You blow me away...



Hello friends!

This week we are adding two new digis to the Sweet November Stamps store, yep... TWO!
My initial inspiration for this week's mermaid was to have a whale that I could crop and blow up nice and big to really play with scale when paired with his mermaid friend. Then my sister got inspired by the whale idea and how it would be cute to see a mermaid riding the spray from a whale's spout. I gotta admit that sounded pretty fun too, so we ran with both ideas for a whole whale themed release. 

We also added two more updated Vault mermaids earlier in the week, Coral Reefweaver and Moki as well as Ocean Wavedancer and Echo. There is one more Vault mermaid to come and we are hoping to add her this weekend. If you haven't joined our Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook you are missing out on all the awesome cards being shared there... so much talent and inspiration. You can also find us on Instagram @sweetnovemberstamps and don't forget to use the #sweetnovemberstamps any time you share a card or project using SN images so we can see all of your beautiful makes!

Now let me introduce you to Glimmer Surfside and her whale of a friend, Humphrey. Glimmer Surfside is a mermaid who can't be contained in just one ocean or sea. She knows there is a whole big, blue world out there to explore and she wants to see it all. Her favorite traveling companion is Humphrey the humpback whale and she regularly joins him and his pod on their migrations.   


Next we have Splash Seasong who is a fun loving mermaid with a bit of a daredevil streak. the more extreme the water sport the more she wants to dive right into it! One of her favorite feats is to fly high into the air on the water spout from a whale and nail a perfect triple twist summer-salt dive on the way back down. 

I will be coloring one of these lovelies Live today at 11am PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see y'all there!

Toodles!
