Have a Magical Time

Hello! Alison here, I love unicorns. I always have, so whenever I see them, I get excited. So the Unicorn Chill Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground was one I was really stoked to play with. There are actually several types of unicorns in this Sparkle Blend, so it's perfect for anyone that loves unicorns.

I stamped and colored the "All I Want" unicorns from Clearly Besotted (which unfortunately I can't seem to find in stock anywhere) with Copics. I tend to not have much of a plan when I color my images, and I usually let the colors I used for the stamps guide me to what I do with the rest of the card. Of course, knowing that I was going to use the Unicorn Chill Sparkle Blend helped this process along too.

The colors of this Sparkle Blend are so soft and pretty, that I knew I wanted to make a blended sky and of course that means I needed to break out my Distress Oxides. On smooth Bristol cardstock, I blended Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Tumbled Glass. I really love these colors together and they make a perfect sky. I stamped out some clouds from Lawn Fawn's Unicorn Picnic set and die cut 2 clouds from Rubbernecker Stamps' Small Cloud Stitch. I use this die a lot for my shaker cards. The back of my shaker windows has snowflake patterned paper from my stash, and I inked the edges of my white card base with more Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I love the softness of this card. There's nothing jarring or crazy, it's just soft and pretty. The Unicorn Chill Sparkle Blend has such beautiful colors and elements in it that it's easy to be inspired.

Unicorn Chill

Hey Friends! It's EK and I am back today with two cards for the price of one featuring the beautiful Sparkle Blend mix Unicorn Chill from Doodles Paper Playground.

To create my first card I blended distress oxides around a piece of watercolor paper. Then I die cut the paper to create the effect I wanted. I stamped this really fun sentiment (which I think could not be more relevant right now).

I added the Unicorn Chill sequin mix inside the shaker card and adhered with liquid adhesive a few of the hearts onto the sentiment.

I think this is the perfect anytime card for the woman in your life who is sort of her own version of super woman!

The second card was created simply because I had the extra bit of scrap from the ink blend water color paper.

I trimmed up a piece of Lawn Fawn printed paper and used the watercolor paper as a frame.

I created a background with splatters of Nuvo Mica Mist and Distress Oxide Spray. I adhered the printed paper and frame onto the background, and then added Unicorn Chill sequins around the frame.

I love the subtle holiday flair to this card without being an obvious Christmas card.

Thanks for peeking in today and checking out my two for one cards. Let me know in the comments below which of the two are your favorite. Until then, happy crafting.

All I want for Christmas - Unicorn Chill

 All I want for Christmas. . .

I used these cute unicorns from Clearly Besotted. 
 I colored them with colored pencils and gamsol.

I die cute my base panel and my top panel with the shaker window. 

I used a little distressed ink on the edges of my top panel and stamped the sentiment in purple.

I laid out my sequins and placed the top panel.

I decided I would use two of the unicorns and placed them on opposite sides of the card.

I added sequins on the front and filled them with glossy accents.

For this card I used the Unicorn Chill Sparkle Blend mix.

This is my favorite holiday color mix!
