Sending you a little vitamin sea

Have you seen the beautiful new digi release from Sweet November Stamps? There are gorgeous mermaids with their animal friends This is the very beautiful Cari and Neo. I had so much fun colouring this duo up. You can grab them right now and as they are digi's there is no waiting or paying for postage which is even better! The sentiment is from the new clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps Sea birds stamp set. I used peacock feathers distress ink to make a circular shape in the middle of my square card. Then I flicked it with prize ribbon and mermaid lagoon distress oxide sprays. To add a last bit of sparkle and texture I added a few Nuvo silver crystal glitter drops.

I used the following Copics to colour this duo:

Skin: V17, E35, E13

Hair: W9, W7, W5

Tail: R85, R83, R81

Top: B01

Dolphin: B45, B21, B000

Belly rubs

 I am so glad that I made some time to have a play and colour this beautiful Belly rubs digi from the amazing Sweet November Stamps. I got my copics out to colour her up. I used a 6x6 card and made a foil border around it in this stunning teal foil and double sided tape. Then I used some distress oxide sprays to add a bit of interest in the background before adding the belly rubs mermaid and her fluffy friend on some foam pads. The miss you sentiment die is by Heffy Doodle. To finish it off I used some nuvo drops to give her tail some sparkle and texture and then added a few more scattered across the card.

GDT for Sweet November

I can not tell you how excited I am to have been asked to be GDT for the incredible Sweet November for the release this week. I have had so much fun with the 2 new little mer tots. For this first card I have used the adorable June Mertot.

I decided to decoupage her as that is something I have not done with an image in ages and I love the way it make her look more 3D. I coloured her with my copics using the following colours:

Skin: E33, E21, E00 + a touch of R81

Hair: V06, R85, R81

Tail: G07, G14, YG03

Fish: Y38, Y02, Y000

As normal for me I had to cover her tail in spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen and glossy accents.

I made the background with distress oxide inks (Seedless preserves, Worn lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade) I then flicked some water over my inking and then sprayed some wilted violet distress oxide spray. The Dream big shadow sentiment is from time for tea and the smaller sentiment is from an old Stampin' up! stamp set.

Dream Big

I think I am addicted to this Dream big sentiment die from Time for Tea designs. It could make a great card all on it's own.

I made this inky background at the weekend. I used wilted violet distress oxide ink to make an ombre down the paper. Then I flicked it with some water before adding some wilted violet distress oxide spray over it. I coloured in this adorable super girl from the Heffy Doodle super dudes stamp set with spectrum noir tri-blends. I attached her with an action wobble and then added some nuvo drops all around the card for added dimension.

Hello beautiful

I had a lot of fun getting inky making this card. I started by inking the background with wilted violet, mermaid lagoon and tumbled glass distress oxides and then tried out my distress oxide sprays in fossilized amber and wilted violet just to add some more interest to the back ground.

The great big hello sentiment is from Crafters companions script words set and I embossed it in gold embossing powder so it adds some more shine to the card.

Then we go onto the main event which is another stunning mermaid digi from the incredible Sweet november stamps. She is called Sparkle moon drifter and I just love the shape of her and how her hair flows. She was so much fun to colour with my spectrum noir tri-blends and then I couldn't resist adding a mix of nuvo drops to give her tail sparkle and shine.
