Rainbow Unicorn – Leave a Little Sparkle

Posted on by

I have been playing today with the unicorn image from the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set and rainbow  colours. Such fun! I made this card for one of the ladies coming to class next week, she loves unicorns.

To recreate the Sparkle card you will need;

Gorgeous Grape card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White 4⅛” by 3⅛”
Goranny Apple Green 4⅛” by ¼” x 2

I placed the smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock into the Stamparatus and placed the gorgeous unicorn image onto it, face down. The door of the Stamparatus was closed picking up the stamp.

Using Real Red ink on a Sponge Dauber I inked up the unicorn’s horn and a small part of the mane and closed the door, stamping the inked portion of the image onto the cardstock.

The next portion of the unicorn was inked in the same way using Pumpkin Pie ink and a Sponge Dauber. I repeated the same step inking up a didderent part of the unicorn and working my way down the unicorn’s body. I used Daffofil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape inks.

I was delighted with the result, the unicorn looked fantastic. I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink and added the strips of Granny Apple Green cardstock at the top and bottom of the stamped piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The swirl image was stamped randomly across the front of the Gorgeous Grape card base in Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamped unicorn panel added with Dimensionals. A scatter of Iridescent Sequins was added to the card.

The swirl was stamped onto the larger Whisper White panel in Gorgeous Grape ink and added to the inside of the card. The same image was stamped onto the envelope to complete the project.  I hope she likes it.

I repeated the stamping of the unicorn as above and added it to Gorgeous Grape strips and then to a Bermuda Bay card base stamped in the same way.

Amazing Life for the GDP #176 – CASE the designer

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I designed for the Global Design Project #176 – CASE the Designer Challenge. I loved the rainbow colours in Steffi’s beautiful card and made that my starting point.

Making the card

I began by choosing the image I wanted to use. It had to be fairly small and ideally a fairly open image. In the end I went for the sweet little flower stamp in the Amazing Life stamp set.

Next I looked at colours; I knew I wanted a rainbow to mimic Steffi’s card and tried out a few variations of colour before settling for – Berry Burst, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Gorgeous Grape – in hind sight I should have gone for Lovelly Lipstick as my first colour but completely forgot about it……..it’s been that kind of day.

After stamping the flower in each of the colours onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” I rounded the upper left corner with my Detailed Trio Punch. I added a layer of Basic Gray layer 5⅜” by 3⅝” behind the Whisper White panel having rounded the same corner and using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the whole stamped panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock ⅜” wide. This was then trimmed down and one end flagged using my scissors. I added the sentiment to a scrap of Granny Apple Green ½” wide and trimmed to fit. This was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the flower again in Grapefruit Grove onto a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” which was them glued inside the card. The same image was then stamped in the same colour onto a Whisper White envelope. To complete the card I added a few of the gorgeous Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.

Magical unicorn card

Magical Days with Rainbows

Posted on by

Magical Mates stamp set and co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit dies – OMG I think I have died and gone to heaven and the gorgeous little unicorn image just cried out for the addition of a rainbow.

I began by die cutting 3 layers of cloud using the Rainbow Builder Framelits and panels of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 4”, 4” by 3½” and 4” by 2”.  I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Day stamp set onto the smallest panel in Archival Basic Gray Ink and set it aside to dry.

Taking a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cute ‘unicorn’ image in Archival Basic Gray Ink. I coloured the mane and tail of the unicorn using Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant Marker Pens. Using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Pen I added some shading to the body of the unicorn softening the edges with the Colour Lifter. I added the hooves using the Dark Smoky Slate Pen. After colouring I die cut the unicorn using the co-ordinating Magical Mates dies.

Using the Rainbow Builder Framelit dies I die cut each layer of the rainbow from a different colour starting with Daffodil Delight and moving through Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant. I found it easier to adhere the layers of the rainbow to a strip of Whisper White starting with the smallest piece. This also gave the rainbow some stability.

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” I positioned the rainbow and clouds roughly where I wanted them, trimming them down if I needed too. When I was happy with the placement I started gluing them down beginning with the rainbow which was adhered with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tallest layer of cloud was then added with Tombow. The 2nd layer of cloud was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the unicorn was glued onto the layer using Tombow. The smallest cloud layer with the stamped sentiment was then added with Tombow.

I glued the whole piece to a Rich Razzelberry card base and finished off by covering the clouds in Clear Wink of Stella. Gorgeous, I love it and I know just who to give this card too.
