the little unicorn ...

well not really a unicorn, but that is what i thought when i first saw this dreamy little mini horse sleeping in the straw ... i just had to scrap her in Pink Paislee butterfly collection ... i imagined the fairies and birds protecting her while she slumbered ...    so sweet ... so precious in her slumber ...

sorry for the glare on the photo ... this picture was taken outside to catch the daylight ... isn't she just the dreamiest little horse!


I cut up a vintage crochet doily that i picked up at an antique store for a buck ... it was stained in one corner so i didn't mind cutting it up


and of course every birdie needs to perch on bling while rocking a top hat!

I love the way the wood frame turned out ... i inked it and coated it with Utee, using several coats and several inks ... the colours swirl in the heat and layer to give it a real vintagey wood look ... imagine that wood looking like ... wood!

thanks for taking the time to stop by!
