White Leaf Mermaid- in brown

This image from Sweet Pea Stamps is drawn by Elaine Cox and titled "White Leaf Mermaid". Yes, I know that on my card the leaves are brown. I actually really enjoyed coloring this in a monochromatic manner using brown as my single color. I have done this before with black and greys, but never the brown. I really like the look. The seahorses on the side are just a fun little touch and made with a punch.

White Leaf Mermaid and Holiday Collage( Father's Day card)

Today I have 2 cards to share with you. This first one was created with White Leaf Mermaid plate # 48 by Elaine Cox and you can get yours at Sweet Pea Stamps. I used some Basic Grey Bittersweet DP, cuttlebug embossing folder, American Crafts Ribbon, Fiskars hearts and some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The image was colored with copics. I also added some Platuim ink over the embossed design. And the I miss you sentiment is from one of the newest Sweet Pea releases. I added some pink brads to both ends of the sentiment.

Here is my card I created for my husband for Father's Day. I used one of the new collage stamps from Sweet Pea Stamps called Holiday Collage #56. The background of the image had snowflakes and the word peace in it so I decided to cut out the deer and use it for my husbands Father's Day card.

Anyone who knows him knows he is a big deer hunter and almost everything I get him deer on it. But this year I went to Lowes and got him a HUGE gas/charcoal grill!!!

I used some K&Company DP and I used a Creative Memories leaf punch that I added ink too , to distress them. I made my frame for the deer with my oval nesties. And I added some pearl bling that I colored with copics to match my DP.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Elaine Cox White Leaf Mermaid

Hi Everyone,

For my post today I decided to play with Elaine Cox's White Leaf Mermaid from Plate#48. Not only did I use Copics to color this wonderful image, I also used my Prismacolor markers for the rock, Twinkling H2O's for the background and some Spica Glitter pens for the vines, leaves and the fish. I then finished off the image panel by applying a glass effect gel with a spatula, spreading the gel unevenly over the whole panel to give that impression of water.

Besides using ribbon, I created 'shavings' from card stock scraps to give the card a little more texture. I just adhered these 'shavings' underneath the stamped panel.

It really never ceases to amaze me how much fun it is to play with all of the whimsical and magical images from Sweet Pea Stamps. Here's one final look at the finished card and note, lol, I did not even mention that there are a few (ahem) goof ups. Mental note to myself, can not use an iron to speed up drying time on gloss gel :-).

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to have fun with these awesome stamps from Sweet Pea Stamps!
