Joanne Schempp's Lolita

This week I've chosen to work with Joanne Schempp's striking Lolita image:
I love the way this mermaid rises up out of the sea in a striking pose. Isn't she beautiful? I coloured her with my Prismacolor pencils:
I chose papers from Prima and cardstock from Stampin' Up! that echoed the colour scheme I'd used in colouring the image - a deep teal and warm yellows and oranges - and added a length of orange chiffon ribbon before using a circular frame die and leafy flourish die to frame the image in the centre of the card:
I finished things off with a pretty bow and some dots of sparkly orange Stickles in each of the corners:
You can buy this image in either red rubber or digi format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

  1. Wow, Ali, so bright and beautiful. I love the orange and yellow combination and the fact that you colored her hair purple. I would have never thought to do that. Awesome. It really stands out when you look at her.

  3. Ali, this is so bright and cheery and works wonderfully with the image. Just wish I had more courage to do brighter colours. They seem to work for others but then when I try I don't like/don't think they work!!! Best wishes, Kym xxx
