Loving all things magical I knew I wanted to have a unicorn stamp, I think this sweetie goes well with all of my faires and other magical creatures! Here is what Betz had to say about her project!

Rainbow Unicorn Journal Page

I have a slight love affair with unicorns and it is not because of the current trend in the art world. A few years ago I ran across an amazing store called “The Flying Unicorn” with the most helpful big-hearted owner. I started to subscribe to her monthly boxes and a few years later traveled to the retreat that she hosted in Texas. I met the most amazing group of artists and we became friends. These ladies helped get me back into my hobby. Through them, I learned how to be comfortable with myself and the art that I liked to create. We called ourselves the “Uni-Sisters” and get together whenever we can. I made this journal in honor of our little group!

The Unicorn magic

The base is a beautiful turquoise watercolor from Plaid, I wanted it to resemble sky! I stamped  Rita Barakat’s Unicorn Art Foamie stamp with paint. Wanting to really make my unicorn shine, I added some glitter paint to the mane, tail and the horn.  A unicorn is a magical creature that has to sparkle right?

I thought I was just about done, but after I added my saying I realized I needed a rainbow. Clearly, ponies are stuck on the ground and unicorns are magical that can fly above the rainbows. Now the fun part – MORE GLITTER AND CHUNKY! This page really needed to sparkle and shine while showcasing that spunky positive attitude, so I finished it off with the amazing Glitteriffic Paint in two colors!

If you do not have an art journal I strongly recommend getting one. It is a great place to try out new techniques and products as well as freely expressing yourself.

I agree Betz! I love art journaling!


Make sure to leave Betz some love and enter the giveaway! These are all my favorites for Plaid!

In my work I hope you will find encouragement, a little whimsy, something pretty or at least something to make you think. I do believe we need to be thankful and focus on the positive! I am passionate about art and believe that we are all creative in our own ways.
