Magical Mermaid

Mermaids Are So Magical

The card I have chosen for today is one I made some time ago.  It was a stamp set I wasn't going to get until my granddaughter started going on about mermaids all the the time. So I thought hey ho it will be worth getting if she likes her card and she did.

It was quite easy to make the hardest part being the colouring in of the mermaid which I did in a combination of colours for the tail with blushing bride for the bottom of the tail and for her back I used the retired blendabilities (yes mine still work) for her back and arm.

The dazzling diamonds hasn't really shown up in this picture but I just put a few spots of glue across the bottom where the shells and so forth are and then added the dazzling diamonds.


The materials used are:
Card stock: shimmery white,versamark, whisper white
Ink: Old olive, pool party, sahara sand
Markers: Berry burst, blushing bride, crushed curry, fresh fig, so saffron
Stamp sets: label me pretty, magical mermaid
Embossing folders: ruffed 
Embossing powders: clear, copper
Punches: pretty label

Accessories: dazzling diamonds, tombow glue

Will be back again soon with more cards

Detailed Dragonfly meets Rose Garden

Sweet Sugarplum Treat

I did something I've never done before for this card. First I picked an embossing folder, then a stamp set followed by a set of dies and a pack of DSP. Laid them out on the table and low and behold this is what I created.  As I've never tried this method of card making before I was pleased with the outcome. Might try the same method for a male card next time so keep watching.

Just for a change everything is available now and in the up coming catalogue due out next month except for the DSP that will retire on 31st May.


The materials used are:
Card stock: Shimmery White, Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum, Vellum
Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, VersaMark
DSP: Falling in Love
Stamp sets: Dragonfly Dreams
Embossing folders: Seaside
Embossing Powders: Clear
Thinlits: Detailed Dragonfly, Rose Garden
Punches: Banner Triple
Accessories: Basic Pearls, Dazzling Diamonds, Wink of Stella

Will be back again soon with more cards
