Mermaid Dreams

My Friend sent me this great So Suzy Stamps stamp for Christmas,

{isn't she the sweetest?!}

along with these wonderful papers and amazing Washi Tape

I'm entering this in So Suzy Stamps December Challenge of Anything Goes

I colored the image with Copic Markers and lightly added Wink of Stella on all of the water

Little Sentiment stamp from Scrapmaster's Paradise

Happy Dust

Yesterday/Last night, during the post-17-year-old-birthday-overnight-bash hangover

(from lack of sleep, not booze)

I got busy using the Unity Stamp Company

{Be Inspired} Color Combo #23

and these two amazing stamps from Unity

I am TRILLED with how it turned out!

For the Star background I used UmWow Studio's Mask with Gelatos

Then Stamped the Sentiment  called Happy Dust

& the fairy from November 2014 KOM {white lies within us}

Using Faber-Castell's PITT artist pen big brush in black

Sprayed a bunch of different Tattered Angels mists all over

Then topped off with a few Stickles in Diamond

Last I colored her skin with a Copic marker

'til the Season, Reindeer

this card took me entirely too long to make, as unimpressive as it is! lol

I h ad much higher hopes for it in my head

I made this for Unity's Friends With Flair

this wonderful shimmery paper is from GCD Studios Scent of Christmas

a little bit of old Mulberry Papers

Sizzix die called Banners (I used them upside-down)

Distressed Sitckles in Pine Needles

Puffy White Fabric Paint (for snow)

and a tiny bit of Gelatos for his nose & the ornaments)
