Uniko Ink and Flip Stencils

I've been eyeing the Ink and Flip stencils from Uniko for a while now.  Bev recently had a sale, and I jumped at the chance to pick up a couple.  I got the Christmas Star and Snowflake stencils.  Just as the name suggests, you create the patterns by inking, turning, and also flipping the stencils.

These are SO easy to work with, you can definitely mass produce a bunch of cards in a hurry.

For each of the stencils, I used just two colors:  Sky and Dusk for the Snowflake card, and Carnation and Peony for the Christmas Star card.  To mix things up a little bit, with the Christmas Star stencil I did not flip/rotate exactly, I did it a bit offset because I like the extra motion/layering you get when you do that.  There are some great samples on the Uniko website where folks selectively inked the areas to create rainbow cards, but I went simple and easy this go round.

Finishing off the panels was really easy as well.  For the snowflake, I used sentiments from the Holiday Messages set inked in Versa Clair black.

For the Christmas Star, I die cut the Merry & Bright sentiment twice from white cardstock and once from Champagne Matte.  These were adhered together and then directly to my card panel.  I also added a few Trinity Stamps Boiled Sugar embellishments.

Can't wait to ink these up again!
