Hello, everyone! I mentioned earlier this month that UNIKO is celebrating its 10th birthday, and again I am joining the celebration with another card. All of the stamps used are from UNIKO and are included in the description below.
To create the background I stamped the floral and leaf images from Pure Florals: Gerbera in red and then filled in the gaps by stamping the birds from Rustic Christmas, also in red. I adhered a die-cut red frame to add some interest. Next I stamped the butterfly from English Country Garden - Butterflies in blue on a blue scrap and adhered. I heat-embossed a sentiment from Pure Florals: Gerbera in white on a black scrap and adhered. To finish the card, I adhered a number of black gems to the butterfly and several blue gems on the background. My card has been shared at Instagram with the tag #Uniko10 for UNIKO's Quest 6.
I am also joining Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge 166, which is Spin the Butterfly Wheel with C. I was inspired with the option to make a card using at least two of the colours on the wheel, plus a butterfly; my colours are Cornflower and Cardinal (see the inspiration graphic below).
I would also like to join the following 8 challenges, for a total of 10:
