Uniko Studio Challenge - "Love and Friendship"

Grab button for Uniko Studio Challenge


This is my first entry into a Uniko Studio Challenge and Gillian Ross left a comment on my post for
CASology that I should enter this card for the Uniko Challenge, so this is what I am doing.
The stamp I used is an old SU! set, image and sentiment. I stamped and heat embossed the bird onto watercolor paper and used Distress Markers. I played with the ink on a craft mat and a brush filled with water. To intensify the color I ran the brush over the pen. A post last year by Bonnie Klass had pictures of birds taken in her yard and that is how I came about with this color combination. I trimmed the wc paper and punched the top and then mounted it with mounting tape onto a piece of confetti white cardstock. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine and heat embossed.

Stamp Set - SU! "Spring Song"
Paper - Canson Watercolor 90#, SU! Confetti White
Ink - Distress Markers, Versafine Onyx Black
Other - embossing powder, mounting tape, Notebook Paper Punch

  1. This is such a beautiful card. The texture of the water colour card against the smooth card looks lovely. And your watercolouring is so detailed and the colours so earthy. I am so pleased you entered this into Uniko, the sentiment is perfect.
