June mertot meets Lavinia stamps

There is now a whole range of Lavinia stamps in the Crafty Purple Frog shop and I thought why not try and mix them up with the super cute June Mertot from Sweet November stamps. I started by doing my background using the seaweed 2 and sea bubbles stamps with some green Altenew inks and then used a yellow altenew ink and the lightest blue ink I had to ink around the edges of the card. 

The adorable June mertot digi I coloured with the following Copic markers:

Skin: E33, E21, E00

Hair: E49, E57, E55, E31

Fish friend: G17, G07, G14

Tail: YR07, YR15, Y08, Y02

I also added Spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen to her tail so its really sparkly :D

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

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Arty Divas - Anything goes

Crafty sentiment- Anything goes

Through the craft room door - Anything goes

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.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
