Life's a Beach

Wow, another month has flown by, but you still have a few days left this month to enter the One Crazy Stamper challenge of Anything Goes with any stamped image - no digital images are allowed!!

For the entire month the design team has been featuring images from our sponsor company - WHIMSY STAMPS, and my card today has a wonderful Elisabeth Bell image called Beauty.



Once again I have used Copic sketch markers to color the image, and then I used a Sakura Stardust pen to add highlight to the mermaid tail ( you probably can't see the shine of the fins, but it looks great ! ). I used my Grand Calibur and a Grand die to cut the shape of the card, then layered paper from Authentique's Renew collection for added color. The ribbon and sentiment are from my stash.

Princess Tales

Hi all!

I used the adorable Princess Tales!  She is colored with copics and instead of creating a neutral shadow I used my lightest blue to create a shade for her.

Using different greens I created the grass by quick and light brush strokes.  I used a yellow copic to create little dandelion marks on the ends of some of the grass.  This is going to make a great birthday card for one of the little ones in our big extended family!

Hope you are enjoying the week!

Happy Stamping,
