I'm here again with day two of the new Uniko May release and today's cards
couldn't be anymore different from yesterdays retro style!
First up are Designer dies to coordinate with the prevoiusly released English Country Garden Butterflies stamp set..... I had to get my watercolours out to colour these beautiful
butterflies so I could cut them out with the new dies and mount them with their wings raised..
The images look gorgeous used tone on tone for the background
I love the sketchy nature of this new foliage background so I thought I'd try and heat emboss
it in gold then loosely watercolur with shades of green. I've added three flowers from
the previously released Beautiful Blooms III....
I'm really pleased with both of todays cards.... not my usual go to
style but it's fun to stretch those creative muscles :)
I'll be back tomorrow for another sneak peak, I hope you'll join me then.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Gorgeous cards Jenny. Great choice of an older floral to pair up with the background stamp.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Jenny. I love how you've used the butterflies, they look real. Great background on the card too.
ReplyDeleteThe added flowers on the new foliage stamp look so pretty and I love your watercolouring xx
Both are so beautiful.

What lovely creations. I love the look of the green and gold card!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG ! Both cards are fabulous, Jenny ! Your butterflies are stunning and I love the tone on tone background you've made. It reminds me the old books about animal life. And what a very creative card you've made with the sketched foliage background stamp. Love how you paired it with these buds. Stunning showcase ! x
ReplyDeleteLove the soft grey background stamping with your butterfly card and ingenious pairing with your foliage background and the Beautiful Blooms set (one of my faves!) x
