I Love You-nicorn

Hiya

Ok, I admit it. I am a bit obsessed with this unicorn image. So I decided to make a Valentines card with it. I'm not entirely sure the sentiment works, but I still like it!

The unicorns are coloured with smooshed inks again, and I used a Wink of Stella pen and a gelly roll pen to add the shimmer and sparkle.

Oxides and Woodware Trees

Hi! I just bought a few more colours of Distress Oxides, as I am completely besotted with them! I've been making backgrounds with them, spritzing with some Glimmer Mist, then paper piecing them onto cards - much more fun than colouring! I'm not a huge fan of fussy cutting, but I love the end result. I finished them off with a glitter pen and Nuvo Drops.

Here are a few I have made with one of my favourite Woodware stamps:

Autumn Flowers

Hi! Here's a card I made by die cutting some backgrounds I made with Distress Oxides. I love the Autumnal colours! I'm still getting the hang of die cutting, and I'm not sure if I've overdone it a bit, but it looked too plain with just the two large flowers. So I added some smaller leaves and small flowers, to try to create a bit of undergrowth. I usually add gems to the centre of flowers, but I went with pearls, as their softer look worked better with the colours.
