FLYING UNICORN - KIT OF THE MONTH - SUNSET DREAMS


FLYING UNICORN



















Now for a couple of mine
The first one os of my little Girl Bella....
I used the gorgeous kaiser papers, and embellies from the kit
and added a piece of lace from a previous kit


My OTP is a gift, so made it to specifications,
I used the beautful blue toned embellies and flowers from the kit
to produce a album for a surfy girl!

as you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE tags and ATC's
so here are a few that I made using the gorgeous embellies
and papers from the kit.....
I so love the little sparrows!

This next tag I used a little set of chippy gates, and gave it a secret garden type feel!



The OTP project is using the MDF fence pailing set from Kaiser and the beautiful papers
in my FUL kit.....this is going straight on the wall.



Here is a Tim Holtz clock I received as a gift, so I made a little garden
with a sparrow and her nest!


and  a couple more tags.....


and here are a couple of ATC's and one last tag.



I hope I have inspired some of you and I hope that you go get yourself a kit fast, they sell out fairly quickly
and you wont want to miss out!

FLYING UNICORN MIXED MEDIA MUSE -

Hello Ladies Mish here I want to share with you my mixed media canvas's I created with my Mixed media add on and my June kit Ray of Magic.......I love how they turned out and I hope you agree that I did Miss EK justice!!!!!    

LIST OF INGREDIENTS

Plain canvas - I amde from the mixed media kit
using the black cardboard and canvas piece.
gesso
Adhesive - I used PVA, and Helmar 450.
Mod Podge
embellishments
mists, sprays, paints and inks
brushes
imagination




For this canvas I took a my home made  canvas, and gesso'd it even though it had been done already.

then I started to place my embellishiments, putting them where I wanted them and glueing them down.
I used
Flying Unicorn Adornments - youll find them in the FUL store
modelling paste
lace and trim - from the June kit and from the FUL store...

Once you have all the embellies where you want them glue them down and gesso everything!!!!!
so much fun I love getting gesso everywhere!!!!!
then leave to dry, completely! 1 hour or so in full sun!

then its time for the extra fun part, the mists, sprays and inks!!!!!! grubby work, but someone has to do it!
Lindys flat fabio inks and firework mists - all from the FUL store
Dylusions inks - from the FUL store


When your spraying with your mists and inks, dont worry if it looks faint, I thought Id ruined it, it was so light
as it dried.....but Once your inks dry and you paint on a final layer of Mod Podge, over every inch, your colours will come alive!!!!!! I even sprintzed inks and mists over the mod podge as it dried.....giving the colour extra umph!!!!!

Then after i finished my Unicorn Garden I thought hmmmmmm Miss EK, havent scrapped her for a while
so got out a gorgeous steampunky photo Jen had sent me and gave her the FUL Mixed media treatment!!!!!!

isnt she CUTE!!!!!!!!!

I certanly hope you all give this a try, its easy, messy and so much fun!!!!!!!!

Laugh, hug smile and do something crazy everyday
See you round the scrappy table!!!!!

Layers of Vintage

Hello Ladies and welcome to my first post here at Flying Unicorn, Id like to share with you today a couple of layouts I have been working on......

When I saw the graphic 45 paper French Country I loved it at first sight, but wasnt sure what to do with it.
Then my mother had a good idea. She wanted an album with all the photos of our fur babies, past and present in it. This picture is of digger, our rabbit. He is now past, he wondered into our yard one day and stayed. Tiger ( bubbachooka) didnt mind, and they became firm friends.....When Tiger past away Digger sat by his grave for days.Digger is now buried with Tiger, so they are together again.
