September 8th Stay Crafty @Home Blog Hop with LeighSBDesigns!

 

This is a 2 month long "Anything Goes" hop that ends September 25th at 11:55pm pacific!  Leigh's blog hops are stress free...you play when you want and how much you want!  All the details are HERE at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!  The linky party is there, too! 😉  I bought the awesome Creative Stamping magazine a couple of weeks ago and it had tons of freebie stamps plus digital downloads from many, many companies.  This little sparkly unicorn (17 free digital images and papers in total!) is from Polkadoodles!

Nikky, the designer, gave some fab inspiration projects in the magazine and I drew on those for this make.  I splattered Arteza watercolors on a piece of mixed media paper.....drying between colors.  I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils before cutting with a rectangle die.  I fussy cut another copy of the image for the flower, horn, end of the die cut machine, and the glue bottles with paper stack.  I adhered them with foam squares.  Some Nuvo pen shimmers for the flower, horn, and her hair gave her just the right amount of sparkle!  I put some gloss medium on her eyelashes, scissors, labels, and parts of the die cut machine.  A white gel pen and some glitter were the finishing touches.  The paper behind the sentiment was also included in the free downloads!  I popped everything up on some foam strips and added some purple bling.  I edged with wilted violet Distress Ink.  Whew!  I gotta shortened these posts!  Happy Tuesday and see ya tomorrow!
