You Are Magical – Bright & Bold Sketch Challenge Card | Featuring Love From Lizi

Ready to add some color and sparkle to your cardmaking? Today’s project was inspired by Love From Lizi's Sketch Challenge number 3 and brought to life using one of my favorite die sets and the Brights paper pack from Love From Lizi. With a mix of rainbow hues, gold accents, and a whimsical unicorn girl, this card is sure to brighten anyone’s day!

This card features a half-panel geometric background built with tiny stitched squares in a rainbow of colors. Gold pinstripe stickers add shine and clean definition, while a playful unicorn girl and bold sentiment bring it all together with magical vibes.

Supplies Used:

Love From Lizi

• Background Builder 1 Dies

• Polka Dot 6x6 Brights Patterned Paper

• A Little Bit of Magic Stamp Set (unicorn girl and "You Are Magical" stamps)

• Straight Gold Peel-Off Stickers

Additional Supplies:

• COPIC markers

• Gold glitter pen

• Brother Scan N Cut

• Foam tape

• Scissors

• Paper trimmer

• Mod Podge

• Clear flat sequins

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sketch Planning:

   I started by lightly drawing a guide with a pencil from the bottom 1/3 of a 4.25" x 5.5" card panel to the midpoint of the right side, following Love From Lizi's Sketch Challenge #3.

   
   

2. Die Cutting & Assembly:

   I die cut small stitched squares from the polka dot patterned papers in rainbow colors and adhered them along the diagonal guideline, trimming off the excess.

   
   

3. Adding Shine:

   After erasing the pencil marks, I added straight gold peel-off stickers between each square and around the full rainbow half of the card.

   
   

4. Circle Accent:

   I die cut a large circle from the same gold peel-off stickers and sealed it with Mod Podge. I backed it with a white cardstock circle for stability.

   
   

5. Stamping & Coloring:

   I stamped and colored the unicorn girl from the "Little Bit of Magic" stamp set using rainbow Copic markers and added a glittery gold horn. I also stamped and die cut the sentiment "You Are Magical", as well as the unicorn girl, using my Brother Scan N Cut.

   
   

   

   
   

6. Final Assembly:

   I adhered the circle element with foam tape, followed by the girl and sentiment. I added clear flat sequins for sparkle and mounted the panel to a top-folding A2 card base.

This card was such a fun way to use up colorful scraps and peel-offs while playing along with a sketch challenge. I love how the geometric layout pairs with the magical theme!
