Good Morning all, i hope you've had a good week.
Today is my Niece Alice's 3rd Birthday, She is Unicorn and Flamingo mad so i had to make cards with them on. Purple is also her favourite colour. So we have purple flamingos which she always calls 'Mingo's'
I first die cut a dark purple spellbinders labels 1 die cut, approx 6x6" in size and folded it in half. I then die cut the next size down from white card and the next size down from this fabulous purple pattern paper. I thought it had a bit of a tropical feel.
I then die cut a smaller scalloped labels 1 and added it to the front with foam tape. I die cut 3 'Mingo's' from card coloured with violet oxide ink and purple pixie powder. I added these to the front.
Computer printed sentiments die cut into circles. I added touches of glitter glue to the background flowers - what little girl doesn't love glitter.
Showing it stood up. Only the bottom half of the white panel is glued to the purple base.
A close up of the purple Mingo's, i had also cut 2nd wings for them and shaped before adding to the body.

and onto the second card i made - yep Unicorns.
The glitter unicorn is actually a sticker i found in a discount store, i used a purple pen on his mane, horn and tail.
White die cut stepper card, i then die cut a cloudy sky paper and added to the front. I turned the circle birthday sentiment into a shaker pouch. I added orange card behind to act as the sun, i filled it with orange micro beads and silver glitter. I added this to the cardfront and then added the unicorn.
I die cut 'Alice & 3' with alpha dies from silver glitter card and purple card and offset, The number 3 i mounted onto a white circle and then silver circle.
Lots of tiny butterflies cut from orange card.
