Unicorn Sunset (Silhouette)

I popped into our local Range store a couple of weeks ago and came across a range of mini dies they are now selling. I couldn't resist and bought a small selection of fantasy dies along with the frame die used on this card. 
The unicorn on this card was created using the mini unicorn die I purchased,

 After cutting the unicorn out,  I used the negative section as a stencil and sponged black ink through the aperture onto my sponged sunset background.
The  actual die cut just didn't look right to my critical eye.

Lovely as a tree sunset framed.

This a project I have been meaning to do for months and this afternoon I finally got round to actually doing it. It's a gift  for somebody I know who's birthday is coming up very soon.
I must remember to tell her not to position it in direct sunlight or it will fade quite quickly.
I do hope she likes it.
I created this by sponging on rather a lot of ink  then stamping over the sponging using the lovely as a tree stamp set in black craft ink. (both available from stampin' up)
the inks I used were  called daffodil delight, Pumpkin pie, real red and Cherry cobbler.
