Make a wish unicorn card (The Greeting Farm stamps)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How lucky was I to win last month's The Greeting Farm's $50 gift voucher prize! So I went ahead and bought a few gorgeous unicorn stamps and some lovely sentiment stamps and dies. This whole set comes from The Greeting Farm and I used a Lawn Fawn frame die. I popped all the little details onto foam tape. For the unicorn's mane I used a mixture of teal and yellow copics.

Ice cream delivered with love (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This little girl with her over-sized ice cream is a bit cute isn't she? The image comes from Bugaboo. I used some texture paste and a stencil to create the background pattern, while it was wet I added some glitter to it then once dry I lightly hairsprayed it (apparently this can help with glitter staying put). Very clean and simple card for me, I coloured the image ages ago but hadn't got around to creating with it until now.

Red and Black Male Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm back with another masculine card, I've been trying to add more masculine cards to my stash as about 1 in 30 cards I make are for boys/men lol. I used a sunburst stencil and texture paste for this card. Once the paste was dry I inked the Fired Brick distress ink on the bottom level then placed the stencil back on to protect the red while I inked the raised areas in black.
