* Nachdem ich die Bilder schon gemacht und bearbeitet hatte, fiel mir auf, dass ich die oberen Ecken der Karte noch runden wollte! Ich hab von der fertigen Karte nochmal ein Bild gemacht, wollte jedoch nicht noch mehr Bilder noch einmal neu bearbeiten...

* After I made and edit the pictures I recognized I forgot to round the top corners of the cardfront!
I took another picture of the card, but didn't want to edit all pictures again...

K1-1630 - Roaring Time / Uniko Intro-Day #1-2

Für meine zweite Karte habe ich diesen Retro-Design Hintergrund mit der "MOD Background Builder" Stencil gestaltet.

Passend dazu einen Spruch aus dem Set "Anniversaire Arts Décoatifs" ausgewählt, der auf die "wilden" Zeiten von damals abzielt.
Das Textfeld hat einen handgezeichneten Rahmen bekommen - ähnlich den Rändern des Musters. Ebenfalls ähnlich zum Muster hab ich sowohl die Ecken des Feldes als auch der Kartenbasis passend mit dem Eckenrunder gerundet.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

For my second card I designed a retro-style background with the "MOD Background Builder" Stencil.

I've choosen a fitting sentiment of the set "Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs" which points the "wild" times back at that time.
The sentiment area got a hand drawn frame, similar to the edges of the pattern.
Also similar to the pattern I rounded the corners of this area as well as all corners of the card base.

K1-1317 - 29 again?

This is an almost black'n'white OLC card, with just a bit of silver lining and sparkle.
I free-hand-doodled more or less straight lines with black markers in different sizes and a silver rollerball in the fields. To make the image fit to the sentiment, I added an extra line to create a 29th field (in the center of the right area).

I think, this card is perfect for a male bithday, for someone who keeps staying young at heart (although the ID card suggests something different...).

K1-1316 - Happy Birthday

The pattern of this new Background Block reminds me of stained glass and mosaics.  There is no concrete image to see, but you can imagine it's a detail of a big window for example...
So I coloured the fields in intense coloures to make them pop out.

On the Blog page you'll find in both postings, the originally Challenge post and the today's reminder post, also all the cards from the Brand Ambassador Team and our Guest Designer Nonni.

To keep in mind the Challenge Guidelines:

• You can use any products/stamps to enter the challenge, but we do LOVE to see you use your Uniko products. Plus, there is an extra chance to win a prize if you do ;)
• 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!
• Please share the challenge graphic in your post and link back to the challenge.

I also have some details of the possible PRIZES:

• Main Winner Chosen By the DT - £25 eGift Certificate
• Random Twist Winner - £5 In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing
• Random Uniko Stamps Winner - £5 In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing

You've got plenty of time to play along with this month's challenge - we added one more week this time cause of the Christmas days. 

You have time until midnight (GMT) on Friday 27th December 2019.

K1-1261 - Folk-Snowflake Background - Detail

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

The steps to create a card like this one are so easy and they don't need lots of time!

• Create an easy and colourful background paper with two or three alcohol inks and the smooshing technique.
  Pep it up with a bit of additional ink ot blending solution (splatters ot brush strokes).
• Take your Christmas Folk Snowflake Stencil and trace all edges with a fine marker. Work slow and careful to get a good result!
• Cut this paper, have an eye on the pattern (there are different possibilities).
• Adhere the paper on a fitting coloured paper and these two layers on your card base or adhere your paper directly on the card front.
• Stamp the sentiment three times in different colours or techniques. In my case I stamped them in Distress Oxide Inks, picked raspberry and abandoned coral (mixed them on the stamp). The first one I just let as it was, the second one I covered with a clear star gelly roll pencil and the third one I heat embossed with fine clear powder.
• I cut out 1/4 of one snowflake / star of the background pattern and put it on the sentiment layer.
  Adhere this sentiment layer with 3D pads on the front. It's extra eye catching when you insert the little cut out piece in the original background pattern - same position of the elements!
• If you want, you can embellish the card with some glitter or enamel doots, rhinestones, pearls or sequins. But don't do too much, sometimes less is more when you have a busy background!

