Magical Mates stamp set and co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit dies – OMG I think I have died and gone to heaven and the gorgeous little unicorn image just cried out for the addition of a rainbow.

I began by die cutting 3 layers of cloud using the Rainbow Builder Framelits and panels of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 4”, 4” by 3½” and 4” by 2”.  I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Day stamp set onto the smallest panel in Archival Basic Gray Ink and set it aside to dry.

Taking a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cute ‘unicorn’ image in Archival Basic Gray Ink. I coloured the mane and tail of the unicorn using Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant Marker Pens. Using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Pen I added some shading to the body of the unicorn softening the edges with the Colour Lifter. I added the hooves using the Dark Smoky Slate Pen. After colouring I die cut the unicorn using the co-ordinating Magical Mates dies.

Using the Rainbow Builder Framelit dies I die cut each layer of the rainbow from a different colour starting with Daffodil Delight and moving through Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant. I found it easier to adhere the layers of the rainbow to a strip of Whisper White starting with the smallest piece. This also gave the rainbow some stability.

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” I positioned the rainbow and clouds roughly where I wanted them, trimming them down if I needed too. When I was happy with the placement I started gluing them down beginning with the rainbow which was adhered with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tallest layer of cloud was then added with Tombow. The 2^nd layer of cloud was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the unicorn was glued onto the layer using Tombow. The smallest cloud layer with the stamped sentiment was then added with Tombow.

I glued the whole piece to a Rich Razzelberry card base and finished off by covering the clouds in Clear Wink of Stella. Gorgeous, I love it and I know just who to give this card too.
