Hello friends!
It's July 1st and that means today is all about a brand new Farm Fresh Challenge at The Greeting Farm! As you know, a new
challenge is issued at the beginning of every month over on the TGF blog
and this time around it is... 'H2O Love'. We are in those dog days of summer and what better way to keep cool than with some good ol' fun in the water? There are so many great images in the
TGF store that work with this theme and a few more are due to swim on to the scene in just a couple days. So get creative and show us your best water themed cards... playing along just might win you a $50 gift certificate!
For my card I printed out the cute Chibi Diver digi at a smaller scale and paired her up with one of the new mini mermaids from the upcoming release. I really love the interaction between these two, with the mermaid winking and Chibi looking totally amazed by what her eyes are seeing. The seaweed and starfish also come from the Little Mermaid set, there are a lot of fun accessory images included which make it super easy to create fun underwater scenes. ;)
Alrighty friends, have fun with this one. I can't wait to see what you create!
Supply list:

Hello, hello!
Since I kicked off this 'month of mermaids' with one of the darlings by Elisabeth Bell I figured it would be the perfect bookend to wrap it all up with another one of these sweet mermaids. This one is called Splish Splash and it looks like she has just swam up out of the water to rest on that cool stone seat. Her wet, dripping hair really inspired me to create a waterfall behind her. To do that, I masked her off then grabbed my Distressed Patterns stamp set and stamped the sketchy lines stamp repeatedly behind her in a very light blue ink. I then added the white sequins to mimic the frothing water at the bottom of the falls. Something about Splish Splash had me going in a 'thinking of you' direction for my card as well as a more muted color palette. There is just something very quiet and gentle about this little beauty.
Alrighty then, thanks for stopping by today! :)

Hi-ya!
Today was my turn to create a card for the TGF blog and I had one last Mer Bean left to be inked up so this was
the perfect reason to finally get little Oona on a
card of her own. This sweet girl looks like she has a lot of love to
share, as well as a sea shell or two, so I wanted to create a scene
where she would have a friend to keep her company. At first I was
looking through my various stamps sets to see who I could find to join Oona but ultimately I saved time stamping and coloring by simply using these super cute stickers from Doodlebug. Talk about easy peasy and I just love it when I manage to create a cute card in record time as well as use up some more of my crafty stash!
And even though Oona is currently available in the TGF store there are some fabulous new mermaids joining the TGF family this weekend so be sure to keep an eye out for them. :)
Laters!

Good morning!
Did you see the happy news? My wish on Friday's post for Pixie Mermaids from Tiddly Inks has come true in record time! Christy has created a set of six amazing mer pals called Amy and her Mini Mermaid Friends and I'm totally flattered to have inspired these cuties. I love them all so much that I couldn't decide on just one for my card today so I put a group of them together and created a little mini mermaid party. I mean seriously, how cute are they?! I'm also entering this card into the current "tingo challenge" with a pattern paper, Tiddly Inks image, distressing combination.
Big HUGE thanks to Christy for making this mermaid obsessed crafter a very happy girl. :)

Hello and good morning!
It's hard to believe that we are in the last week of June already and that means it's the end of my Month of Mermaids challenge. Even though the official month may be ending that doesn't mean there won't be more flippered friends showing up here on the ol' blog now and then, I guarantee that. ;)
Anywho... today's card features the gorgeous new Serena Sparkles from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I look forward to their mermaid release every year and I've yet to be disappointed. Serena originally comes with a much wider grin on her beautiful face but once I decided to use the dreaming sentiment I decided to do a small alteration to her mouth so that she would look more wistful and dreamy. Then I went for a traditional Ariel color scheme with her red hair and aqua hued tail because Ariel was always a dreamer. I'm also going to throw this in to the Wonderful Wednesday 'anything goes' challenge and try my luck there.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It

I needed something quick to color yesterday as my day was quite busy and there wasn't a lot of time for coloring. I looked through all my mermaid stamps and everything was looking a bit too involved. It got me wishing that there were some pixie style mermaids from Tiddly Inks. Hmmmm... I have an old stamp set of Tiddly Inks pixies that was sold by Stamping Bella, it probably wouldn't be too hard to wipe away their bodies and draw in new little mermaid tails. OMGoodness, why have I not done this alteration sooner? They are SO stinkin' cute and now I'm totally hoping that Christy Croll will make a few mermaid pixies for the store someday soon. Fingers crossed!
Alrighty folks, have a wonderful weekend! :)