Hier die dritte Karte:

K1-1176 - Emboss Resist - Hallo

K1-1176 - Emboss Resist - Hallo

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Gestartet hab ich mit komplett weißem Cardstock.
Zuerst hab ich die Oxide Inks mit der Smooshing-Technik aufgetragen.
Dann über die Stencil die Embossing Tinte aufgetragen und mit transparentem Pulver embosst.
Anschließend die (gesäuberte!) Stencil gedreht, damit die Dreiecke in die andere Richtung zeigen, und zwischen den embossten Dreiecken plaziert. Erst mit den Blending Tools passend zur vorhandenen Farbe auf dem Papier noch mehr Farbe aufgetragen und (nach dem Reinigen der Stencil!) wieder Embossing Tinte und Pulver. Diesen Schritt hab ich nochmal wiederholt.

Jetzt mit dem schwarzen Stempelkissen das komplette Papier bearbeiten! Seltsamerweise kostet mich das jedesmal, wenn ich es mache Überwindung, warum auch immer?!?
Jetzt noch die überschüssige Farbe mit einem Tuch entfernen. Da es noch eine ganze Weile bei Berührung nachgefärbt hat, hab ich eine hauchdünne Schicht MicroGlaze aufgetragen. Seither kann man es anfassen, ohne Spuren an den Fingern zu sehen.

Der Rest war einfach: Das Sechseck ausstanzen, mit Vellum hinterlegen und den feinen Vellum-Rahmen aufkleben. Das doppelte Hallo ausstanzen, beide Teile einfärben, embossen und zusammengeklebt auf die Karte kleben.
Bei dem hellgrauen Papier, das als Zwischen-Layer eingefügt ist, an der entsprechenden Stelle ebenfalls ein Sechseck ausstanzen (der Einfachheit halber etwas größer als das auf der Front) und es flach auf die Kartenbasis kleben. Dann den Vordergrund mit 3D Tape auf dem grauen Papier befestigt.

I started with white paper.
First I applied the Oxide Inks with the smooshing technique onto my paper.
Then I used the stencil with the embossing ink and added clear powder to emboss it. Then I replaced the (cleaned!) stencil in different direction and added more colour with my blending tools. Cleaned the stencil and added embossing ink again. Heat ambossed two times with clear powder.

The next step is hard, every time I use this technique! I applied the black ink directly with the black ink pad on the whole panel!
After I removed the excess colour with a towel I got still black fingers... so I added a thin layer of MicroGlaze. Now it's perfect!

The rest was easy peasy: diecut the hexagone, put a piece of vellum behind and adhere the fine vellum-frame. Also diecut the sentiment, colour and heat emboss it, layer it and glue it on the hexagone.
I put a layer of light gray paper between my cardbase and the front layer. To get a clear vellum hexanone, I cut a bigger hexagone out of this gray paper, then adhered it flat onto my cardbase. The front is adhered with 3D tape.

the stencling steps by step

Über die Karte:
Auch wenn man es bei dem Hintergrund nicht mehr erkennen kann... aber er ist mit Brusho Pigment-Pulver gestaltet. Die Brauntöne sind eine Mischung aus unterschiedlichen Einzelfarben und bilden bei Kontakt mit Wasser einen bunten und spannenden Mix... der war aber für mein Giraffenfell eher nicht geeignet, weshalb ich mit einem Pinsel für eine homogene Mischung gesorgt hab. Ich war froh, dass ich die Schablone mit Hilfe von einem speziellen Schablon Haftspray auf's Papier geklebt hatte - so

About this card:
You can't recognize it any longer, when you see the background... but it's created with Brusho pigment powders. The brown colours are a mix of different colours and they make a colourful and exciting mix when they get in contact with water... but for the giraffe fur this wasn't helpful, so I mixed these different colours with a brush to a homogeneous brown. I was thankful I fixed the stencil with a special stencil glue on my paper before - so there was only a tiny bit of colour and water sipping beneath it.
