Jane Davenport | Unicorn Sparkle

Hi everyone, it's Jenny here - Happy National Craft Month! I hope you've all had a chance to get crafty this weekend but the month is still young, and there's plenty of time if you didn't!

Today I'm joining you with a sparkly card using the Spellbinders/Jane Davenport Unicorn Sparkle stamp set. I just love the sketch look of this set and I'm a sucker for anything with Unicorns on it!

This card was super simple to create. I started with an A2 panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock and using a cloud stencil, I created a very subtle ink blended pink cloud background. I left it to dry a little and then treated it with my powder tool. I then heat embossed the Unicorn in metallic silver embossing powder. The clouds do show through but are very subtle and we'll be covering it up shortly.

I colored the Unicorn in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in pinks and blue greys for the mane and tail. I also added a layer of Clear Wink of Stella over its body for the sparkle. The sentiment was stamped in the top directly onto the panel in light grey pigment ink.

To complement the sketchy look of the Unicorn, I stamped the star from the set several times on the background using the same pink ink, but stamped it off onto scrap paper first to get a pale color. 

I then added some spatters of the grey ink with a paintbrush and some water and dabbed them off with a paper towel before they dried.




As a finishing touch I added a pink gem to the Unicorn's eye and backed the entire panel to a white notecard. You can check out the other supplies I used over on my blog.   Have a great day all!
