Rayne

Wanting to try something completely different, I decided to give this beautiful girl an aqua skin color, to match the sea theme going on. I really like how it turned out, reminding me of a mermaid.

As always I colored with my copics, and these are the ones I used:
Skin: BG10, Bg11, Bg23
Blues: B21, B23, B24
Purples: V20, V22, V25, V28
Yellows: Y11, Y13, Y15

I had some very old die cuts of sea weed lying around. And I just love when I can dig into my stash and get some of it used. So even though they don't match perfectly in color, they match in theme. And I thought that to be good enough.

The image is Norma J Burnell's Rayne, and it's available at the Sweet Pea Stamp Store as both digi and rubber.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Tera's Mermaid briefcase

Hallo,

   Tera here with another project for you. I altered a briefcase and added a couple Sweet Pea Stamps images - one for each side - mermaid style.

This first picture features a mermaid by Norna J. Burnell called 'Rayne' and the other side I used Elaine Cox's 'Kiara'. Bothe were colored with prismacolor pencils and layered to a couple Spellbinders dies.

I covered the briefcase front and back with some pretty oceany looking paper and then added the image layers and lastly added some shells, charms and some beads too.

 I had such fun with this one - the idea had been brewing for a long time (I have a large stash of used briefcases that I have plans for :)

All for me today - Have a great day!!!!

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.