Hi gals!
I'm really on the run this morning so I'm going to have to make this post short and sweet. Pearl, the gorgeous mermaid from Saturated Canary has been waiting ever so patiently for me to print her out and get her on a card. For some reason when I sat down to color I saw her with a goldfish tail so out came the yellows, reds and oranges. And what would a goldfish card be without a few touches of metallic gold added to the design as well? Luckily I had the gold sequins still sitting right in front of me and a thin strip of gold cardstock to pull it all together. I made the 'bubbles' in the background by letting my colorless blender rest on the paper, pushing the blue out. Then I just added drops of glossy accents over the white spots and I had instant bubbles.
Alrighty then, gotta go. TTYL!
:)

Olo!
I grabbed this freebie Mermaid digi off the ADFD blog last summer and I'm finally getting her on a card for this year's month of mermaids theme. She seems so peaceful and reflective that I wanted to keep the colors of the card soft and muted to help with that mood. The sentiment comes from a little Papertrey Ink set and again I think it really works with this sweet mermaid's vibe. I added some Eucalyptus Stickles to her tail so that it would be extra glittery and I could enter this card into the current "add glitter" challenge. Then I just added a few die cut seashells and a sprinkling of sequins to pull it all together.
Ok, time for me to scoot my boot. Take care everyone! :)

Hello, hello!
My bloggin' buddy Heidi recently added me to a new Facebook group called Markers! Papers! Digis! and to celebrate they have a few mermaid digi freebies until the end of the month. Well talk about perfect timing... as soon as I saw this gorgeous mermaid called Seeana by Amanda Byron I knew that I had to get her on a card for my month of mermaids. So I printed her out nice and big and just had a blast coloring her up. Once I had Seeana looking all bright and beautiful it didn't take much else to finish off the card... a bit of paper here, some sequins there and a die cut or two and voila! Thanks Heidi for introducing me to this fun new group and some great new digi stamps!
Later gators!

Good morning!
I still had a couple SOG mermaid digis printed out and sitting on my desk just waiting for their chance to swim into this month of mermaids and Sea Song Mae won the day. I also noticed that the current challenge over on the SOG Facebook fan page was to decorate a tag which was the perfect excuse to finally use this big tag that I got in a card kit years ago. I actually grabbed a Christmas themed border stamp set because I thought a couple of the borders, stamped and colored up in shades of green, could make for a fun kelp looking background. Then I just had a blast coloring up Sea Song in some funky, darker hues so that she would really make a statement on this relatively simple card.
Well, thanks for swimming by to say hi today... catch ya later! :)

The new release from Reverse Confetti included this sweet Mermaid Kisses set and since I had a gift certificate to their store burning a hole in my pocket I just had to order her right away. This little set has so many great sentiments as well as all the fun scene builders. I did wipe away the noses from both the mermaid and jellyfish before stamping but that is completely personal preference. Talk about fun to color up, now I think they make for a super cute underwater scene and card. All I had to do was mount them on a scalloped rectangle die and keep the rest of the card super CAS. I gotta say, I really love how this one all came together. :)
Alrighty folks, enjoy the weekend!

Hello, hello!
So sorry about yesterday's lack of post... there was a last minute change in the TGF release and I had to pull my card for a later date. I didn't catch the info 'til the morning so there was just no time to make a replacement card. But now I'm back with another mermaid swimming on to the scene. She's another one of the retired Elisabeth Bell mermaids from Sweet Pea Stamps called, Little Splash. I love how it looks like she has swam right up onto the beach and is just chillin'. So of course I had to create a scene to reflect that. Out came the Distress Inks and a bit of watercolor beach and sea, a Sharpie white marker provided the sea foam and clouds perfectly. Then I die cut a few starfish to tie it all together with the great sentiment that I got recently from Reverse Confetti. :)
Ok friends, I'll see ya tomorrow!

Olo!
I decided to get another one of the Mer Beans on a card and this time I inked up Shelly. You may be thinking that she looks a bit different and you would be right because I altered her original sleepy eyes and traced in wide open eyes instead. It's a small change but it really adds a lot of pep and energy to this little sweetie. I paired her up with some Doodlebug stickers and vellum cut with stitched waves dies to create a merry time maritime scene, LOL! Just one more Mer Bean to go and I will have finally inked them all up and given them homes. Which is a good thing considering there are some new TGF mermaids heading to shore very soon. ;)
Later gators!

