Once Upon a Time.......

In a far away land (Scotland), I bought a set of Papermania, Midnight Fairytale stamps, and didn't use them.  Many years later, (well a couple) I unearthed them, blew away the magic dust from them, (well it's in my craft room, so the dust has a high glitter content making it at least look magic!) and decided to ink them up for only the second time. (Hangs head in shame.......until distracted by other crafty stash!)

 The unicorn and castle are two separate stamps, I stamped the unicorn first and masked it off before stamping the castle, then coloured everything with Promarkers, adding a bit of sparkle to the unicorn's mane and tail with Glamour Dust and his horn with gold glitter.  I stamped swirls onto the topper with Perfect Medium, then heat embossed with Silver Pearl embossing powder, I then stamped ivy leaves round the edges using old SeeDees stamps in Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.
The papers are Papermania, Tulip, I ran the green one through an Embossalicious folder with a flourish design to continue the romantic theme, then inked over with more Mowed Lawn ink.
To add to the leafy frame, I used my Marianne ivy corner die, and layered the die cuts over the stamped leaves.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set, I inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and added some Glamour Dust for a bit of glitz.  A trio of gems on the banner finish my card.
