I got such a sweet surprise in the mail yesterday from my crafty pals, Heidi and her beautiful daughter Brooke, who sent me this adorable mermaid stamp from Lili of the Valley. I've had my eye on the LOTV mermaids for a while now but hadn't ordered any yet. So this out of the blue gift totally put a smile on my face and obviously got my creative juices flowing right away because here she is on a card already. Thank you SO much Heidi and Brooke! :)
When I get stamps like this, with little critter friends around them, I have a tendency to cut them apart and make separate stamps that I can then use together or alone. This was especially easy to do since the LOTV come unmounted. So even though I used all three of the seahorses that came with this little mermaid they are positioned differently and I like that freedom. I decided to keep the design CAS with just a bit of that paper to give me my color palette. And those new twinkle blooms that ATS just got in are even cooler in person... I liked that their shiny appearance could pass for sea anemones. There really isn't much more to it than that... cute, quick, and oh so fun to put together. :)
And with that I shall bid you adieu, to you and you and you... ;)

Darling, really cute images and touch.
Oh Amy, what super sweet little card! I really think you nailed it with the little sea anemones. They do look fantastic as her friends swim and play around her. This is just adorable and I couldn't think of a better person to see color this up. I am still taking my time getting back into blogging and creating, but I always love visiting your blog. Hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs Lisa
