Uniko Challenge Reminder

 Hi Everyone,

I have the honor of making a reminder card for the Uniko challengeThe theme for the current challenge is Easter/Spring! 

Beverly was really generous and sent me a lot of digi stamps from Uniko to use for this card. Little did she know that I am a digidiot (digital idiot). So I putzed around basically forever and could not get the grouping I wanted with the outline flowers. Worked without problems with those black ones. So I finally gave up....



Printed the black flowers onto water color paper. Took watercolors and puddled around them - it has a kind of tropical spring feel. I hope you forgive me, but this is the best I could do....


.....fast forward a day. Did some thinking....
and here is card #2

I figured I can just print some of those pretty flowers, color them (used water colors) and cut them out! I popped them up with foam tape. The background I made with an iStencil. I also added tickle to the center of those flowers.
The inspiration for this card I got at the Time Out challenge, where Marjan made that fabulous card:



Time to invest into some real Uniko stamps!!!!!
I hope you play along - I certainly am - with card #2!

Zwei Karten, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein können!!!
Bei der oberen habe ich sofort die Assoziation eines Vulkanausbruchs, wenn ich den Hintergrund betrachte.
Ich liebe Vulkanausbrüche, aber nur aus der Ferne und am liebsten im Fernsehen. Da werden sie immer so spektakulär gezeigt und man ist auf der sicheren Seite.
Die zweite Karte scheint passend für eine ältere Dame - oder??? - farbmäßig meine ich - oder??? Aber trotzdem schön.
Liebe Grüße

even though you found the digi images a challenge you've managed to create 2 fab cards! Love the colours of the second and your striped background x Lindsey

Happy you did some rethinking. As much as I like the first card with the bold colours, I do think that your second card is so much more Spring-like. Love the soft colours against that fun stencilled background.

Two absolutely stunning cards! Great to have you as Uniko Guest Designer this month.
Alle blumig und trotzdem doch unterschiedlich. Eins haben sie aber gemeinsam, sie schauen alle toll aus!
Liebe Grüße und schöne Ostertage

Well, to me the other digidiot, these say your kind of a digigenius. Impressed with the way you made those black flowers really pop. The watercoloring is fabulous...and the second card made me swallow my gum...Wow! You really know how to use those flowers now.

Ich habe auch nicht keine Erfahrung mit digistamps (obwohl ich einige runtergeladen habe, aber ich vergesse sie immer), aber du hast eine gute Lösung gefunden! Gut sind sie geworden, deine Karten. Der Hintergrund der zweiten gefällt mir besonders gut!
Frohe Ostern,
Susanne

I love both these cards -- that first one reminds me of Hawaii -- a volcano going on in the bg - it turned out amazing! Leave it to you to make a 2nd fabulous inspired card -- totally awesome.

These are both just lovely, Cornelia ... the first is deliciously dramatic with those dark blooms against the tropical colours ... and the second is soft and delicate and dreamy ... the flowers are fab against that cool background! Delighted to have you playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
