Birthday Unicorn - Design Team Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. When I was colouring in the Unicorn from the A5 Unicorns and Chasing Rainbows clear stamp set I knew straight away this would make a perfect birthday card for a little girl. I decided to play on the theme of pinks and purples but added a touch of grey to modernise it. This is a great card to have in my stash ready to send out, you should make one too!

Birthday Unicorn card details:

To start off, stamp the unicorn onto hot press watercolour paper in versamark ink and heat emboss. I used Pure Platinum WOW! Embossing powder as this would pair lovely with the colour scheme of the card. 

Next, I used my Tropical watercolour pan from Prima marketing to colour the unicorn in.  I added more colour to areas in the shadow to add some dimension and depth. I also used a soft grey ink to add a little shading around the edge of the horse head. 

To add sparkle to the unicorn I added versamark ink with the use of the versamark pen and add holographic embossing powder, and heat set this. Once the unicorn was complete, this was fussy cut-out. 

For the rest of the card, I die cut a stitched circle out of purple card. For added interest, I clear heat embossed the A6 Tiny flower background clear stamp. Before foam mounting this onto the card, I used soft stencil brushes to ink blend Tattered Rose distress oxide onto the card panel. I wanted a soft pink haze around the die cut circle. 

I cut down a few grey strips of card and adhered this onto the card panel with double-sided tape. Both the die cut circle and then the unicorn was foam mounted onto the card to give lots of dimensions. A grey die cut sentiment was added to the card along with a small stamped sentiment in matching ink. 

To finish the card off, a selection of purple and pink sequins were added to the card panel. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.

Unicorns

Hi crafters happy Sunday.  today I am here to share my next card using the gorgeous and fun stamp set "Unicorns and Chasing Rainbows." 

 I stamped my image onto some distress ink paper and colored it with some zig clean color pens.   I then used a decorative die for the he backdrop for my image.

I hope everyone enjoyed my post and thanks for stopping by!!

Dream ~ Karen

Hello everyone!  It's Karen with you today, and I have a simple card using 3 different stamp sets to share:

 I started by die cutting a circle shape from a piece of scrap paper to create a mask, then I taped it down on my cardstock and created an ombre/sunset effect using three colours of Distress Oxide Inks (Wild Honey, Worn Lipstick & Candied Apple).  After removing the mask, I stamped the two flowers from the Moderne Flowers set, the leaves and butterfly from the Leaves stamp set, and added the Dream sentiment from Unicorns & Chasing Rainbows - all in Black Versafine ink.  I drew in the stems with a fine black marker.

I used my sewing machine to stitch the panel down to some black cardstock, and popped the whole piece up with some pop dots before adhering it to my patterned paper.  I added a few white sequins to finish it off.  You can find all of the stamp sets on the Colourific website here... or click on the stamp names above to go directly to them on the site.  Happy stamping!

Unicorn Eating Cake on a Rainbow ~ Karen

Hello!  It's Karen here with you today, and I am so happy to be here, doing my first post for Colourific!  I am using the smaller unicorn image from Unicorns & Chasing Rainbows, along with sentiments from Unicorn Text:

I started creating my background by blending four colours of Distress Oxide Ink to provide a soft halo of colour.  Then I used my sewing machine to stitch around the panel before adhering it to the base. I've coloured the unicorn and flowers with Copic markers, and fussy cut them all out.

The unicorn and a couple of the smaller flowers are attached with pop dots for a little added dimension, and a few sequins provided some sparkle!

I used another one of the sentiments from Unicorn Text on the inside, along with the small flower spray:

Make a wish on a rainbow card - Design team member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with my first post for Colourific.co.uk! Colourific stamps has some great stamps to choose from, check out the link at the end of the post to visit the shop. Today's card is a lovely bright happy card using the A5 Unicorns & Chasing Rainbow set from Colourific.co.uk. I thought this card would be perfect for anyone who loves a rainbow and let's be honest who doesn't?! Or a great child's birthday card! I googled if you can make a wish on a rainbow. Apparently, when you see a rainbow, you should draw a cross on the ground and then you can make a wish on the rainbow!

Make a wish on a rainbow details:

To start off, stamp with versamark ink onto paper that has some tooth too it, as this was coloured in with pencils. Alternatively, you could colour this with alcohol markers or watercolours, but just make sure you use the right paper. I used Strathmore tone grey paper for this as I love how the pencil goes down onto this paper. 

To create a little interest to the rainbow, I used a slightly darker shade towards the end of each stripe of the rainbow and added a light area/highlight to the left side of the arch. Make sure you start of lightly applying the colour so you can add layers and blend between the shades. 

Once the rainbow was coloured, I stamped over it again using my stamping platform to heat emboss the lines. You can leave it without this stage if you prefer. Just using a simple pair of scissor I fussy cut the rainbow out. 

To make the rest of the card, I die cut circle out of scrap paper and use the negative to adhere to my card panel to create a mask. Using a cloud edge die from my stash to create a temporary stencil, I ink blended Salty ocean distress oxide and Faded jeans distress oxide of the stencil to create the background.

The rainbow was foam mounted onto the card. I also stamped and heat embossed two clouds from the stamp set, and added a little shading with pencils. These were added to the bottom of the rainbow. To finish, I added a small heat embossed sentiment from my craft stash and added a few rainbow jewels with glossy accents. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.
