* made 2 card-bases out of the pink and green cardstock and cut the plain background to shape with my cookie-die.
* embossed the beige cardstock and added the brown inks to it for even more wood effect.
* then I added the wood direct to the card-base, the background to the wood and the hunter with 3D-dots to the background.
* for the unicorn (with background), I just cut it to size and glued it to the shimmering pink base-card.
