Today I have used the Unicorn Maiden digital stamp from MoonFlower Digistamps, our generous sponsor this month, to make a tall A5 birthday card.

I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and sized it to 5" high then sized a frame (cut file details & link below) to fit neatly around the image.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut with my Cameo, coloured with Copic markers and went around the edges with a black marker.  I cut the frame from black cardstock and adhered it to the image panel.  The A5 top folding card base was matted with pretty patterned paper (sorry, it's a discontinued design from my stash) then I adhered a contrasting strip and the framed image panel in place.  The sentiment is a die cut.  I coloured some X-Press It blending card with the R83 Copic marker (to match the dress), die cut the sentiment, adhered to a panel of white cardstock, matted it with black cardstock (4 3/8" x 1") and adhered in place.  I confess, this was my second try, as the letters looked wonky the first time.  To make it "Tracy-proof", I die cut the sentiment from a panel 3/4" x 4 1/8" (the same size as sentiment panel for the card), stuck a strip of Washi Tape across the front of the "negative" die cut, turned it over and placed each letter in their original place, with the tape gently holding them in position.  I applied liquid adhesive to the back of each one.  I flipped it all over then aligned it with the sentiment panel, carefully peeled off the tape and "negative", leaving a perfect aligned sentiment.  The card was finished off with two clusters of black pearls.
