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.

Irish Christmas Fae

Hello dear creative peeps out there. After a long time of hot and sunny weather we have a rainy day today. So what can you do better than be creative...

I want to show you a card I just made today. Somehow I am in the mood for making Christmas cards this week... So I used the beautiful image by Hannah Lynn called Irish Christmas Fae. You can get this lovely image as a digi stamps over at Crafts and Me. I love Hannah's images so much as I have so much fun colouring them. I coloured her with Copics. I think it's not recognizable for the first view that it is a Christmas image.

For this card I used the Sketch by Cute Card Thursday:
