Link in the chain — October

It’s reveal day at Card Chain Challenge. Mine went to Imke in Germany this time. 

From the options on offer I chose the colour palette, the theme of mythical beasts and I used a brush when I created the background. It’s my usual one layer creation for CCC and I think the unicorn stamp is bold enough not to need much else. 
 
I brushed ink over a stencil to create the background, stamped the clouds and added some silvery shimmer to them and an ink "shadow" underneath to accentuate them. Oh, I used a second sort of brush for that bit!
 
A rounded corner, doodled border, grounding under the unicorn's hooves and a few dots of Enamel Accents in the centre of the sparkle stamp and call it done.

Stamps:
Believe in Unicorns (Visible Image)

Paper:
Bristol board 

Ink:

Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar)
Shadow ink by Hero Arts (Soft Granite)

  6. I was a unicorn freak many decades ago before it became a "thing". I was relegated to stickers and mugs and cards-unless I got to a renaissance festival...I have since given most of it away. Just a few interesting pieces left.

    Long way of saying of course I love this card. I really like the stars inside the unicorn which I know is a mini "look" for that company. I have to check if I have that stamp. I should.

    hugs Margot
