For the next few days I have the pleasure of joining Uniko for their May
release, which is fab by the way 😉😊
So from today until Saturday I will sharing my cards and sneak peaks of the new release
along with the Uniko ladies. Then Sunday is release day with a blog hop which
gives you a chance to win the whole new release.
Today is the introduction to Mid Century Modern Florals
and Mid Century Background Blocks I & II...
As the name suggests, the Mid Century Modern backgrounds have that retro vibe
so I was totally inspired by images on Pinterest. I just had to add enamel accents to those
dots in an array of bright colours... a little bit of ink blending around the edges
helped to give that aged look too
This is the second Background block and I decided to change it up by stamping it out three
times in different colours so I could cut them up and mix it up to make a border for this card....
does this remind you of retro wallpaper??!!
Now I know you shouldn't have favourites but the Mid Century Modern Florals
has won my heart, first of all it's a style I love and a very versatile set too.
This floral builder has got the retro vibe going so I went with a rich muted colour
palette and stamped this stylised flower border.
So that's all for today, we have more lush stuff this week so please pop
back tomorrow for more sneaks and inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Love how you made your panel using the BB II, very inventive and the BB I cries out for the addition of enamel dots.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you GD this week. :)

Wow ! You’ve made wonders with these Mid Century Modern design stamp sets. Your choice of colours remind me so much the wallpaper my parents had at home! Your floral card is just fabulous! So glad to have you as our Guest Designer for this release!
ReplyDeleteFABulous cards!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, nice to meet you! I'm happy you're our GD in the Intro week for the new release - my chance to see your great designes for the first time (but for sure often from now on!)
ReplyDeleteLove your cards! They convey the feeling of this retro style perfectly! Your combination of the elements and the colours is perfect! (As Faith and Izzy told before, it takes me back to my childhood time too!)
Hugs and Greetings from Wiebke (KomMa-designed)
Oh wonderful Jenny, what a fabulous showcase! The blue, grey and gold middle card is the exact colours we had in our family room when I was younger, so yes it definitely reminds me of retro wallpaper. Great technique to get more colours onto this card too.
ReplyDeleteYour muted colors you chose so go with these designs!! I LOVE the more masculine one in the middle. Reminds me of when I was growing up!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colour ways of your cards: yummy black and pops of bright colours for your first, then fabulous muted subtles for your second masculine card and a retro feel to the last floral card. Great job x
