A Cute Unicorn Card

It's cold and miserable outside so I decided to stay inside and craft!!! lol Well it's April 8th and it has been snowing all week. We have gotten a ton of snow over the last couple of days. The silver lining in this is that it has not stuck around. Everything melts away once the sun comes out :)

With all the darkness outside I wanted to create something bright and cheerful, so I started with a cute unicorn cut that I found in the silhouette store.
Lately (well I guess always...lol) I have loved all things cute, bright and cheerful and unicorns defiantly fall into that category!

In today's card I started off by cutting out and creating this cute little unicorn, then I thought that it would look great on a square card. Once I found the scallop square, everything came together very nicely. I love the soft whimsical colour added to the card by the watercolour background and then with my hello sentiment and a couple of sequences the card was completed :)

I made a video for my YouTube channel describing how I made this cute card, so I thought that I would share it here too :)

I hope you have a great weekend and

A Pretty Watercolour Card

Tomorrow is a friend's birthday so I wanted to make her a pretty birthday card. I have not done any  watercolour painting lately, so I pull out some pretty spring colours from my Distress ink collection  and have some fun :)

I posted a video on my YouTube channel sharing the process and products that I used to make this card, so I thought that I would share that here too:

I hope that you have had a great day!!

A Bright Hello

I ordered the Watts Up stamp set from Simon Says Stamps back in April when it came out and was so excited to use it. 
When it finally arrived I was excited to dive right in and play but I decided to put it out of the way while I finished up some projects that I was working on and then I never got around to using it :(


A couple of weeks ago I pulled it out and had a lot of fun... I decided to pull out my distress inks and my paint brush to use with this stamp and love how it turned out!!

I used my distress inks as paints and the only problem that I ran into was on my first try where my yellow and blue meet it turned to green :( (not in my night/ light vision...lol)
So on my second try I had a little less water on my watercolour paper and it turned out great!!!
