Featured Artist Week: Norma J Burnell - Ali's Card

This week at Sweet Pea Stamps the Design Team are featuring the artwork of Norma J Burnell in our creations. I chose to use one of her newly-released stamps for my creation - this stamp is called Rayne:
I love the underwater theme of this image and I wanted to colour the skin in cool tones to really convey the idea of her being underwater... so I coloured the image with my Promarkers, using pale blue tones to colour just the shaded areas of skin:
I teamed the image with some gorgeous sea-themed paper in toning colours and added lots of detail with scraps of cheesecloth and pretty flowers...
...and a little charm and a swirl or two of bling. :)
This, and Norma's other fabulous stamps, are available in red rubber format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store and for this week only they are on special offer at 15% discount.
