First of all - thank you to everyone for all the very kind comments yesterday. Jessica is beautiful and continues to thrive- we feel so blessed.
Last month Liz had a birthday card from on old friend. On the front was a very sparkly unicorn. Inside was a greeting explaining that the friend's daughter had insisted on this card. And on the back, a message...
Quite clearly the unicorn was meant to be passed on to Big Sister Rosie. Please Grandma.... I peeled off the unicorn - it was sequins sewn on a felt base, with an adhesive backing. The card itself can be decorated and re-used too. I machine stitched the shape onto a plain pink H&M which Rosie found for me in her drawers.And here's the magical bit - the unicorn is silver with a pink/red yellow/turquoise mane.But if you run your fingers across the sequins, stroking them upwards, they flip over - the motif becomes pearly white, with white, blue, silver and purple mane.
I thought this was really nifty! If you want a similar, but smaller magical motif, you can buy them from Hobbycraft for just £2.
That was a very sweet card idea and it was lovely it could be passed onto Rosie. Those sequins ARE super clever! I'm always impressed by them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clver idea.
ReplyDeleteJust right for Rosie to wear! Our teenage granddaughter has a knit dress with a sequin motif that changes colour in the same way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! A very magical color changing unicorn!
