Ocean Fantasy

After the busy holiday season, I finally had a chance to sit down, unwind and attempt to color. It's always hard for me to choose from the beautiful stamps and decided to close my eyes and let my fingers pick a stamp. (After this month, my brain and head needs a rest :-) So my friends, for my card today, I (ahem, my fingers) picked Ocean Fantasy from Plate #21.

I decided to use my oval nestability die to 'focus' on the beautiful mermaid. Since I had not played with my Copics in what seemed like ages, it took me a while to get her colored.

The card base is 4.25" by 5.25" because I had a kit from Rusty Pickle and decided to use the file folder extending the tab at the top. The prismatic card stock panel is from Colorbok and the glittery swirls are stickers from White Blossom.

Added a handmade ribbon rose, satin ribbon leaf vines and a button. I used tweezers to tuck the end of the leaf vine ribbon into the button holes.

As always when I started out coloring I had doubts thinking that my "mojo" had not returned but anytime I sit down and start coloring any of the Sweet Pea Stamps, I always end up finding my crafting mojo.

Make sure to stop by the shop and check the latest specials :-)..... thanks so much for stopping by.
