Sea Angel

Here's a card using a stunning image from artist Renee Biertempfel called Sea Angel (Plate #144). I wanted to make a card using all different shades of pink. First I colored the Sea Angel using Copic Markers and then found lovely embellishments to surround her that matched the pink tones used on the card.Here's a closer look at the colored image so you can see the wonderful detail in this stamp. Isn't she stunning? All of the stamps on this sheet are gorgeous! I added a great saying to the card "Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers. Hans Christian Anderson." The saying is available on Plate #24.


The fun embellishments on the card are paper strips from Doodlebug, but you could easily make your own with decorative scissors or great punches. The flowers are from Imaginescense and are called Tiger Lily.



Hope this card inspires you today. Makes me want to go out to the beach. Maybe I will see an angel.



Cheers, Holley

    Holley, I never would have thought of putting red with pink but I really like how it looks. And love how you used those edge die cuts. Love the whimsical feel of this card.

    Thanks everyone!! I really loved the month off, particularly because My DH and I never ever GO on a vacation and this is the first time in five years that we have, but I SO missed the daily crafting that I do. Hugs, Holley
