Time is running!

It's already two weeks since we started the July/August 2019 Challenge on the Uniko Blog! So it's time to write a little reminder for you - just in case you havn't played there yet!

The wonderfully popular theme for this Challenge is FLOWERS. 
If you want, you can add the optional twist of DIE CUT to your design.

• Email entries are welcome, just email a photo of your card to bev@uniko.co.uk and she will add it to the Uniko Flickr gallery and link up!

I also have some details of the possible PRIZES:

I created a CAS card with some abstract fun-coloured flowers.
Unfortunately I havn't a Banner-Die in the size of my sentiment, so I skipped the optional twist and cut it with a ruler and a craft-knife (maybe a bit old-fashioned, but this is always working!).

The steps to create a card like this one are so easy and quick done!

• I stamped the big orange halos with Versamark and added the embossing powder, then melted it.
• I stamped the sentiment and the little flowers also with Versamark, melted them and cut them out.
• Covered the flowers with masking paper, and stamped the pinstripe with black ink. A stamping tool is a big help here, if the first impression isn't as settled as you want i - you can easily stamp again on the same spot.
• Adheres the little flowers flat on the striped background in between the bigger flowers.
  Folded the banner and adhered it with dimensional foam tape on the card.
• To give the glowers a little bit of special extra I added Nuvo Drops to their centers.

Yes, I love Passifloras! I have one in my living room for several years now. and it amazes me every time when it starts to bloom! The assymetric stamen and stigmata  show how special thiese flowers are!

Last summer I was so happy when I saw one growing along the wooden fence of our neighbours (I had no idea they can survive outside here in our colder climate!)
