Uniko Challenge #48~"It's so much more friendly with two." A.A. Milne (Optional twist: FOR A CHILD)

Hello,

Welcome to Uniko Studio July/August Challenge #48, where we have this heart-warming quote by A.A. Milne, of Winnie-the-Pooh fame, to inspire you:

"It's so much more friendly with two."

One of my favourites and oh-so-true! Naturally, the idea of 'two' will come to mind, BUT remember: these sweet words come from a childhood (and adulthood *grin*) favourite character, so we're offering the optional twist: FOR A CHILD. Doors of possibility full-on open! Of course, we also have an adorable pair of ladybugs to spark your creativity, too...

We're also thrilled to welcome our marvelous talented, ultra sweet Guest Designer - Trina P, from My Crafting Closet - to the challenge. You will LOVE her card!

Two cards from me (following the quotation to the word *grin*)! First, I played with the optional twist: a card to celebrate a kid's accomplishments in true "Explosion" style! I simply adore these sets! I even 'snuck' in the colours and 'spots' from the photo...


My second card focuses on the 'two' theme: a duo from Pure Florals Rose, coloured with two mediums (ink and prismacolour pencils) and paired with a 'couple' sentiment...


Please visit the designer team members who are launching this challenge; the rest will feature reminder cards soon:


As always, our sweet Bev has plenty of incentives for you to play along, which include PRIZES!
  • Main Winner Chosen By the DT - £25 eGift Certificate
  • Random Twist Winner - £4 In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing
  • Random Uniko Stamps Winner - £4 In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing

You have plenty of time to play along with this challenge. The deadline for submission is midnight (GMT) on Friday 24th August 2018 (7.00pm EDT).  

See you in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

The first card sure packs a big punch, in a wonderfully good way, to celebrate a child's accomplishment (or an adult's as you say). Bright and fabulous. The second card also packs a punch with it beautiful colors and big, bold roses. Wonderful work on both, my friend! Hugs! :)

Two super makes for the challenge, Carol! The first one packs a punch! I only have one of the sets... hoping to complete my set one day. Your second card is so pretty. Awesome use of all the different parts of the challenge. xx
