The Sea Is Calling

I recently treated myself to a few bits from the Graphic 45 'Voyage Beneath The Sea' collection.  Typically of me I waited until it has been discontinued to decide to buy it, so it wasn't easy to find somewhere selling all the bits I wanted!  

My mermaid image collection is getting larger though and I wanted something to go with them better.   Now I need some dies.... lol.

I have paired the papers with the super-cute 'Happy Little Mermaid' image from Aurora Wings that I chose as one of my images for winning Artist's Choice in March.  

Product list:

• Kraft card blank from Michaels
• Graphic 45 Voyage Beneath The Sea papers, ephemera card and embellishment
• Twine
• Ranger Stickles - Green, Yellow & Platinum
• ProMarkers - Umber, Khaki, Pastel Beige, Satin, Antique Pink, Pastel Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Ginger, Saffron, Oatmeal, Vanilla, Blush, Burgundy, Pale Pink, Almond, Cyan, Duck Egg & Cool Aqua
• Wink of Stella, Clear
• Sakura Gelly Roll, White

I had a little 'oops' moment when colouring my mermaid - my Wink of Stella wasn't flowing too well, so I gave a little squeeze and a blob landed on the mermaid's tail.  At least it went in the right place, but she is somewhat more glittery than I was aiming for!

Don't forget there are still loads of bargains in the shop until the end of the month.

This time I am using a stamp I haven't used before - "Goldfish Kid". I always shy away from male images for some reason, so I thought it was about time to use one.  For this card I have also decided to break out some stash I haven't used for a while, which is the patterned papers.
