NOW let's talk about Uniko - Beverly, I adore your products and one day will have some of my own! However - I am not the lucky owner of the products I've used today ... they all belong to one very generous sweet gal by the name of Deborah Frings - of Deborah's Gems, who was kind enough to allow me to play with her Uniko lovelies for a whole week! Mind you, I did drive 5 hours to play, interrupted a class she was taking, forced to do a bit of shopping, but I am so happy with the results ... hope you like them, too!
Each card was made on a linen card base, uses Delicata Silver ink, and silver thread:

Michele,
What dedication, a 5 hour drive and some shopping 😍😍, but seriously I hadn't been familiar with Uniko stamps before this either and I truly appreciate you using their products so we can see how lovely they are! Your cards are stunning and I am thankful you took the time and effort to make that drive and borrow those products. I am having a blast with this Advent hop, it is fun finding new friends behind the door each day and getting inspired by each and every one of you. Thank you for participating in the hop and especially for doing that drive.
Perfectly CAS, perfectly Christmassy, perfectly you, Michele! Your commitment to creating these beauties is awesome! Hugs, mon amie, Anita :)
