Ooh..I love this. I’m really into unicorns at the moment as I’m busy making Unicorn wands for our village fete stall so I’m sure I’ll manage something magical.
This you Elaine looking forward to seeing your wands later
I have a friend card to make for birthday she not into unicorns but sure I can come up with something
Thanks Nat
Ooh very clever Elaine . Loving all the pink, and those eyelashes are so lovely.
Nothing wrong with the bow !! Like the delicate pretty stems and pink buttons.

Thank you Ellie. It was Pinterest inspired. I hand drew the horn and wrapped sparkly cotton round it, then drew the ears and used some gold packaging I’d been hoarding, did the same with some white card but smaller for the ears. The eyelashes are a crescent cut using a circle die twice, then I drew the eyelashes on. I will probably do some more of these for the fete as ‘noonicorns’ are so popular these days

Good grief you've been busy Elaine. Love the unicorn cards, really cute. I love all the button cards but my absolute favourite (not that you asked my opinion but you're getting it anyway) is the last one. I love the freshness of the green ribbon and yeloow buttons and goes so beautifully with the green stamped image. They are all really pretty though.
Now I am going to ask your opinions, I may not take it but I'll ask anyway. these prompts have tied in so well with some new frame dies that I've bought. I've been after them for ages but had to wait until they came down to a reasonable price. also I have found probably my favourite ever border die. It is going on the wedding album when I get round to it of course. So, I've been making a card for my sister and I have found numerous way to use these die but I'm not sure which one to go with so I've taken two photo's, nothing is glued down yet and I will be making both cards and more eventually - but, which should I send to my sister. Trying to get a photo of this gorgeous glitter card which is a pale brushed gold was so hard. So what do you think ladies, hubby is saying either will do he likes them both.
Thanks Susie.. I like the one with the green ribbon too. I’ve made another three more this afternoon, using buttons but patterned paper background behind the white. I’ve had the stem stamps for ages and never used them. I think it’s going to one of my favourites for quick cards now. I’ve made 11 today..three unicorn ones and the rest variations on the button cards. All for the fete of course.
Personally I love the ‘Special one’..although..and I’m going to sound like hubby now, either will suffice as they are both beautiful.
