Uniko January 2020 Release in Review Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello,

Welcome to Uniko's January 2020 Release in Review Blog Hop & Giveaway!

The release launched two weeks ago; however, at that time several of the team were late in receiving products. Even though we're fairly confident that the products and inspiration are still fresh in your mind, we've decided to have another go-round with the new goodies...just in case!

My package is due to arrive either today or tomorrow, so my cards will feature those I showcased earlier: Background Blocks - Scattered Hearts and Sentiments Outlined - You Are.

My first card is simple repetitive stamping in shades of pink/red/blush of one of the sweet You are sentiments, then cut with a series of heart dies and re-stacked.


For the second card, I stamped the Scattered Hearts in red, then offset them 1/2 a heart width to the left and right, stamping with lighter inks. Really simple with the help of my Misti, although perhaps I should have used black as one of the colours. The photo (or perhaps the photographer *grin*) makes the hearts appear out-of-focus, but in real life, they're visible and crisp.  Still, I like the palette - it's all 'Valentine-y'!  If you look closely (but not too closely as you're likely to see flaws!), "Love" is die cut/stacked into the background and, in turn, serves as the base for the sentiment from Simply Said.


Be sure to comment on all the Brand Ambassador blogs for your chance to win the Hello, Lovely and You Are sets!

Here's the hop list:
Carol  - you are here

You have until Midnight Thursday 6th February 2020 to leave a comment and the random winner will be announced Friday 7th February 2020.

Thank you for dropping by!

I love the way you repetitively stamped the heart background on the second card it reminds me of a 3d picture.

Lovely cards Carol and a very 3D look with your repetitive stamping.

I love the way you've made the background on the second card, it looks so dimensional and almost as if it is moving. Two gorgeous cards.

Your repetitive stamping is spot on, Carol. I must admit I did think I was seeing double on the second card but I just had an eye exam Wednesday and know my vision is fine.
