Let the shellebration begin!

I am so ready for the warmer weather to show up now. I think this little mermaid is feeling the same. She was part of the last digi Christmas release over at Sweet November Stamps last year but she definitely works for any season.

She is part of the Griswold and Bethany digi set and because she is a digi you could grab her right now. No waiting for or paying for postage. It doesn't get much better than that :D  

I have coloured her up with the following copics:

Hair: W10, W8, W6, W4

Skin: V17, E35, E13

Tail: R85, R83, R81

Clam shell: E42, E41

Sand: E43, E42

Water: B00

This giveaway is sponsored by Sweet November Stamps.

For my card I used the adorable Paisley stamp.

I coloured her with the following copics:

Skin: V17, E35, E13

Hair: W9, W7, W5

Dress: B18, B16, B12

Shoes, hair band and belt: RV66, RV55, RV63

For her balloons I used a few layers of Wow! Turkish nights after colouring in the balloons with a wow! embossing pen. The back ground I started by inking the background with Kitsch flamingo and a bit of picked raspberry distress oxide. Then I added some stencilling using Heffy Doodles confetti heart stencil before doing some ink splattering with Picket fence spray stain and Cocktail party distress mica stain.

If you like this little girl there are 2 chances to win her and the entire June Sweet November Stamps release by joining a hop over on Instagram CLICK HERE.

You are fabulous

Honestly these digi sets from The Greeting Farm are just so much fun to play with! This one I kept nice and simple I mixed the adorable birthday girls and birthday boys sets. I kept it all on one layer and coloured it with my copics and then added sparkle with a spectrum noir clear sparkle pen.

 

In case you have missed it The Greetings farm have a DT call going on and you can find all of the details HERE.
