You're Awesome...

I love a good old "Anything Goes" challenge.  The Paper Smooches Sparks challenge has one going on right now.  Since I'm not quite over my new Paper Smooches set "Spectrum".  I decided to use that unicorn again.  This time I paper pieced it and added a little distress ink to give it a little bit of a loved stuffed animal affect.  My son has some very well loved stuffed animals and they inspired me for this card.

I've been really using my heat gun lately.  I use some Zing! embossing powder in opaque white to make the sentiment pop!

New techniques are always fun but, heat embossing is going to always going to be one of my favorites.

Gallop on little unicorn...gallop on! 

I Believe in Unicorns...

I sat in my studio with the intention of making a very sophisticated card.  I wanted it to be elegant...stately even.  Then, I took a look at one of my new Paper Smooches purchases, Spectrum, and I instantly knew I was making an ultra girly unicorn card.

Hell, I believe in unicorns.  Metaphorically speaking.  I believe in the impossible, the unfathomable...  So, this is a tribute card to my inner 10 year old, magic believing, Lisa Frank loving, friendship bracelet making, singing into the hairbrush, wedding dress sketching, down-down baby, down by the roller coaster chanting self.

I'm entering this beaut into the Virginia's View Die Cut challenge.  I used the coordinating Spectrum Icon dies and I LOVE the outcome!

Details...

I believe.
