Your Next Stamp Featured Fav of 2016 (Magical Unicorn)

Welcome to the year ending Your Next Stamp feature post. Most months the design team will use specific stamps, dies or themes to create projects to inspire. 

For the final feature post of the year, we are doing something a little different. This month the design team is featuring our favourite YNS creation from 2016.

This was not an easy task. There was so many fun creations to  select from. I enlisted the help of my children to narrow down choices. Our final winner, was the first card I made using the Magical Unicorn stamp and die. On this card, I think it was a combination of this amazing stamp and the fun distress ink background which I truly love so much.

You can find the original post for this card here!

Here are a few other projects using this stamp:

Your Next Stamp March Sneak Peek - Magical Unicorn

It's preview time at Your Next Stamp!

I am very excited to share with you a preview of one of the amazing new stamps sets that is part of the March release for Your Next Stamp. All of the new release stamps will be available soon. If you cannot way and want to getting a peek at more of this month's stamps and maybe start your wish list, checkout today's peeks.

The full list of preview projects can be found on the Your Next Stamp blog.

My preview project features the Magical Unicorn stamp and die set. Having two little girls, unicorns are one of the mythical creatures that are very much loved in our household. I had a lot of fun using my distress inks to create the background.

The background was created using a mixture of Distress Inks. I started off adding Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint and Mermaid Lagoon on the background cardstock in various spots. Once the background was fully covered I darkened the outside end and in towards the center using Faded Jeans. Finally to darken the edge of my background further I added Black Soot ink.

For the little glittery splatters, I used a small tip paint brush to flick on some Perfect Pearls Mist.

The unicorn was coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoy the previews for the Your Next Stamp March release. Remember to check out all of the previews from the design team. The complete list of previews is available on the Your Next Stamp blog.
