Hello! I have made a quick card today (well, quick once I figured out what I wanted to do - that part took FOREVER!) that uses one of Elaine Cox's beautiful mermaid images (called Dreamy Sandcastle), one piece of cardstock for the card, one piece of DP and 2 ribbons. I am happy with the final, simple look, but I spent hours putting things on and taking things off! I finally decided to just let the sweet mermaid be the star!
The Details:
Stamps: Elaine Cox's Dreamy Sandcastle (Plate 52), sentiment from ching chou kuik's Plate 20 - both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Nautical Blue Dark (Prism), White for image (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: Y15,Y17,YR04,YR09, E08
Tail: R24,R29,R39,E08.E18
Sky: B91,BG10
Water: B95,B97,B99
Sand: E30,E31,E33,E35
Misc: Ribbon (brown - SU, Scarlet Jewel - Papertrey Ink)

So stunning! I love how you make the card glow. I really want to be able to master that kind of technique. I have one of the distressinks so I should be able to make it. Thanks for the inspiration.
