What do you do on a Saturday morning?
This morning I decided to make a unicorn card. I've had in my head for a while now to make one but just haven't made myself sit down and actually get it from my head onto a card.
This is what my card turned out like....
There was a bit of a process to come up with this card, first was the eyes. Where to place them on the card, What shape do I want?
So first I jumped on my computer opened a word document and played with lines to make an eye. I like this shape a lot, it is a very happy eye.
Once I had the shape and size I wanted I printed it out then traced over it onto the cardstock as it gave my lines more of a smooth look and same size.
You can see here my fist attempt at the eyes and cheeks....I was not happy with it.
Hmm now the head dress for my Unicorn. I had to find the right size first and work out what colours I wanted. The first flower I tried just looked way to big so I found theses cute flowers in one of my stamp sets (which is a discontinued stamp set but I didn't have any others that were the right size). I cut out the amount I thought I would need and set about putting them together. I did a lot of putting it on the card base above the eyes I'd drawn on to get the shape and Order I wanted for the flowers.
Now the ears...hmmm what am I going to use that has the right shape I want. Again I found a discontinued punch that had the perfect shape for the outside and inside of the ears! If you don't have anything like this you can always find a picture on Google and cut them out.
Ok ears done, now the horn, again onto Google and found the perfect shape I wanted! Copy and pasted it onto a word document and resized it and printed it out. I love my brother scan and cut! I scanned the image into my scan and cut, put the cardstock through and cut the horn out....Perfect!
I wanted a gold horn so I used a versamark pen and coloured the areas I wanted gold then used the Gold embossing powder.
My unicorn needs some cute decorations so I found this cute star stamp from the Wood Words stamp set and put them to the side of the eyes using the versamark ink and Gold embossing powder.
Now when I put it all together on the card base it needed something between the flowers and the eyes. My Detailed with Love stamp set had the perfect stamp which I also did in the Gold embossing powder.
Oh cheeks, my unicorn needs some blusher so using just a bit of scrunched up hand towel I blotted some light ink in the cheek area. Then using some silver embossing powder I sprinkled a few bits over the ink then heated. I then used the Clear wink of stellar and painted that over the ink as well.
I placed it all together on the card base to make sure of placement before gluing.
Oh I also wink of stellared the inside of the ears as well.
Once it was all glued down I glued some embellishments in the middle of the flowers and stamped a sentiment from the Detailed with Love stamp set on the bottom then glued it onto the folded card base.
Wullah!! Done!!
I hope you like my first attempt at a Unicorn Card.
Any question please feel free to ask me. I will list what I have used for you (apart from the discontinued stamp set and punch used for the ears and flowers. I had a look and I think the Bouquet Blooms Stamp set would be a great alternative for the flowers...so now I have to buy it ;) )
