Little Mermaid...

I couldn't resist this cute mermaid image on the Eureka Stamps website, she is so pretty adults and children would love to receive her!

As you can see I have embellished the card using real shells that we collected from the beach and stuck on using silicone.  I think this gives the card a rustic look.

The Mermaid image can be found here.

I coloured the image using Promarkers: Almond, Dusky Pink. Caramel, Sandstone, Denim Blue, Pastel Pink.

Card Cupids & The Stamping Boutique July 1st Challenge

I am so thrilled to be on the Card Cupids Design Team.  This is a very exciting post for me as it is the first challenge.  We have been sponsored by The Stamping Boutique to create a card using Ribbon, Twine or Washi Tape.  I must admit I love ribbon and have enough to last me a life time, so I opted to make my card using ribbon and it also complimented the image I chose beautifully to give it that feminine feeling I was after.  I did also use a small amount of Twine through my button holes.  The image I have used can be found here.

Here is my card for 1st July Challenge:
