You are Magical

Hi there,

it's time for the Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Regenbogen/Rainbow". I used the Paperie Ink Magical Unicorn stamp set on my project:

• stamp one of the unicorns from the Paperie Ink Magical Unicorn set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• add some sparkle with a Stardust gel pen
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid
• create a background using the Clearly Besotted Stamps Splat it stencil and leftover ink on your Blending Brushes
• use an Action Wobbler to adhere the unicorn to the panel
• add strips of patterned paper to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
