Craft Consortium Mixed Media Pink and Purple Unicorn Card

Hi all

I am just sharing a card i made using the new 12 x 12 paper pads by Craft Consortium. I used the Watercolour pad for the base.

Cover a Tall Blank card with the pink paper from the Watercolour pad.

Ink around the edges using purple ink.

Take a selection of different coloured inks and stamp out different texture stamps randomly around

the card.

Take a unicorn stamp and stamp it out onto the pink and purple papers from the watercolour pad.

Cut out the unicorns and adhere to the card using 3d foam tape.

Decorate with sequins and add a sentiment.

Craft Consortium Winter Woodland Merry and Bright Card

Hi all 

Here is my last Christmas make of the year at least until June and the we start it all again. I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Right i am off to polish off the wine and hope Santa hasn't put me on the naughty list ;) 

Cover a square card blank with patterned  paper and trim to fit.

Cut a large strip from matching paper and adhere to the centre of the card. Ink over the top with brown spritzing ink.

Cut out a small rectangle and adhere over the edge of the strip

Take a mdf shape and paint with black acrylic paint. Let this dry and then apply crackle paste over the top and allow to set.

Once dry thread two acorn charms through some twine and then tie around the top of the mdf shape before adding to the card.

Good Luck with the last minute Xmas shopping and i will be back after Christmas with more inspiration.

thank you for dropping in.

I have used a digi stamp by www.anitasdigiart.blogspot.co.uk and i used this stamp here http://www.anitasdigiart.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/skulls. The background papers are free from Far Far Hill lots of Gothic and vintage paper collections and digis to use here.

I never thought i would end up making a card with skulls on because the kinda creep me out but this is one of my favourites. Mainly because i could pass it off as a Halloween card or a Birthday card for a goth friend if i had one.

i dyed white flowers grey and purple to go with the colour scheme and i like deep purple so i am using it on everything

Thanks for visiting and please hop along the list even if you do it hiding behind the couch.
