Make It Crafty - Enchanted Unicorn

Howdy Everyone!

Today, I am posting a card featuring a beautiful image from Make It Crafty called Enchanted Unicorn.

I used a lot of peach with pearls, cheese cloth and a doily to give this a very feminine feel.

I used several Copics with a flicking technique to create the rainbow color in the unicorn's mane and tail.

This lovely sentiment comes from Stamper's Anonymous by Tim Holtz. I love his inspirational sentiments.

If you look below the flowers, you can see I used a Leaf Chippie to embellish the flowers. I covered it with Pearl Acrylic paint and used my airbrush to add blue and green Copics for color. I love that the pearl shows through even when covered with a spray of Copics.

Here is the list of supplies I used on this card...

Sympathy Card

The card I am posting today is sad for me because it represents the loss of two people in my life over the last week.

My aunt passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's. We also lost a friend, a precious member of our church this week.

I made this sympathy card while thinking of the families of these two precious ladies.

No images with this card. I used layers of spellbinders dies and a simple sympathy sentiment.

Fancy Tags 3 - Spellbinders
Lattice Pendant - Spellbinders

Fleur de Lis Pendant - Spellbinders

Anna Griffin Sentiment

I used my Xyron adhesive, but I don't love the fact that it leaves bits of adhesive in the spaces. I need to work on a better solution for layering.

So, sad reasons for my card today, but wanted to give you some inspiration for the times when a sympathy card is in order.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Make It Crafty - Sealed with a Kiss

Howdy Y'all!

I hope you are having a great summer (or winter depending on where you live)!!! We are having a nice, warm summer so far.

For my card today, I am featuring a beautiful new stamp from Make It Crafty called "Sealed with a Kiss."

I wanted to carry the fancy dress onto the card, so I added some of this gorgeous lace. I also added a chippie from the Butterfly Swirls collection. I colored the chippie with purple paint and added some Perfect Pearls for some shimmer.
