Good morning and Happy Friday!!  Jess here with a bright and sparkly card featuring a really cute set from Lawn Fawn!

I’m still as annoyed with the hot weather as I was last week but I’m trying to channel tropical islands instead of hot, humid Virginia! 😉

To start I stamped the flamingos from Lawn Fawn’s Flamingo Together with copic-friendly Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I colored the plumage of the male flamingo with RV13, RV14, and RV25 and the female flamingo with RV21, RV23, and RV04.  I colored their beaks with N0, N3, and N6 and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next I blended Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, and Dried Marigold distress inks onto a piece of Ranger watercolor cardstock to create my sky.  I knew my flamingos were going to stand on a island so I die-cut the Stitched Hillside Borders with black cardstock and traced the edge onto my background panel.  Then  I stamped the palm trees onto the background panel with versafine to get a nice, dark impression.

I decided it needed a little more sparkle so I pressed my versamark pad ALL over the background panel and embossed it with holographic embossing powder.  Look at that sparkle!!

I stamped the sentiment from Flamingo Together onto the island with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before adhering it to the background panel with foam mounting tape.  I added a little foam mounting tape behind the body of my flamingos and regular liquid adhesive to their legs and adhered them over the island.  Finally I stamped the heart with versamark, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, die-cut it, and added it over their heads with foam mounting tape.

Still not a fan of summer…but I think I could hang out on this island and not complain too much! 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning!  Jess here with a sparkly card featuring the adorable unicorn from Mama Elephant!

First I stamped and heat-embossed my unicorn from Mama Elephant’s Unicorns and Rainbows with silver embossing powder and then colored him with zig clean color real brush markers!  I wanted to get a rainbow look so I scribbled a tiny bit of each color along the mane, tail, and hooves and the blended it together with a wink of stella clear glitter brush for a super sparkly look.  I apologize for the darker photo…it was difficult to photograph the embossing powder up-close.

Next I die-cut the unicorn and set him aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

Next I die-cut the rainbow from Rainbow High and then colored each arch with copic markers (R22, R12, Y11, YG11, B00, BV01, V12).  I used lighter shades to create a soft pastel rainbow.  Then I covered the rainbow with my wink of stella clear glitter brush!  Again, not a great photo here but you can see all that shimmery, sparkly goodness! 😉

I die-cut the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders with vellum and white cardstock and then covered the vellum with more wink of stella clear glitter.  I stamped the sentiment from Unicorns and Rainbows onto the top cloud layer and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  Next I layered all the elements on the bottom half of my card panel using a combination of foam mounting tape and regular adhesive for a little dimension.  Finally to finish the card, I added a few silver sparkly stars from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous day filled with unicorns and rainbows! 🙂
