Challenge 111 At Glitter N Sparkle

So Sorry,
that the post is late.
We went to my Folks last weekend
for a visit before my Mum went to Canada.
So now this week I'm playing catch up,
so please bear with me lol.

The Theme at 

Glitter n Sparkle was:-

Cute

Our Sponsors were:-

 Bugaboo

Di's Digi Downloads 

Stitchy Bear Stamps 

My Project for this

week is:-

Unicorn Digi Stamp

from Bugaboo

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I used Pre-Cut
Purple Square Card (14cm)

(stash)
which has a 1cm Glitter Boarder.

Then I printed off the Image

3x on White DC Paper

and coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                         Horse -        Lavender

                                            Lilac

                                            Amethyst

                                            Maroon
                                            Slate
                                            Cool Grey 4 (Hooves)
                         Flowers -     Maroon
                                            Apple

                         Grass -        Grass

                                               

  

Once finished I Die-Cut the 1st Image
using Majestic Squares
(Spellbinders).
Then using a Sponge and my Lilac Promarker
I distressed the edge of the Die-Cut.
For the 2nd Image I just cut out the Unicorn, 

and for the 3rd Image just the Head .
Then I decoupaged them up to make it 3D.

Next I made up the Bouquet using 
2 Large White, 1 Large Purple,
3 Small Lilac and 2 Small Cream
Paper Roses.
Tied them all together and 
wrapped the stems with
Purple Glitter Ribbon
(Ribbon Craft).

Next using White Glitter Ribbon
(Dovecraft)
I Handmade a Bow,
and added a decorative 
Bubble Pearl Gem
(stash)
to the middle.

For my Sentiment I used an
'Especially for you' Purple Topper
that I had in my 'Lil' Stash Box.
(the box of odds n ends that you always end up with)

I added some Pearl Diamond
Spray + Sparkle Spray
(Crafters Companion)
to add sparkle to the Unicorn.
Then I accentuated it 
by adding Holographic Silver to the Hooves,
Multi-Mix Pink/Blue to the Mane and Tail,
Chameleon Flakes to the Horn,
and Iridescent Mauve Pink around the 
Distressed Ink on the Die-cut.

(All loose glitter from Glitter Magic).

And to finish off I used 
Holographic Vinyl Flowers,
with 6mm Flat-backed Ivory Pearls

(both from stash).

New Challenge #109 at Glitter N Sparkle

Wow was that a week 

Well it doesn't seem like 
2 minutes since last week.
Things seem to be picking up
a bit for me now.

The medication is working but making me
incredibly sleepy,
I keep falling asleep at the weirdest times,
then when I want to go to sleep at bed time
its just not happening
(typical).
And the Physiotherapy isn't as bad 
as I thought it would be.
But give it time 
I got a feeling they're 
just being nice because its so painful.

Here is a Cutesy Thanksgiving Shaker Card.

The Theme at

week is:-

Happy Turkey Digi Stamp

from QKR Stampede

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I used a Pre-Cut Flower White Card,
with 2 Petal Fronts.

(stash)

Then I backed 1 of the Petal Fronts
with a Blue/Coral Flower Paper
(stash).
And using a Large Circle Die-Cut
(Sizzix)'
Cut out the Center.
Then put Clear Acetate
(stash)
on the back to make a Window.

Then I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

and coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                                Turkey -   Yellow (Beak, Claws)

                                                Mustard (Beak, Claws)

                                                Cinnamon

                                                Shale

I then cut the Image out 
in a rough 12cm Circle,
and backed it onto the remaining 
White Petal Front.

Then using Decoupage Tape 
(2 high)
I backed the Flower Window onto 
the Image with the petals off-set
from the White ones.
Putting Clear AB Round Plastic Beads,
in the center to make it 
a Shaker Card.

On the Inside of the Main Card,
(which becomes the Base when its 
Folded and all Stuck together)
I covered it with Crisp Cantaloupe Card
(Stampin' Up!)
and cut to the Card Shape.

For the Sentiment
I used the reverse Circle 
of the Blue Flower Paper
and cut out a Half Flower,
and using White Card
(stash)
cut out a slightly Smaller one.
On the White one I used a 
'So Thankful' Clear Stamp
(Holiday Cheer - Stampin' Up!)

To finish off my Card,

I added 3mm Blue Pearls to the 
Points of the Base,
and 3mm Coral Pearls to the
Points and Dips of the Half Flower

(Both from Anita's).
And finally I added around 
inside of the window
