Swimming by to say Hi!

 I'm sharing another card today, I kept it to a simple design, using copics to color up this adorable image from The Greeting Farm . I believe she was a FB freebie, I couldn't find her in the shop.  I used the card base and other shapes from My Scrap Chick Card Essentials 2 svg file, some twine, and a little tag. I added glitter around the frame, in her fins and the starfish, I also added a Wink of Stella on her tail. 

At our house and when my kids were growing up we probably watched the Little Mermaid a couple times a day almost everyday, and Ariel is my daughters favorite princess, she loves mermaid movies and anything Ariel, (she's 19!!) but goes to show that you can never be too old for what you love!

Pile It On- Challenge

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Pile It On and the theme is:

No Design paper or make your own

Our sponsor this challenge is a Day for Daisies and I got to use this gorgeous image called Water Talk.  I totally went with a completely different color combination here and well.......I'm not sure it works, but it's unusual and I stuck with it.  I colored with copics, and used gelatos with water for the watercolor effect in the background of the stamp, put a bunch of primas, enamel dots, sequins, some ink, a doily and some lace ribbon, made my own banner and the happy birthday is a rub-on.

Tell me what ya think of the colors.....do they work?  Yay....Nay?? I'm still undecided, but I really love the image and wanted something a little different!

Here is a card I made for a few challenges.  I just totally LOVE this Mermaid Mae from Some Odd Girl.  She is adorable and so fun to color. I'm not sure she is still available, I couldn't find her in the store, I had won some SOG images awhile ago and picked this one.  My Ashlie LOVES mermaids.  The Little Mermaid is still one of her favorite movies ...EVER!  So any chance to use a mermaid...I do!

I used copics to color her, glossy accents on the shell and bubbles. Enamel accents for her necklace, some sequins, embossed green paper, border punch for the purple border and white galaxy marker for the stitching.  the fish stickers were some that I've had for awhile. 

I am entering this into the SOME ODD GIRL June sketch challenge using this sketch

Also the SOG hair raising challenge which is to color an image with long hair, funky colors or both.

Ok...back to more cards.  I swear sometimes it takes me days to put a card together.  It really shouldn't take that long.  I don't know if I'm just super slow, or too indecisive....hmmm!  :/
