New digi Mermay release from Sweet November Stamps

I was so excited to be asked by the lovely ladies at Sweet November Stamps to join them for this brand new Mermay digi stamp release. These mermaids and their friends are so much fun! This is the very beautiful Ashera

I loved colouring this beauty up with my copics. I used the following copics to colour her:

Hair: R85, R83, R81

Skin: V17, E35, E11

Eyes: BG49, BG05 

Tail: W9, W7, W5

For the background I die cut the rectangle with Heffy Doodle Whimsically wonky dies. Then used Meteorite shower nuvo shimmer powder. It is so much fun to use! I tipped a tiny bit onto the paper and then sprayed it with water to get this look. I had to put it under a big book to flatten the background out before I added my mermaid and the sentiment onto it. For the sentiment I used these white foam glitter letter stickers from Simply creative. I then coloured them with an alcohol marker to make them black and keep that glitter showing through.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Lil patch of crafty friends - Anything Goes

The fairy and the unicorn - Anything Fantasy goes

Gem of a challenge - Anything Goes

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

1 item 3 ways challenge

I LOVE making the most of the things I have so when there was the chance to join a hop where we need to use an item 3 ways based on a theme I wanted to join in :)

This month is the first one and the theme was fathers day / creations for the males in our lives. I gave myself a double challenge as used the same Stamping Bella stamp (Daddy's little girl) for all 3 cards and used the same First Edition paper pad Grand Plans for all 3 makes. As a bonus at the moment you can get this 6x6 paper pad for just £1.50 in the DRK crafts sale!!!

I LOVE this First editions Paper pad as it is so perfect for this theme and the bright colours along with the texture that the speciality papers give your make with the glitter and glossy elements really make your project look expensive.

This first card I cut one of the pieces of 6x6 paper diagonally across it and then took the page that is all sentiments cutting the sentiments out separately using this one on this card. Around the edges of the card I have doodled a border. 

This second card I used this fun green paper as an extra layer of colour for this card and again I doodled around all the edges.

These fun white glitter foam letters are from Simply creatives alphabet sticker set. and add a great bit of dimension to the card.

For this last card of the three I have fussy cut around one of the design papers cutting around the records and album covers making some of them overlap the frame I have created for the image.

The sentiment for this card is from a set of  Dovecraft stamps called essential general and has 15 general sentiments in the pack that you can find HERE.

I am entering these cards for the following challenges:

As you like it - Girl or Boy : I have gone for boy as I like the challenge

Creative Fingers - Anything goes

Pattie's creations - Anything Goes

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

C.R.A.F.T. - Anything goes
