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.

Your card is magical and is beautifully designed!! love it!!
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.
