K1-1576 - Get Well Soon II / UNIKO BA-Inspiration

Heute gibt's wieder mal einen Beitrag von mir auf dem UNIKO-Blog! Ich zeige euch dort drei Karten mit Gittermuster/Mathekästchen im Hintergrund - etwas männliches, weibliches und für unterschiedlichen Anlässe. 

Die dritte und letzte Karte ist ebenfalls eine gute Besserungs-Karte, unterscheidet sich jedoch im Farbbereich und den Verzierungen deutlich von der vorherigen.

K1-1593 - You are so GREAT / UNIKO Intro-Day #2

Wer kennt sie nicht, die großen Blätter der exotischen Monstera (= Fensterblatt)? 
Ich mag sie, ich finde sie nicht nur groß, sondern auch großartig, da sie sehr pflegeleicht sind!
Jetzt ratet mal, woher meine Idee für diese Karte kam!   😉😂
Die Blätter sind in natura meist etwas glänzend - ich hab dieses Detail bei den Buchstaben umgesetzt.

Es ist Zeit für einen Brand Ambassador Blog Hop!
Beverley verlost unter allen Kommentaren, die während der Woche auf den Seiten der BAs hinterlassen werden eine £20 eGift Certificate, die man im Uniko Store einlösen kann.

Day two of the Intro for the July-Release of UNIKO!

Who doesn't know the big leaves of the exotic Monstera? (In Germay we call them Window-leaves as well.) 
I like them, they are not only big, but also great (awesome), cause they are very easy to grow and neen't lots of care!
Guess where I cought the idea for this card!   😉😂
In real the leaves are kind of glossy - I used this detail on the letters.

Diese Karte funkelt! 
Nicht nur, dass jeder Buchstabe des Textes mit einem GellyRoll Stift zum Funkeln gebracht wurde, sondern ich habe auch eine silberne Hologramm Folie unter dem gestalteten Bild platziert, die wie ein Rahmen hervorlugt.
Es wirkt, als wären unzählige kleine Regentropfen drauf - in Kombination mit dem neuen "Background Blocks - Rays" Stempel (=Strahlen) entsteht dann auch direkt ein farbenprächtiger Regenbogen!

Regenbögen sind Hoffnungsbringer, sie leuchten am Himmel, wenn der Regen aufhört und die Sonne wieder scheint... - gute Voraussetzungen dafür, dass der Wunsch "Hab einen wundervollen Tag" in Erfüllung geht, oder?

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

This card is sparcling!
Not only every Letter of the bold Sentiment got a layer with a sparkling Gelly Roll pencil, but there is also a silver hologram foil beneath the craftedpicture, placed like a frame.
It looks like there is an uncountable number of raindrops on it and in combination with the new Stamp "Background Block - Rays" a colourful rainbow develops immediatelly!

Rainbows are bearer of hope, they arise when the rain stops and the sun is shining again... - best requirement for the wish "Have a wonderful day" to come true, right?

Today we introduce the last two stamp sets of this release:

Happy Days
(£5)

Background Blocks Pinstripe II(£5)

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

Yes, you've read correct: Pinstripe II
Both background blocks have almost the same size, the same stripes, so what's the difference? 
The direction of the stripes (on the rectangular block)!

When Beverley showed us the first sneak peeks of this new background stamp I had the idea in my mind to combine these two pinstripe stamps immediately!
But there are many more ideas - now I can combine either vertical or horizontal cards with both, vertical or horizontal stripes to create great backgrounds! :-)

I stamped both blocks  in a light grey. Was so easy to adjust them perfectly orthogonal on the cardbase.
Then I measured out to find the middle row (was too lazy to count them twice) and started my "cross-stitching" with a fine red marker.
I added row after row and some extra stitches until my heart had a perfect size and shape. 
Was happy I needn't to suture the ends of the "thread" cause I used it to write my little message and finished the card by adding a "needle" with a silver Gellyroll pencil.

I know, the stitching doesn't look "perfect", but it wouldn't be better when I would have used real thread! So it looks very realistic for me! ;-)
(I crafted and did fancywork my whole life in many different ways, but I never did cross-stitching!)

Hope you like this "faux fabric" technique! 
When you try it yourself, please send me a link to your project in the comments - I'm nosy, which pattern you sew and stitch!
