Handsome Mermen

 Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

This is my final reminder for the Anything Goes/Mermaid Challenge that is happening in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group  There is only a couple of days left to enter and so I thought for my final card I would leave you with these two handsome Mermen

They are called Mariner Sevenseas and Fluke Swiftfin  I thought I would try a leopard print pattern on Mariner Sevenseas and I quite like how it turned out

I also used the rocks from the Ocean Builder Background Sets 1 & 2 and the sentiment is a clear stamp which you can find in the store HERE

I thought this sentiment went well with these dashing guys!

I have coloured this whole scene using Copics.  I have been using lots of Blue and Green Shades this month with all the water scenes for Mermay. I have lots of favourite colours depending on what I am creating but Blues and Greens are definitely a firm favourite for Mermaid cards

 

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges

Sparkle Moondrifter

 Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

I am still busily trying to get as many mermaids coloured up before the end of the month to play along in the extra challenge that is taking place in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group The minimum number is 20 but you can try and get 31 if you can.  Not sure how many I will get finished by the end of the month but I am still battling on lol

For this card I have used Sparkle Moondrifter  She actually comes with a couple of friends but I didn't include them in my scene.  I decided to give her a sparkly tail to go with her name.  I also used elements of the Ocean Background Builder Digi Sets and coloured them all up using Copics

Moon Glow Mermaid

 Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

I am continuing on with sharing my cards that feature the new clear stamps that were released at the weekend in celebration of MerMay.  If you haven't seen any of the projects using these fabulous stamps then please head to the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group where there is lots of inspiration from the talented DT

For this card I attempted a night scene.  The image is from the Any Fin is Possible Set and I coloured this up using Copics.  I took my inspiration from Amy Young as she has one similar which she did quite a few years ago now. You can check out her amazing projects on her blog HERE 

I wanted to practice my moon glow over the water.  I still think it needs more practice but I am quite happy with how it turned out.  I coloured this whole scene using Copics and added some water splashes using a white gel pen
