Fishing You a Happy Birthday & Crafting is Happiness

 I love color challenges - I love playing with new color combinations and realizing how much I love certain ones that I would never have thought to use together! I would like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Color Throwdown #827


Addicted to Stamps & More # 22 - Make Your Mark


Passion for Markers #776 - Include Gems and/or Pearls

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Just Add Ink #739 (I used colouring & embossing)




I created my background by blending Distress Ink Oxide on watercolor paper and blending through a mermaid scale stencil. I stamped Mermaid Bday Anya from The Greeting Farm in Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape.  I added some die cut sand dollars (Simon Says Stamp) and seashells and some pearl stickers to finish it off. 

...............................................

One more that I'd like to add to the following challenges:

Love Those Pretty Patterned Papers - Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls #763 - Mood Board




I have always been a fan of Heather Ellis, I have a whole bunch of stamps from My Favorite Things (Pure Innocence line) and a bunch of her digis (no longer available) as well.  I find the characters easy and fun to color. I stamped the little artist in Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored her with alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape.  Designer papers are from Doodlebug Designs.  Added some little gemstone stickers to finish it off. Peace.
