We have an awesome sponsor again for this challenge. Please let me introduce you to 

Beverley from Uniko Studio

Uniko Studio is a small company based in the North East of the UK. Uniko Studio specialises in surface pattern design & clear stamps for the hobby market.

Uniko Studio will feature high quality photo polymer stamps designed & manufactured here in the UK, and if things go well we will branch out into other crafting supplies.

Since starting & graduating from Cleveland College of Art & Design, with a first class honours (BA) degree in Textiles & Surface Pattern Design I knew that my new path in life would be a creative one. Since a young girl I have been creative & I have enjoyed the hobby of making cards for as long as I can remember! During the final stages of my degree I focused my projects on designing clear stamps for the hobby market with a clear focus of starting the company once I graduated.

So here I am.. Uniko Studio! I hope you will join me on this adventure & enjoy the NEW stamp designs from Uniko Studio.

Beverley has been kind enough to offer a fabulous prize -

This gorgeous digital collection is up for grabs AS WELL as your choice of 3 x digital paper collections!!!

For my inspiration card I was lucky enough to be able to use the beautiful English Country Garden digistamps together with their Eclectic Mix Summer papers.

I started with an 8" scalloped card blank and put it through my eBosser in an A4 embossing folder.  I then used a Die'sire Embossalicious e/f called Regal Frame and embossed a piece of card which is 6" square.  I printed out four of the papers and then resized the flowers and butterfly and printed each onto different papers using my laser printer.  These were then foiled (which I hope you can see from the photos).  I did the same for the sentiment and punched it out with my EK Success Labels punch.  The finishing touch was some White Opal Liquid Pearls to make the butterfly trail.

To be in the running to win this wonderful prize, please do not forget to check our challenge rules HERE.

Please use the Code Word provided for your inspiration and remember to keep your project Clean and Simple. Now, how are you going to use embossing on your project? Will it be dry or heat or both? We can't wait to see what you come up with.
