Day 13. A Little Sparkle & a Giveaway

challenge_graphic-650-october

Hello Friends,  How are you? Are you getting tired of my daily posts? I sure hope not 🙂

IMG_8943

Instagram is where I saw this super fun horse that has a unicorn option in the stamp set. It’s called “Magical” from Waffle Flower and I was so delighted when it appeared in my mail box. I filmed a video coloring the horse but, deleted it from the computer & the camera accidentally! Pretty stupid and lesson learned.

IMG_8942

It’s pretty easy to get cotton candy color schemes like yesterdays birds and this horse with Copic markers or another medium for that matter. 🙂

I embossed the word Magical and stamped on top of the embossing in black ink.

IMG_8930

I stamped another wing on this super luscious vellum. When I cut the wing I left a tab on it so it would  be easy to glue the wings together & on the horse. Often I will cut a strip of paper for extra reinforcement to put on top of the glossy accents.

IMG_8931

Any magical horse or unicorn calls for lots of sparkle. Rock candy is my favorite because it gives you so much texture.

IMG_8932

The background was created with this brick stencil and three distress inks. I have a card makeover using this stencil tomorrow and I think you will like the contrast.

THE GIVEAWAY: A goodie bag from me including a stamp and die from Waffle Flower. A random winner will be picked on Oct. 20th.


Loving all of the art and coloring that you guys are uploading on my blog and Instagram. Thanks for making the challenge so much fun. See you tomorrow for the card make over! Hugs, Kathy

    I could never get bored with your posts, Kathy. They are a perfect relief during busy days and a perfect opportunity to take a small break. Love the soft colours of your card today and the added sparkle.
    I actually managed a little colouring last night and was thinking of adding some irridescent embossing powder to some area, but maybe I should dig up my never before used jar of Rock candy from my drawers and use that instead.

    Truly magical–love it! So clever with the vellum wing. And no, you are not stupid for deleting your video, that sort of thing happens, you’re just too busy. That is always my excuse–too much multi-tasking makes us inefficient sometimes. I have no idea how you do all that you do! Beware-I finally took a bunch of photo’s of all I’ve been coloring this month, keep forgetting to send photo’s.

  47. Michele says

Will have to give it a go, it looks so soft and pretty. Been seeing the brick wall stencil used a bit lately, must be one I need lol. Keep up the good work Kathy it is very appreciated.
