This Isn't the End, It's a New Beginning!

Happy Hump Day! My Honey's oldest sister is retiring next week from her job she's had for 40 years, so I've made her a Congrats card with a unicorn because she loves them and so do I. I used one of my favorite digi stamp sets here.

This card meets 2 Bugaboo Stamps challenges, as well as 2 other challenges where Bugaboo is the current sponsor! It's like Bugaboo Shark Week! I just had to play in them all, with a Bugaboo sketch and Bugaboo's digital Unicorn image set in Bugaboo Bingo.

 

On the left is the original sketch and on the right is after I put it into PSE and changed the dimensions to a landscape A2 card. I used the rainbow cloud in place of the small top circle and added a little bling and clouds and stars here and there extra. Otherwise, I'm pretty faithful to this sketch.

SUPPLIES:
Basic Grey Gypsy/Romani 12x12 patterned card stock (ancient and still have lots)
Dies: Spellbinders Labels Nine and Doilies Floral Motif dies; Verve Starry die; MFT Clouds Trio                        Die-namics; Avery Elle Dotted Dies
Stamps: Bugaboo Digital, Crafty Secrets, Pink By Design, Avery Elle,
Inks: Memento; Promarkers and Sakura Glitter Gel Pen for coloring images
Stash: Brads, Flower, enamel dots, distress tool

I used all BG collection card stock, even for the card base. I die cut the stars, sentiment banner, red flower circle, unicorn and clouds, and fussy cut the rainbow cloud and tickets. I tried to color coordinate my Promarker colors to the paper.

The inside and back of my card. Here you can the edge distressing really well on the back. I did this on the front as well.
