Whimsy Inspiration - Unicorn Magic

Hi Everyone!

Here is a card I made for Whimsy Stamps DT, using the Unicorn Magic rubber stamp by Kirsten Winkelbauer.

I've also used the Over the Rainbow digital papers by Tracy Wray, Double Scallop Doily Die,  'Birthday, Wishes and Magical Word Die' Set, Banner Sentiments Dies and Summer Breeze Enamel Dots. All these great products are available at Whimsy Stamps. 

I coloured the image with Copic markers, die-cut into a circle, and framed with the double scallop doily die. I adhered the die-cut sentiments onto a banner die and attached across the bottom of the image using 3D foam tape.

I finished with some Whimsy Stamps Summer Breeze Enamel Dots and a few flowers.

Hope you like it!
