Fancy fantasy

Today it is time for a new challenge over at Stampin' for the weekend and this time around the theme is one that all us girlies like it's fairies and fantasy.

Although I love fairies I have been hankering after a mermaid image for a while now and thought this would be a perfect excuse :)

Here is my card
The first thing to point out is that I printed the stamp onto pearlescent card, although it doesn't show on the photo, it looks great. I coloured that super sweet image, from Sylia Zet, first with my pro-markers then added a little more depth with my prisma & poly chromos. The tail is covered with stickles glitter and I added glossy accents to the bubbles. The background was then chalked blue - which also doesn't show well in the picture !

The papers are all digi from different kits I haven't listed them but if you see one that you particularly like just holler and I'll let you know :)

Here is an extra pic for you

Lets get sentimental :)

Today is time for another fab new challenge over at Jellypark friends and this week we want to see you make your sentiment the main focus of your card

Here is my card made using one of the images from the baby sentiments set available at the jellypark store here

The set is amazing value you get 6 great baby themed sentiments for just £2.25 - here is a peek
I tried something different by adding some doodling around the edge of the sentiment with a white gel pen and a black fine liner - what do you think ?

So for the details - I used lots of die cuts - Spellbinders circles & scalloped circles and the corners are also spellbinders. The aqua scalloped border is bought die cut border from doodbebug. I also used 2 ribbons - teal satin and white chiffon topped of with a button and a websters pages sparkler.
