Rainbow Unicorn Greetings

Supplies: Stamps: Avery Elle Be a Unicorn  Ink: Distress Inks: candied apple, carved pumpkin, lucky clover, mustard seed, blueprint sketch, Versamark  Paper: Strathmore Bristol watercolor paper, Gina K heavy base weight white  Accessories: copic markers, MFT jumbo peek a boo circle die cut, Lawn Fawn white and silver twine, white detail embossing powder, Wink of Stella clear marker

My niece loves unicorns, and I had purchased this stamp set with her in mind.  I came across it on my desk and was determined to make a card with it.  When I think of unicorns I think of bright rainbow colors.  So, I got out my distress inks and created the background of the card.  I have to admit it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  I think it was partly due to the paper, the ink blended like butter.  Usually I have random dark marks when I use my distress inks, which is why I don't reach for them too often.  But after this card maybe I will.  After creating the rainbow I die cut the opening for the unicorn.  I used Gina K heavy base weight white for my card base, because when you use copic markers on it, the color doesn't bleed to the back of the cardstock.  I stamped and colored the unicorn and added sparkle using my wink of stella marker.  Then added my sentiment at the bottom using detail white embossing powder.  Lastly I added the white and silver twine to finish the card.  And I added the rainbow panel to the card base with dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
