Mermaid Vibes...

Hi there!

Yesterday I pulled out the fun Mermaid Vibes set by Impronte d'Autore and stamped up this cute scene for a quick color up. This giggling mermaid paired perfectly with the happy jellyfish in the set, making it look like these two friends are sharing an amusing joke with each other. The oyster, starfish and sentiment are all part of the same set and I colored in the sand beneath them by hand. Once that was in place I masked the characters off and used the Copic airbrush system to add the water around them. Now, I picked up my Mermaid Vibes set at Crafty Purple Frog, who has a great selection of Impronte d'Autore clear stamp sets, and it looks like it is still in stock. Amy is so great to work with.  :)

Okey dokey, have a good one!

High tides and good vibes...

Good morning!

On Saturday I colored the Otterly Fun digi from the new Love to Sea You release at Sweet November Stamps during my Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. This pretty mermaid ended up looking like quite the rock and roll diva with her hot pink hair and lime green and black tail that we gave her. These two are definitely dancing through the currents under the sea. As always it was a blast coloring along with everyone's suggestions and I love how this card came together. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

New digi kit at The Greeting Farm!

 


Good morning!

Surprise! There's a new digi set that was just added to the TGF store, and it is perfect for all our sewing and quilting friends. The Seamstress Anya set includes everything you need to create the perfect sewing room, along with a couple of sentiments a super cute Anya and a few of her furry friends.  What makes it even more fun is that this set mixes and matches so easily with the other room builder sets and cute Anya digis that are already available. With so many great builder images included, I easily got two completely different slimline scenes out of it. 

This first card finds Seamstress Anya and her shaggy pup keeping cozy in her quilting room. The quilt rack showcases her beautiful blanket art and I borrowed the comfy chair from the Nursery set to give Anya the perfect spot to relax and do some hand stitching.


 

My second slimline card finds one of the Anyas from the Backs 3 set busy working in her well appointed sewing studio. She is quite the seamstress with a bunch of cute clothing to show for all her hard work. Watch out fashion world, a new famous designer is on her way!

Toodles!
