Mermaid Monday

Hi stampers! Happy Monday, the start of a new week. It's kind of a wacky one here, we just have a few things going on out of the norm and I kind of hate that. I'm not sure if I'll get much time in the stamp studio, but we shall see. I did clean a bit and reorganize my inks and papers over the weekend...instead of actually stamping...sigh. But it feels good to have that done and I'm slowly and I mean SLOWLY getting used to the color changes. I can't wait to fill the holes in my ink pad storage with our new colors!

Speaking of colors, I was SO, so happy to see Coastal Cabana and Mint Macaron returning! I immediately thought they would look great on a mermaid card and I wasn't wrong! I still kind of can't believe this adorable set isn't going to be in the new catalog. So, if you want it, better grab it!

I watercolored my mermaid with both Coastal Cabana and Mint Macaron. Her scales have a little Wink Of Stella for sparkle. The background is also those two colors. I took my silicon sheet and scribbled on it in various places with the markers then spritzed it and squished my paper on it. Once it was dry, I took an aqua painter and added some drops with Coastal Cabana. I also stamped a few bubbles form the stamp set.

Those Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate Sheets are also retiring and this print is perfect for mermaid cards! A few well placed gold flakes completed my card! I hope you like her!

Stampin Up 2018 Occasions and SAB Display Stamper Blog Hop - Day 3

Hi stampers! We're on day three of our display stamper blog hop and I hope you're loving the sneak peeks so far! If you're new, make sure to go back and check out days one and two and then come back for the rest of the week!

I hope you're not getting sick of the Myths & Magic suite yet because I've got more coming up. I promise you'll get a break from it soon though :-)

This suite really is SO cute and I guess I went a little heavy on the samples but can you blame me? You don't even have to use the stamp set much! The DSP is great for your main image which is what my two samples today feature. I cut this little mermaid out and used her to make a shaker card!

This project is a little different but it's super cute! I just took one of our clear boxes and made a little wizard diorama. I fussy cut my wizards and the castle from the DSP and used the Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon for grass. Isn't it cute? You could do the same with the smaller unicorns too, I think! I have to say, my hubby gave me the idea for this one when he walked into my office and saw ALL this stuff ALL OVER the floor LOL!
