#TGIFC153 - March Madness - Anything Goes!

Hey! It's Thursday night/Friday morning at midnight and that means we've got another amazing challenge for you over at TGIF Challenges! This is a really good one too so you might want to play along with us. The theme is March Madness and anything goes this week (yes, that's right, make anything you want to)! I took this opportunity to mix and match some of the random things I had sitting on my desk to make a card. I watercolored this unicorn months ago and smooched that background weeks ago. Unfortunately, this is the nature of my desk... I have half-finished crafty things all over the place and I've been thinking lately that I should really make an effort to get all these fun pieces onto cards.

The unicorn was watercolored with Pacific Point and Melon Mambo inks with Daffodil Delight for the horn. I cannot remember what colors I used on the background although it appears to be Melon Mambo, Pacific Point... and maybe something else thrown int there. I'm sorry that I can't remember exactly what I did but on that day I went on a background making rampage and ended up with a bunch of different backgrounds of unknown color combos. The sentiment is from Fairy Celebrations and is just perfect with this unicorn.

That's all I've got for today folks but if you've got a second then head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the design team has made to share with you today. With an anything goes theme the projects are sure to be amazing! Another cool thing for this week is that if you decide to play along you can case any design team member that you want! Have fun!

Have an amazing day you all! See you back here soon!

Fat Unicorn!

Not long ago I spent a little time having fun making backgrounds. I sponged, I spritzed, I watercolored... I just had fun creating without any purpose besides having fun. This is one of the backgrounds I made and it seemed just perfect for one of these fat unicorns from the Myths & Magic set.

I used just two colors (plus Daffodil Delight on the horn) for this whole unicorn. I used Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo. I love how these two colors blend so beautifully together to make such a range of colors. I used more ink on the main and tail than I did on the body of the unicorn. On the body I started out with a very light wash of Tempting Turquoise and and then add a small amount of Melon Mambo to the areas that I wanted some highlighting in. It gave a pinky-purpley color that I like.

I added some die cut stars or "magic bursts" cut out of silver glimmer paper. Then I added White twine and some washi tape and called this card done. Sometimes when you have a pretty background and a fat unicorn it's a good idea to stop before you overdo it. 

I hope you like my card today. Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back tonight with a card for this week's TGIFChallenges and I hope you'll come back to check it out. That's it for now but thanks so much for stopping by. As always, if you want to make your own fat unicorn cards and need to buy the stamp set... I'm your girl. Let me know if you need some help or have any questions. Otherwise, if you prefer to shop on your own, feel free to click the link below and have some fun!

Have an awesome day!