Hello there!
Today I'm branching out and coloring a mermaid digi from a new-to-me company, Make It Crafty. This fabulous finned friend is called Mermaid Melusina and I think it's easy to see why she's the first MIC digi to show up on the ol' blog. Just look at her sweet face and that tail... so much fun to color! I masked Melusina off and did a bit of stamping with the MFT Distressed Patterns set to create the faux watercolor look behind her. I really love the energy it adds to the over-all card design. :)

TGIF everybody!
Well, there is no new mermaid card to share because yesterday was so busy that I didn't even make it into my crafty room for a minute. Total bummer, as that is usually my time to unwind and relax but it just didn't happen. Luckily I still had this fun card from the TGF mini release in the bank, waiting to make an appearance here on the ol' blog. I built the scene using a bunch of random paper scraps so that this mini Anya would have a place to park her scooter and see the sights. The bushes were made using flat bottom cloud dies and green paper, I can't tell you how proud of myself I was at coming up with that little A-ha moment, LOL! Ya gotta love it when you find ways to use tools in ways that make them even more versatile. :)
Alrighty time for me to scoot on into a new weekend... have a good one!

Hello crafty friends!
Today is my turn to post over on the TGF blog and I just had to stick to the mermaid theme going on this month. Right away I went to my Bean collection and ended up grabbing the super cute little Mer Bean, Mishell for my card. She looks so bright and cheery that I wanted to give Mishell
a rainbow background to reflect her colorful demeanor. Rather than the
traditional rainbow though, I grabbed a school of fish stamp from the Stampin' Up Sea Street set and inked
it up in a rainbow of colors then stamped it repeatedly to create the
background. I've also used a fun new sentiment that is coming out soon
in a special clear release, so keep your eyes peeled for even more
fintastic TGF darlings in the near future! ;)
Toodles!

Hello friends!
Today's mermaid is the dreamy Mermaid of Star digi from A Day For Daisies (though I couldn't find her on the site to link up anymore). I printed her out rather big so that she would float across the entire front of the card. Though I had to be sure to leave enough room for some pretty paper to show so that I could enter this card into the current 'Floral Paper' challenge. At first I thought it would be hard to find a floral print that would work with the mermaid theme but when I came across this old Heidi Grace print the sketchy flowers actually kinda looked like sea anemones... perfect! So I pulled my Copic colors to match and got this pretty card done just like that. :)

Hello, hello!
The current SOG Facebook community challenge is wrapping up today and I really wanted to make a card for it considering it is "anything simple goes". I can do CAS, especially when I have a gorgeous image like Bubbles Mermaid to take center stage. I've had her printed out for awhile now, as well as a couple of her sisters, and Bubbles was the one to make it on a card first. Mostly because I had this great bubble print paper that I've been wanting to use too, LOL! This card really came together super quick and I couldn't be happier with it. :)
Alrighty, I'm outta here. Talk at'cha later!

Good morning!
Today's lovely mermaid comes from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and she is part of the Sea Jewels set that unfortunately is now discontinued. I altered her just a bit by wiping the crown off her head. The little seahorses came from the Fin-tastic Friends set but I think they like their new home with Sea Jewel. I did a bit of watercolor "smooshing" for the background using three different Distress Inks, every time I do this fun technique I end up telling myself that I really need to do it more often, LOL! I added sequins for 'bubbles' and even though you can't see it in the photo there is a bunch of Wink of Stella glitter on her tail so that I can enter this card into the current Saturday challenge, "Glitter & Sequins". :)
Have a great week everybody!

Olo!
It's day 2 of my 'month of mermaids' and I chose to print out the lovely Water Lily digi from Sugar Nellie. She's a recent purchase in preparation for this month's theme and she's currently on sale right now because before too long Water Lily will be discontinued and no longer available. Another mermaid daydreaming on a rock and once again I was inspired to color an entire scene for her. This time I went with a mid day look and gave Water Lily an inlet to call home... it looks so peaceful, don'tcha think? And I'm also entering this card into the current Anything Goes challenge at The Sugar Bowl.
Alrighty, time for me to scoot. Have a wonderful weekend everybody! :)
