Stampin Unicorn Canvas

Hi All ... I'm back with another Stampin Unicorn project. One of the things I love about stamps is you can take them in any crafty direction .. Today I have gone for a real mixed media canvas.

To create this I made a background by using the LDRS embossing folders and some of the tags & wooden shapes from the magic sparkles embellishment kit I then covered it all in Gesso, when it was dry I added some pigment powders for a splash of colour.

I then coloured up the butterflies from Daisy Friends as a feature and used the words from the set too to ass as a sentiment. I created some highlights by adding a pink guilding wax and then framed it using a Black Ecoline watercolour pen.

Pretty Florals

Hi All,

Sharing another Stampin Unicorn make today. For this one I created a little bit of a wash in the background using an Ecoline pen. I then used the sentiment from Heavenly Blubells but deliberately didn't stamp perfectly to create a bit of a background. I then took paper from Butterfly Dreams and created some paper ribbons. I inked the edges with Distress ink Picked Rasberry. I then arranges some flowers from the Heavenly Dreams and then finished off with a sentiment from bits and pieces and finally I hand doodled some stitching detail around the card.

Perfect Petals Sparkle

Hi All,

Back with another Stampin Unicorn make. This was also featured on Hochanda, you can still catch both the shows on rewind, here and here

There was a little bit of discussion on TV as to how I had done this one, so I thought I would fill you in. I have used the stamp Perfect Petals ( aldo available at Polkadoodles and Hochanda ) I have stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder , the flowers I stamped out twice and I have layered and shaped them a little to add some dimension. Both the background and the flowers have been coloured with Sheena's Sparkle Pens. I then added black and white paint splatters to give a more arty feel. The sentiment if from the fabulous Bits and Pieces paper pack and then added a few gems from the Heavenly dreams embellishment kit ( its worth checking out the bundle offer )

For this make I used all 3 sets of the brand new stamps Small Beginnings Heavenly Bluebells Perfect Petals I stamped loads of them out and then coloured with some SN sparkle pens, and did loads of fussy cutting!! some of the flowers I layered up to give added dimension.

The little wooden gate I picked up in a bargin shop in the UK, I coloured it up with distress inks, Walnut Stain, Cracked Pistachio, Black Suit, to give a weathered look., I painted the hinges and door handle black paint, and then swirled some white and blue paint over it to create an oxidized look. The grass, I sneaked in from a polkadoodles embellishment kit, which you can find here

Finally I used some glossy accents to add lots of little drops all over the project to look like raindrops.
