**April KOM Flying Unicorn Whispers of Spring**

“I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.” , it was Whispers of Spring. Millard Kaufman


Soft, whimsical colorful palette is what we have put together for this month's Kit . We say good-bye to winter and rejoice in the longer sunny warmer days. Earthly and vintage-like tones from Bo Bunny's C'est La Vie Collection, Prima's Lifetime Collection and Studio 75 Vintage Memories have captured the beauty of the Whispering Spring days ahead .
Our off the page project that comes in each kit sets us apart from any other kit club. This month we share in you capturing those memories and showcasing them where they can be seen using Kaisercraft's Off the Page Photo Frame.















Join Flying Unicorn and Kelly this month when she demonstrates on how to make this incredible creation using our April Kit of the Month



On April 9th Erica will take you step by step in making this incredible layout using our KOM - Whispers of Spring

"Alice in Wonderland" Fairytale Month at **Flying Unicorn**


Hello everyone! Welcome to Alice in Wonderland week! Week 4 of Fairy tale week.



I hope you all are ready to have some fun! Because you see this is "Alice in Wonderland" week.. The thing that sticks out in my mind about "Alice in Wonderland", is anything goes, and crazy is actually sane . In all the movies it is rich and vibrant with COLOR!!! What is big is small and small is big.. lol

I knew when, I teamed up with my awesome team mate Maggi, and knew what she was doing.. I had to add one to my project too.. Here is what I found while I was looking threw the looking glass of my mind!


 I wanted to add all the color I could to this tag.. I had a blast with my inks and the cool new Prima wooden mushrooms was a perfect fit!!! The Flying Unicorn Adornments clock as well!! I just went well MAD with color and my inks!! Almost the whole tag was plain white CS.. I colored the whole BG with Staz-on and then started adding rubbons in black From Kaisercraft that came in one of our KOM. Its the "Miss Match collection" I though it went rather well with the ideas from the theme of "Alice in Wonderland". The doily that I have Alice setting on is from the same collection from Kaisercraft. I made the hat purely out of imagination. I knew what I wanted the "scene" of the whole tag to look like.. added splashes of white to just add to the drama..Of course flowers had to be used as well!! All are Flying Unicorn Mini roses.. All of the images of the actual Wonderland characters are digi coloring book images that I found on the web (I downloaded and resized to suit my needs) and colored them with my tombow penand some stickles was used in a few places to add a little sparkle.. Oh and I thought the TH film tape just was the finishing touch to a child hood classic film! Here are some close ups of the detail.. 








Ok now its your turn!! Get crazy Get MAD and make a "Alice in Wonderland" project of your own! You can choose a LO, tag, card or anything that your heart desires! Just as long as its "Alice in Wonderland" inspired! Common in and join the fun here!!

The Pattern Papers was Fabscraps. I have had these papers as well for a while. I used the Studio blank canvas that came in the kit to cover all the chippy pieces.The clock hand I altered a bit with the Prima clock hand that I got from the Flying Unicorn store. The bling is wintersong collection you can find it here. The Numbers and fence I used Lumiere which is coming soon to the store along with a bunch of new Dusty Attic and ScrapFX so stay tuned to the store to get your hand on these must have items.

The Yellow roses are from the Flower addon. The Blue are Prima from my hoarded stash ( I am making room for the Yummy Flowers fixing to hit the store soon! ;) ) The little white flowers which I love as fillers can be found in the Flying Unicorn store here. I used the Studio blank canvas to highlight areas around the pic it is in the main kit. All the little pearls are the Viva pearl pens that come in the embellishment addon. The title is ScrapFX more new ScrapFX coming to the store soon too!! I used some Lindy's mist on the title to highlight it and lightly edged with the Viva pearl pen from the embellishment addon with a paint brush. Here are some close ups of this one.
