Simply email the phrase to jonjinko@hotmail.com with the phrase in the subject line and she will email the freebie image to you. In addition, be sure to leave a comment on the Inktegrity blog (the last on this hop) so that you are eligible to win your choice of 5 of these images!!!

Now on to my card and image:



I have always loved unicorns. As a kid, I collected them. Many have been lost from my collection over the years, but some very special one's remain. When Joni asked us to request an image I had to give it some thought but then ultimately decided on a unicorn when my oldest son had asked me what my very favorite book of all time is. Of course, it's The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Thinking of the book and reminiscing about the wonderful characters, Lady Amalthea (the unicorn), Molly and Schmendrick, Prince Lir, King Haggard... *sigh* We were also asked to name our image - my son Levi named the unicorn Harmony.

When Joni sent me this image you have no idea how delighted I was! I set to work, mentally, on how I wanted my card to look. At first I was thinking the colors of how the film The Last Unicorn looked, but then after a trip to the ribbon outlet, my color scheme shifted to burgundy, white and ivory.

The base is Baroque Burgundy and then I cut the "top note" die - not the SU! die, but one I created in SCAL and then embossed with the Textile Cuttlebug folder. I colored the image with just a touch of color using a Copic Marker (B0000) and a Prismacolor Marker (Cream). The with a blender pen and Baroque Burgundy ink, added a touch of color to the mane.

I have truly enjoyed my term on the Winter Inktegrity Design Team. I want to thank Joni for having given me that opportunity. I am sad to leave but I am excited to see what the Spring Team will bring. It's also been an absolute pleasure to work with everyone on the team.

For this hop, my letter is...
