Not another mermaid?!

Hello peeps, happy Tuesday.

Now, unless you have been locked in a shed for the last two weeks, you will have seen these mermaid images everywhere in Blogland and on FaceBook.  However, I am a wee bit behind as my own package of loveliness only arrived on Saturday but I simply could not wait to play so on Sunday, out came the fishiness!

MFT BB Mermazing stamp set

Die-Namics Double Stitched Circle Stax

MFT Tribal Prints 6x6 pad

MFT Wild Prints 6x6 pad

Distress Inks (ReInkers), Memento ink pads, Copics (for the splatter background)

aided by a Tim Holtz air-puffer gadget (Distress Marker Spritzer)

Do Copics wash out of clothes?  A fun method of applying colour, but not

particularly directional!

Just keep swimming

Hugs to all

Without Words (DT) August: Harvest Home

Morning all, and welcome to the first Monday of August.  That means another new challenge from the Word Birds over at Without Words.

The theme for August is Harvest Home - with so much around in the way of fresh fruit and summer vegetables that is what we would like you to use, fruit and/or veg!

Here's my card:

So, the image is, well obviously, it's an apple - from the Tim Holtz Schoolhouse Blueprint set

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

MFT Stitched Circle die, and Tonic Scalloped Circle and Scalloped Square dies

Papers are a mis-mash of scraps but the fruity one is from an old pad by DoCrafts

Will it keep the doctor away?

Hope to see you joining in the fruity fun over at the challenge - it's a short one this time because of holidays so the closing date is 27th August.  Back to normal for September.

Hugs to all

Pssssst......

Morning all.  Just popping by with a first reminder for the WITHOUT WORDS challenge - it's a colour theme that seems to be scaring you but, honestly, there is nothing to be afraid of!
