A Sparkly Unicorn Card for a Very Special Three-Year-Old

 My littlest granddaughter turned three on the 1st of July, and she had us all smiling in the lead-up to the big day. When we asked her when her birthday was, she confidently replied, “One of July and I’ll be three, but I’m only two now.” Such a character!

For her birthday card, I knew a unicorn would be just right. I found some sweet inspiration on Pinterest, chose a cute image, and printed it ready to turn into something magical.

I die cut the unicorn using a decorative frame, then added a little ink blending in soft greens and blues to give the background some colour. The sentiment came from a Gina K set, and I finished the card with a glittery die cut number three. Of course, no unicorn card would be complete without shimmer, so I added plenty of sparkle pen to make it extra special.

The birthday girl loved it, which is always the best part. We took the card over on Sunday along with her present—a little tea set—which was also very much approved of.

I totally enjoy taking part in the monthly Card Chain Challenge (CCC) - I get to send a card to someone and then receive one as well.  Win-Win if you ask me.  

So January, I got to send a card to Jutta in Canada.  I chose to use the Theme - Unicorns

I used some PP that already had the unicorn printed on it.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment from a Catherine Pooler set and added some sequins, and Sparkle pen and called my card Done!

I've been doing some more colouring and have now finished the January Kit and Clowder class image - apart from some highlighting around the image.

Reasonably happy with the results.  Not sure I got the horse shadows quite right... but will try again at a later stage. 

Take care and thanks for stopping by.
