The Crafty Purple Frog: Dock on the bay stamps

Siting on the dock of the bay

I am having so much fun with this new Sweet November Stamps clear stamp release. This pretty Mermee was giving me little mermaid vibes so I had to go with these colours for her. I would love to be sitting on the dock of a bay somewhere nice a warm right now. Where would you most like to be?

I put this scene together using the brilliant Dock on the Bay stamp set from the new Sweet November Stamps clear stamp release and the gorgeous Mermaid is from the Mermees Set #3 stamp set. I coloured the whole scene up with copic markers and then added a load of sparkle using the Spectrum noir sparkle pen and some nuvo drops.

I am going to enter this card for the following challenges:

Fab n' Funky - Fantasy

Penny's papercraft challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog.

Huge hugs

Sweet November Stamps Mermay 2022 release

I am so mega excited to be able to share this new Mermay release from Sweet November Stamps. There is also a great hop going on this weekend where you have the chance to win the entire new release! So be sure to hop on over to @sweetnovemberstamps and follow along the hop as you have to be in it to win it. There are more chances to win as well because if you are one of the first 5 people to make an order from the Crafty Purple Frog Shop over £30 that includes a Sweet November Stamps item then I will add in a random one of the new release stamps for free!!

This little cutie is called Calico and she is flying her flag high and proud. I coloured her with Copic markers and then have made this little scene for her.

For the scene I started by using the oval Masquerade stencil from Heffy doodle then stamped out the island scene from the new dock of the Bay stamp set before then inking roughly a sky area with Tumbled glass distress oxide and Blue print sketch for the sea. To give it a bit more texture I also used the Stormy Seas stencil from Heffy Doodle before I removed the oval stencil. After colouring in the island with copics to finish the whole card I hand drew some borders and scattered a few nuvo drops around.
