Wishing you a Fintastic birthday!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I get to share my first project using the new Scrappy Boy Mermazing stamp set. I don't know about you but I am completely Christmas'd out in my craft room now so it was really nice to change the pace with something a bit different!

I decided to get ahead with some birthday cards for next year and the sentiment in this set is just perfect!

I started with a piece of white card stock and used a circle masquerade stencil and a piece of memo tape to create my sunset first so I could work around this as I knew I wanted this as the main part of the background. The sun has been inked from Carved Pumpkin and the sky blended out into Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry


To create a split between the sunset and the sea I used Horizon Lines: Oceon Beach stamps from Sweet November Stamps. The palm trees created a nice border for me between the sky and sea.

To ink blend the sea I blended Mermaid Lagoon from the palm tree strip and towards the bottom left corner, from the bottom left corner I then blended towards the sea with Wild Honey to create the beach section of the card. I added a couple more silhouette image from the Horizon Lines set to finish the scene in the sea

My image is stamped on alcohol marker friendly card and coloured in copic markers:

Skin: E33, E11 and E00 , cheeks RV20

Hair: E37, E35 and E33

Hair piece and Mermaid Tail: RV19, RV14 and RV11

I've sat her on the beach area, doesn't she look like she's enjoying that sunset.

I hope you've enjoyed today's inspiration, I will be back soon with another card using this set. Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
