Good morning! Welcome to Day 1 of the introductions for the upcoming June release at Uniko. I think you'll agree that Bev has been so clever with the Ink & Flip stencil sets she has designed so far and you've guess it, we have another for you...the Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon Stencil. It' another set of two. Here's my first card, using both of the stencils together... First I inked up the outer background, first ink blending in pale green and then, after flipping, in a cloudy blue. Next I used the second stencil to create the inner hexagon, ink blending with two shades of yellow to create some dimension. The bees are from the Bee Happy stamp set as well as a new set we will be sharing tomorrow, and the sentiment is from an existing stamp set called Zesty. I finished by adding some shimmer to the bees' wings. Materials used: Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon Stamps: Uniko - Bee Happy, Flower Power #9, Zesty Ink: Altenew - Minty Mint, Cloudy Sky, Warm Sunshine, Honey Drizzle; Versafine Clair - Nocturne, Misty Morning; Memento - Tuxedo Black Accents: Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen - Crystal Clear And for my second card I used just the central hexagon, along with stamps from the Bee Happy set and the new set being introduced tomorrow... This one layer card was so quick and easy to create. I inked up the hexagon in two shades of ink, flipping halfway through to create the full design. Then stamped the sentiment from the Bee Happy set and the bee and flight trail which is from a new set, also in this release. Materials used: Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon Stencil Stamps: Uniko - Bee Happy, Flower Power #9 Ink: Altenew - Warm Sunshine, Honey Drizzle; Versafine Clair - Nocturne, Misty Morning And finally, I decided to use the stencils to create some gems... I used two co-ordinating shades of each colour to create these gemstones, masking off the previous one as I went. Then it was just a case of stamping the bold sentiment, which is from the Birthday Sentiments stamp set. Another one layer card. Materials: Stencils: Uniko - Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon Stamp: Uniko - Birthday Sentiments Ink: Altenew - Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Hydrangea, Ultraviolet, Aqualicious, Teal Cave; Versafine Clair - Nocturne To see more projects and this stencil set in action my fellow Brand Ambassadors are sharing more makes over at the main Uniko blog, here.
