Elisabeth Bell's Starr

Although I am on the digi design team for Sweet Pea Stampers, and I love working with digi stamps, I do also still love to play with rubber stamps too... and when I saw the new releases from Elisabeth Bell, I just *had* to get these sweet little mermaids for my collection! :)
So here's a bit of an extra card from me, using Elisabeth Bell's Starr stamp:
Isn't she just gorgeous? I love the cute roundness of her features and her beautiful flowing hair. I coloured her with Promarkers, using aquatic shades of blue and green:
I kept the card pretty simple, using a cream card base and a gorgeous filigree paper from Papermania. I die-cut a pretty frame from cream card and trimmed the image to fit inside it and then added a few flowers to finish:
Et voila. A very quick and simple - but really pretty - card. :)
