Guest Designer – Faye Wynn-Jones

Happy Hump Day!

I am super happy this Wednesday morning as I have the lovely Faye Wynn-Jones from Stamping Fluffnstuff, my amazing Guest Designer for January back on the blog with some more Copic coloured Pure Florals: Peony inspiration.

I am sure many if not all of you know Faye, but without further ado, I will hand you over to Faye to introduce herself and her beautiful cards she has made to share with you today.

“Hi Everyone, I’m Faye and I’m addicted to Copics. (Choklit too, but ssshh, that’s a secret, we’ll keep it between us!) I’m the Copic endorsed Instructor for the UK and I also work closely with the European Copic Distributor and Instructors.

I’m wife, Mum and HuMummy to three (demanding) cats too. With all that going on, it’s not often I get to colour something for fun. So I was delighted when Bev asked me to Guest Design for her. I first came across Bev’s gor-geous stamps at a show last year and I have to tell you it was love at first sight. If you get to any of the shows Uniko exhibit at, you must stop by. The girls are so friendly and the stall is a real feast of inspiration and yummy goodies. You might even spot me in a corner drooling!”

I love colouring an image in monotone. It can be really easy to get caught up in what colours work with what. When you work only in grey, you take that away and can really focus on smooth blending and the light source. Once these things start to fall into place, it is much easier to work with colours and that’s what I did for my final card.

Copics Used…

Grey; C0, C1, C3, C5

Peach; R000, R30, R21, E70

Green; YG61, G82, G24, E70

Guest Designer – Faye Wynn-Jones

Happy Monday!

I am super happy this Monday morning to introduce you to Faye Wynn-Jones from Stamping Fluffnstuff, my amazing Guest Designer for January 🙂

I am sure many if not all of you know Faye, but without further ado, I will hand you over to Faye to introduce herself and her beautiful cards she has made to share with you today.

I got to thinking about how I spend time colouring an image, sometimes, but not always, I create a background too. I wanted to see how it looked if I created a background and left the image ‘naked’. My plan was that the coloured background would make the image ‘pop’.

On these two cards, I have coloured the backgrounds with Copics. For the pink card I added texture by applying Colourless Blender Various ink with a natural sponge. On the green card, I used the same process but I applied the Colourless Blender Various Ink with an old face cloth. After that, I splatted some ink across the backgrounds by flicking the Copic nib on the edge of the lid. You might want to think about putting something on your desk before you do that part!

Copics Used…

Pink; R81, R83, R83

Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Sweet Baby

Later than planned with my next SOTW card due to a migraine on Wednesday resulting in an early night and Date Night yesterday resulting in a late night! We went out for dinner and a movie and I enjoyed Superman V Batman more than I thought I would, however I am still not sure of Ben Affleck as Batman.

Anyway, back to my card…

Todays card uses the new CAS(E) this Sketch! sketch seen HERE and below, such a fun sketch with so many possibilities. This is the first idea that popped into my head.

I used my Mama Elephant dies to create the scalloped edge to represent ripples on the water. The ducks are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, flat coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut out. The white panels and the larger duck are adhered to the SU! Pacific Point card base using foam adhesive. I love how the little ducklings sit nestled in the scallops 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I will definitely be back with more to share using this set tomorrow. Don’t forget that this set is discounted this week HERE on the website.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

With February comes the start of my excitement and countdown to the Uniko February Release AND Uniko’s 4th Birthday! On Monday I kicked things off over HERE with a post that tells you how Uniko came to be, there is also a fun GIVEAWAY too 😉

If you missed it yesterday I have another fabulous & exciting opportunity for one of you. How would YOU like to be a Uniko Guest Stamp Designer? For all the details and to enter check out the post HERE.

Anyway, back to my SOTW card…

Today I decided to take 30+ minutes out to sit and colour the butterfly using a select few of my Copic Marker collection. I used to have nearly all of the Copic colours but as I don’t use them as much as I should I narrowed my colours down to just a select few. I thought it would be nice to join in on Kathy Racoon’s 30 Day Color Challenge, #thedailymarker30day over at Kathy’s blog The Daily Marker.

Along with the colouring challenge I decided to add in a couple more! First up the layout of my card is based on the new Freshly Made Sketches layout seen HERE and below and the new Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below.

The leaf and floral detail behind the butterfly is from Background Builders: Vines and the sentiment is another peek of one from a set being released next week! I’m still in love with my Wink Of Stella pen and though I was happy with my colouring, I decided to add a good dose of sparkle too 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I am still super busy in the Uniko Studio surrounded by a sea of photopolymer! Lots still to do for the February Release and Birthday celebrations. Be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS!

Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store, for this week only. That’s all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today 🙂
