If Seabiscuit Were a Unicorn

Did you read Seabiscuit as a kid? There were a LOT of horse books in my childhood, including that and Black Beauty. I did take riding lessons as a kid - it was all just a big thing back then, horse culture. 

I enjoyed the riding lessons, too. Anything with an animal involved was my jam. 

I was playing around with this rainbow die to match up with the unicorn dies and I got up to feed Clarence while I was arranging the stripes on my card front and when I came back, the sideways card on my desk looked like a racetrack! So I turned my unicorn into Seabiscuit! The rainbow colors I used are Aqua Sky, Sprout, Buttercup, Grapefruit and Honeysuckle. I stamped the modular sentiment in Aqua Sky and Sprout. The banner die - the little end pieces are separate, so you can offset them and make the banner as 3D as you want. The unicorn - I know it's hard to see - is clear glitter paper, and the dies that cut out his mane, tail etc. are separate - I used this blue glitter cardstock for those. The stamps have a little face for him, but I was enamored with the die cuts by themselves!

I did a second unicorn, also in clear glitter paper, and used holographic cardstock for the extras. This sentiment is also modular, but I stamped both parts in black. These strips were leftover from the first card. You can get many multiples with this die.

This month they have all sorts of cool dies - I love the space-themed bundle. I decided to combine the larger planet stamp and die with the rings and cut the little shooting star tail from the same glitter paper I used on the first unicorn. The background was made with a watercolor pour - you can see my video for how I created this HERE.

Here are all the supplies I used today.
