[Uniko Studio] Design Team Blog Hop - Background Builders Lattice Revisited

Hello everyone! We had a glorious sunny weekend - a good teaser to what spring would look like. Sadly the weather forecast is showing dropping temperatures for the rest of the week. I'm so bummed. On other glorious news fronts, I have friends visiting soon from Germany and it's going to be packed week and a half, but I'm super excited. We saw them over Christmas break, but it's never too soon to see far-away friends again! I take whatever I can get.

However, I'm here to revisit an older set from Uniko Studio. This week we're taking another spin at Background Builders Lattice.



I love this set. I took a bold color approach (craving spring to arrive!) and wanted to show you how backgrounds don't have to be in the background. It can also be bold & beautiful.

Stamps: (Background Builder Lattice) Uniko Studio
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Smokey Shadow, Raspberry Fizz) Papertrey Ink
Ink: (Versamark) Tsukineko
Embellishments: (Stamp 'n Stuff Embossing Powder - Opaque White) Stampendous!; (House of Three - Soiree: Dimensional Stickers, Flags) Pink Paislee


I really found inspiration from the Soiree collection, where I remembered seeing gorgeous lattice in the patterns. And the yellow and pink are beautiful and bold colors that were perfect. That's how I decided to pull some Smokey Shadow card stock and  added some white embossing for the background. Isn't it stunning?

Hope you feel inspired to get your crafting up and going again. Also remember that Uniko Studio is offering worldwide Free Shipping until March 11. Yep you read correctly - so hurry and get your orders in today!

And if I remember correctly, Bev is going to draw a winner to win this stamp set from among the blog hop, so remember to comment along the way. In the meantime, I'm sending you off to our last stop Stacey.

I hope you like what you're seeing. Hope to see your creations soon!

We've had a taste of Spring but it seems far away today as the snow is back! Lovely to see the BRIGHT colours on your card today & the white embossing is so striking & the lattice pops off the card beautifully & draws focus to the cake on the card. Hugs Bev xx
