Pirate Captain

This adorable stamp is Little Pirate designed by Samantha Rawlings and originally available from Sweet Pea Stamps, who have sadly closed up shop. I stamped the image onto white card, coloured her in using Promarkers, then mounted the image onto a piece of blue card and a piece of silver card.

I cut a piece of the same blue card to use as the background and used Versamark ink to leave the watermark tentacles on either side of the image.

I just couldn't resist the quote from Margaret Atwood as this card was for my Mum, she might be a Granny but she's not an adult.

Pretty Little Mermaid

I love the combination of these stamps, the mermaid is from the now closed Sweet Pea stamps and was designed by Elaine Cox. The net behind the mermaid is a Kaisercrafts stamp and the mermaid tails in the background is a Stamp Press stamp.

The first thing I had to do was create the background for the net so it had time to dry off before I stamped onto it, I used the shaving foam and ink method, after a few minutes it was safe enough to stamp the net in a mid green ink.
Next I stamped the mermaid onto a piece of white A7 card and coloured the image using Promarkers in various colours, finally adding a touch of shimmer using a clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.

Finally I stamped the mermaid tails onto a piece of 6x6 green card using versamark ink to give it the watermark finish.

The girl with flowers in her hair.

I love my rubber stamps from Sweet Pea stamps and have quite a few in my stash. Unfortunately I can not remember who this one is by and can now no longer check as Sweet Pea shut down last year.
So here is my take on this particular stamp.

I stamped the image and coloured her with Promarkers, I then mounted her on pale blue card. The background is a piece of water colour card inked using the shaving foam and ink method (I love messy)

I used Sue Wilson dies to cut the flowers out in blue and purple, adding Creative Expressions Dazzlers for finish them off.

I used a Cheery Lynn die to cut the Happy Birthday words.

Skull Girl

This is a little card I made for my friends birthday a while ago, however for some reason I forgot to post it on here, oh well.

So this young lady is a digi from Helena Reis over at Sweet Pea Stamps, she is called Dia de los Muertos, I think she's just so cute.

I coloured her in using my Promarkers, mounted her onto red card and added two silver cobweb corners using a die from Cheery Lynn

.
I then used an 8x8 piece of black card to start my background, I stamped and embossed several skulls in white and added a bit of red gilding wax around the skulls.

Finally I stuck red glitter letters to black card and stuck those to the finished card.

Bugs and Hisses

 This little cutie is one of many Halloween cards I shall be making this year.
The small square dies are from Xcut and the cobweb frame and background dies are from Memory Box.
The Bugs and Hisses stamp is a Stampendous stamp.
The little witch is a Sweet Pea stamp but unfortunetly I can not remember who she is by.
She was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:

TN3, TN4, TN5, TN6, PP1, EB3, BG7, GG3, FS2, FS3, CT1, GB6, PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, OR1, OR2.

The image was finished off with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.
