Stormy Moon

There are so many gorgeous mermaid images available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  One of the amazing artists of mermaids is Elaine Cox and this one is called Stormy Moon.  She was a joy to color.
 

I am especially pleased with the sky background and how it turned out.  I did it a different way than I have tried before and just crossed my fingers.

You can get Stormy Moon in  red rubber HERE or digital HERE.

Snap shots

Today I have a card I want to share that uses matted images (Elaine Cox's Mirima and Stormy Moon) that I like to call snap shots. Depending on your age, at one point in time or another you have either seen or even used an instant camera that would eject the picture out of the camera. You waited a short time and presto! Your picture was ready. While digitals have taken over the world, I still think an instant camera were marvelous creations - there is no need to run to a computer or kiosk to have it developed. But I digress...to create your own snap shots is very simple.

Cut a piece of white card stock to 3.5 x 4.5, this will be your mat.
For the stamped image you will need another piece of card stock, I want to say white since we are taking a picture, and cut it to 3 x 3.
Stamp and color the image.
Stamp a sentiment on the lower 1" section of the mat (for authenticity hand write it!).
Adhere the two pieces of paper together leaving a .25 border at the top and along the sides of the stamped image.

To finish up the card I am sharing today, I cut a 6 x 6 piece of Prima paper, inked the edges with some brown ink, flipped the Prima paper and cut it to 5.5" and inked those edges and attached the two pieces together, centering. Adhere the snapshots at angles, overlapping. Embellish with a Maya Road satin flower (something I will try and CASE for you sometime) and some Tattered Angels chipboard corners sprayed with a Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed your stop today and will find yourself addicted to snap shots like I am! Don't forget to check out the great sale on grab bags in the Sweet Pea Stamps store! ttfn

Stormy Moon

Hello creative peoples out there. Today I want to share I card I made with one of the amazing mermaids from the Elaine Cox Art Collection. This beauty is called Stormy Moon and is available on plate # 106 together with three more fabulous images, which is on Sale right now! You can get it as a single stamp as well.

I coloured her with Distress Inks on 300 gram watercolour paper. I love the combination of green and yellow.   I cannot remember what designer paper I used for the background. It was a scrap in the box I wanted to use and from what I thought would fit perfect to this image. You know, I always chose the papers first before I start colouring.

Wish everyone a happy day and thank you so much for looking. Always much appreciated.
Hugs, Karina
