Hi Everyone,
I finally own some Uniko stamps, thanks to my recent win and a generous gift certificate from Beverly, the sweet owner of Uniko stamps. I would own more stamps, if the shipping costs would not be so high....oh well, what am I complaining? I am lucky to live here in the US where most stamp companies are located....
Of course I had to use that stunning Gerbera for my card - I have had my eyes on this set literally forever! The theme for the Uniko challenge is metallics. I heat embossed in gold (WOW embossing powder) and then colored in the two outline images with my gold pigment watercolors. I then cut away the left hand corner of the black card stock, to lighten up the card a bit and used a scrap piece of an envelope liner. The sentiment is from the same set, heat embossed in white.
Also linking up with:
Snippets Playground - use a snippet - my snippet is the envelope liner
TCP Tuesday - flowers
Simon Says Monday challenge - metal (metallic dot and heat embossing)
WOW embossing powders challenge - used WOW gold embossing powder

PS: I didn't even realize the flowers in the behind were watercolored in gold! What a perfect fit! :)
Well done on owning some Uniko stamps, although I do so agree that many of the best stamps are USA ones. For some reason though, it's becoming easier to get those in the UK without paying massive shipping costs and also running the risk of our tax folk stinging one for import duty before they will even deliver the goods. AND, our Post Office slaps an £8 fee on top which is disgusting. So I'm really careful if I ever do feel I absolutely must order from overseas. That's one reason I waited for so long to buy a Misti - thankfully a couple of online UK companies import them, at long last. It's no wonder I went berserk craft shopping when we were in New Mexico! Almost ended up tossing out clothes to make room for more stuff in the baggage :) Rant over :)

Schwarz als Hintergrund wirkt immer sehr fein , die goldenen Blüten setzen dem Ganzen die Krone auf.
Liebe Wochenendgrüße

Cornelia I love this gerbera stamp and I don't think I've ever seen it used with such opulence and dramatic style. Absolutely love the embossed images against the dark background. Love, love, love it and thanks for sharing at Uniko. Sarah x
