Don't you just love the unicorn trend going on right now? I think we all like those magical, whimsical creatures and the adorable cards you can make with them.
I found this cutie in the Craftin' Desert Divas digital section and thought it was so sweet and would make a wonderful card for a special little girl I know. The image is called Be a Unicorn and you also get the sentiment which is so perfect. I decided to make it into a shaker card and used Kennedy Grace's Pink Champagne sequins mix plus I added a few of the pretty Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals. After colouring the unicorn and stars, I cut them out, added Stickles and placed them on the card, using some pop up dots with the unicorn.
I tried a different method with this shaker than I normally use and I am much happier with it. This time, I cut several layers of cardstock, glued them together and then added them to the front of the card. I used to use a couple layers of foam but this is much more sturdy and looks cleaner and neater too.
Have a happy & magical unicorn day!

Oh Marilyn, this is just so adorably sweet! I really love how you've coloured the unicorn with it's two tone mane and tail. Gorgeous paper and shaker elements choice. The sentiment is so cute too. She'll absolutely love her card :). Debra x
I'm loving this gorgeous little unicorn Marilyn... and your fabulous colouring of him! I've not heard of those digis, but I think I'll be buying from them soon! Your card design is perfection - and of course, I have a weakness for shaker cards at the mo, so it ticks all my boxes!
