I purchased this sweet
Unicorn digi years ago from Bugaboo Stamps and was saddened when the company
closed during COVID. It is one of my favorite Unicorn digis. For this card, I created
the background with and upcycled calendar page and scraps of blue papers. The
sentiment is computer-generated, and sparkles were added to the main and tail
with a Silver Stardust gel pen. (Note, on the
calendar page that I used, there is a pastel rainbow across the sky. For some
reason my lighting is turning it into a bright glare in my photo. The lighting
also shows folds in the blue paper used in the background, which I barely noticed
until I took this photo. Hmmm, cardmaking is my “gig”. Being a photographer is definitely
NOT!)

I purchased several gift bags on the Christmas
Clearance rack a few years ago mainly because they were so sparkly!! When they
resurfaced when decluttering, I decided to trim them into A2 sized pieces and file
them away with my Christmas supplies. But first, I made a card for the current
challenge at the ABC Christmas Challenge- L is for lights!' My cards usually take hours to create… but I
clocked this beauty “done” at 20 minutes! Supplies:
·
Christmas lights- upcycled from a gift bag from the local Dollar Tree (sparkly
ones on front of bag, plain ones on sides)
·
Front Sentiment “Merry
and Bright”- from a Beccy’s Place Digi
Set (Christmas Cardinals)
·
Inside Sentiment- “Wishing You a Bright and
Happy Christmas” from a Beccy’s Place
Digi Set (Jingle Bells)

This Father’s Day Card
features a stamp that I purchased back when I was making cards for members of
our military through Operation Write Home. Since I live in a state where Harley
Davidson Motorcycles reign, I use it quite often. I gave the cycle an
impression of speed by stamping it with black ink on glossy cardstock. Then,
while the ink is still wet, I gently pull my index finger across the ink from
the front of the motorcycle to trail behind it. I then added additional
details to the image with a red marker, and white and silver gel pens. I added an additional sign of movement by cutting an arrow from a red scrap of paper and adhered the motorcycle onto it. Cutting a circle from the starry paper further helped to draw attention to the cycle, plus allowed me to enter the card into a few circle themed challenges.
A bit of history- I grew
up in a Harley Davidson-loving family. My dad and two brothers were mechanics,
so we had several Harleys! I loved the feeling of speed, but it also scared me.
So, I preferred to be on the back of the bike, or in the side-car, flying down
the road, feeling the wind- and often bugs-on our faces! Zoomzoom!)
