Putting It Together

The background die cut for this card actually made two cards, one for the positive and one for the negative. The other card is Love You: http://rijacki.blogspot.com/2017/08/love-you.html

I wanted some texture in the die cut background so I started with a stencil. I used the Circular Lace stencil with Cosmic Shimmer on a white panel.

The lace pattern is gorgeous with a bit of texture.

I ran the stenciled panel through the Big Shot with the Floating Hearts background die.

I separated this into the negative and positive. The negative I used on another card.

I dry fit the floating hearts on the blue panel.

I used a box to contain the splattering.

I tapped the brush with paint with the back of another brush to splatter Distress paint and stain drops on the blue panel: Mermaid Lagoon paint, Picket Fence paint, Tarnished Brass stain, and Brushed Pewter stain.

The splattered panel.

Floating hearts dry fit over the splattered panel.

I embossed the unicorn with silver and then painted the mane, tail, and hooves with Pink Gumball Perfect Pearls.

I die cut "Happy Birthday" from silver and white and ran them through the Xyron. I used the bone folder to rub the adhesive.

I stacked the silver on the white to give a little dimension and a slight drop shadow.

I added the unicorn with foam mounting tape and added a cupcake and enamel dots. I clipped off the shank of the button to allow it to sit flatter on the card and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

Inside the card I stamped the cloud burst and sentiment from the same set using Simon Says Stamp hybrid cubes.
