There's nothing like starting your week with a little punny goodness. And it helps introduce my card this week, featuring the oh-so-cute unicorn from the Magical Day stamp set. This image is super sweet all on its own, but paired with a sponged "rainbow" and the new Glitter Embossing Paste, it's....legendary. :)
Isn't this a sweet idea?! I cased a pin from Pinterest and am so pleased with the Stampin' Up! version. I coloured my unicorn pink with a flowing rainbow mane using my Stampin' Blends. They are so much fun to play with! And did you notice I gave the rainbow treatment to the uni-corn too? Here is a closer look:
From this closeup you can also see a little of my sponged background. It was a multi-step process: first I used daubers to sponge some Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Pool Party ink onto a Whisper White background, and then embossed it with the Softly Falling TIEF. Finally, I used the cloud mask from the Party Pattern Decorative Masks along with the new Shimmery White Embossing Paste to make my clouds sparkle. I'll be honest, I did a little happy dance when I removed the mask and saw how pretty the clouds were. You get it, I know you do!
I mounted my background on a piece of Pink Powder, and heat embossed my sentiment in silver on a strip of vellum, which I wrapped around the whole thing. Then I glued the whole shebang to my Tranquil Tide card base. I used the coordinating thinlit dies to cut around my unicorn, and then mounted it on some dimensionals to the vellum strip.
Because I had done soooo much to the front of my card, I kept the inside quite simple.
Wouldn't this be a sweet card for the little girl in your life? Or her friends? Or your friends? :) We all deserve a little magic on our birthday, right?!
