going first and I've made a masculine birthday card using one of my all-time favourite Uniko Stamps - Bauhaus Blocks which is brilliant for anyone who is a fan of mid-century graphic design.

To give my card a masculine feel, I decided to stamp the blocks onto black mixed media card which is robust enough to take water but smooth enough for embossing.  I embossed the stamp in white and then used my LuminArte shimmer watercolour paints to fill in the blocks.  Shimmer paints give such different colours on black than on white - the purple is actually a light blue!  I love the results you get on black.

To create the card I trimmed the blocks, added 4 directly to the card and popped one up in the middle on foam tape for added dimension.   The sentiment is where the SHC mash-up comes in, as that set is a Kristina Werner one packed full of useful birthday sentiments.

 

Bev has some great birthday offers on this month so do go check out her store if you haven't so far, and check back tomorrow to see her mash-up!
