The Courtship.....

 Hi all hope you are all well

As you will see I have made another Unicorn card, but this time being in love. The lady Unicorn is quite coy while the male declares his love - I wonder what she is thinking at that moment.  

For this I used the other background I used for one of my previous posts. I think it was a mop up from a stencil used for another card. I love the effect so much

I used the following ingredients for this card

DL sized card blank

For this one I used the following

Lavinia Stamps - Talia, Zuri, mini hearts and cherry blossom

Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch

Elements Della Blue

White gel pen

Sakura Gelly roll stardust pens - Rose and Purple

Blue glitter pen

Black and white pastel pencil

Black sharpie

black Sakura glaze pen

glossy accents for the hearts

Magical encounter

Good day to you all

I have just remembered it is one of my Grandaughter's 11th birthday at the end of the week and I just know she loves Unicorns so that is what she is getting

For this I used a background I had tucked away in a draw and felt the pink/blue tones were perfect for this card. I think it was a mop up from a stencil used for another card. I love the effect so much and I had managed to get 2 pieces of DL card from the background, so yes I have another

I used the following ingredients for this card

DL sized card blank

Lavinia Stamps - Nia,Talia, Rory and Vine Branch

Lavinia Fairy-tale glitter

Versafine Clair Nocturne

Elements Ink - Della blue and Violet chalk

Blue and Purple Koh-I-Noor watercolur pencils

Clear, Purple and Rose Sakura gelly roll stardust glitter gel pens

White pastel Pencil

Black Sharpie and fineliner

White gel pen
