Rainbow Unicorn Card

 

I made this card for a little girl turning 5 years old. Magical Unicorn by Pink Fresh Studios is one of my only "little girl" stamp sets so I often use it for girl birthdays, but I still love it! I'd been mulling the idea of using it to make a rainbow unicorn for some time and was happy to finally make that happen!

I began by die cutting the ears and horn from white card stock using the coordinating Magical Unicorn dies. The horn was embossed in gold and I added Wink of Stella to the ears to give them some sparkle, though that is hard to see in the photo. 

Then I die cut 6 of the smaller flowers, also from white card stock.  I looked through my inks to find a rainbow of colors I thought looked good together. Using ink blending brushes, I  colored the white flowers in the rainbow hues. I did it this way because I didn't necessarily have the card stock colors I wanted, but I did have the ink colors. 

Once I had all of that done, I arranged them in ROYGBV order. Try as I might, though, I just couldn't find a way to make all six flowers look good. I ended up removing the green flower altogether and just using green in the leaves. Having only the five flowers, with the yellow at the center, was much more pleasing compositionally. The vein lines on the flowers also have Wink of Stella on them, and I went over the little dots in the centers with a gold pen. 

All of the elements were adhered onto a white panel die cut with the Card Front Element Builder die. The unicorn's eyelashes were stamped in black but embossed in clear to give them some shine. Finally, I added in a few of the star clusters including in the stamp set around the top in Soft Stone ink.

Thanks for reading and I hope the little girl liked her birthday card!
