Blossoming Wreath

Use a 4" x 4" square of watercolour paper and Gina K's wreath builder to stamp the floral wreath. I used Marvy and Tombow Markers. When the wreath is complete use water and a brush to get a watercolour effect. (Video tutorials on this effect here, here and here)
On separate paper use a stamping platform (such as Misti or Tim Holtz) to stamp a butterfly/ dragonfly in light grey marker. You may need to stamp it a few times due to texture of paper/ lightness of marker. Colour with Zig Clean color pens and water. For the dragonfly, add glitter and let dry. For the butterfly add fine detail with purple Zig marker but don't add water. Cut them both out and adhere in a pleasing manner. Matt onto card stock and a square ivory card.

Uniquely Unicorns

I had a lot of fun making this card and envelope using stamps from Uniquely Creative and Gina K. 

I started with a 4" x 4" square of X-press it cardstock. I stamped the centre circle from Gina K's wreath builder stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I then used her wreath builder template to make the rest of the design using Uniquely Creative's Stay Unique Unicorn set and the heart from the Wreath Builder stamp set. The sparkles were stamped with Memento ink in Teal Zeal, Grape Jelly, Danube Blue, Bahama Blue. These were then coloured with Copic markers. 

The edges of the paper were sponged with Tim Holtz's Distress Oxides in Peacock Feather and Wilted Violet. 

I cut the centre circle (I used a Sizzix circle die, but any the right size would do) from Stick It paper that had previously been adhered to cardstock. Peel off the adhesive and cover the sticky side with ultra fine glitter in the colour of your choice.  Glue or tape runner the circle to the middle of the stamped one.  

Stamp the unicorn from Uniquely Creative's set on separate cardstock using Memento black ink. Colour using Copic markers. Fussy cut and adhere over your glitter circle.  My square was then mounted onto purple and mint cardstock. 

Affix the square to a glitter card (I got mine from Michaels). The sentiment from the set was filled using Deco teal foil and a Minc Machine. Sponge with Distress Oxides.

The envelope was created the same way,  also using a confetti stencil from Echo Park and Prismacolor pencils to colour the unicorn.
