My latest project is a card for the BFF's daughter. I originally wanted to create a unicorn card, because the birthday girl loves unicorns, but I don't have any unicorn items. I did however, have a zebra - close enough right? I got distracted by a technique I wanted to try which didn't work out - I tried adding coloured glitter and microbeads to embossing mousse (they didn't show through sadly). I fixed it by sprinkling glitter over the still wet embossing mousse. Then I got distracted by a mermaid theme as it suited the stencil I used. I don't have mermaids either so I fussy cut some from some patterned paper. Those who know me, know I hate fussy cutting #itmustbelove . The final project is not my best work but it will do:
On the inside I wrote a special birthday message and covered it with a scratch off sticker. Hopefully I am not encouraging gambling by doing that!
When I saw the birthday girl last week and told her I already bought her present and made her card she wanted to know if there was a unicorn on her card, because she loooooooves unicorns! Sigh. So I had to try and add one in of course. The only space left was on the back and I still only had the zebra shape:
I hope the birthday girl likes her card with a zebra dressed as a unicorn (or a unicorn in a zebra outfit - whatever works).
