Image:
You can print the image to any size you like, though the larger it is the harder it may be to get good coverage with the techniques. I would recommend starting at the class size. I’ve printed the NO LINES version as this will give a softer finish. There is no difference in the technique for colouring either the no lines or black lines image.
The size I've used in the class video is 10cm high (3.9”). If you are new to resizing images, please view my handy video here!
Colours required:
You can use any colour blends to do this class and any brand of markers! Simply choose any colour blend from your collection, or view the ones I’ve used below.

Cardmaking Supplies:
Please note that my video class only covers the colouring portion of the project. My card is just an example of what you can create with the image.
- card for bases (my image is printed on X-Press It Blending Card)
- Double sided foam tape for dimension
- Watercolour Paper for card base
- Watercolour Pen/Paint
- Enamel Dots
1 - Print the image on your favorite blending card (I've used xpress it blending card). I've used the No Lines image included in the package for a softer look.
2 - Colour following along with the class video
3 - Cut two pieces of watercolour cardstock (13.5x10cm and 14.5 x 11cm) - adjust the size if you have adjusted the image size
4 - Using a watercolour pen, apply to the smaller of the two pieces to create a simple background
5 - Using foam tape, affix the two pieces of card together. The foam tape allows dimension
6 - Cut out the unicorn image. Use foam tape to affix to the card base
7 - Apple enamel dots and sentiment to finish
