Today I am sharing with you a Holiday card using Uniko products.
Season's Greetings card
I have used Stunning Snowflakes stamp set to create my background. This set has snowflakes images in three different sizes. Great for clustering. I have white heat embossed the snowflakes on watercolour paper. Then used Gansai Tambi watercolour to watercolour in layers. The heat embossed snowflakes resist the watercolour and pops out at you. Since the watercolour is in layers, I love the effect of colour pooling around the snowflakes. Once dry I spattered some Mr Huey opaque white. I set this aside to dry while I work on the sentiment.

 I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #4 on a grey piece of cardstock. Then I trimmed then and cut fish tail on the right side of the strip.
Once the watercoloured panel is dry, I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle largest die to die cut a stitched edge panel. This panel is then adhered on a white card base using some craft foam. The sentiment is then adhered to the top left of the card front using foam adhesive. Finally I embellished with Pretty Pink Posh’s Sparkly Clear sequins.
