Greetings, everyone!

This week my Scrapy Land project is all about our inner Pink and Fresh Water!
Bourn Creative has this to say about pink:
It represents friendship, affection, harmony, relaxation, acceptance, contentment,
inner peace, approachability romance, charm, playfulness, and tenderness.
"In the Pink" means being healthy.
"Tickled Pink" means being happy and content.
It is the sweet side of the color red - both represent Love.
This means I see you all in a Pink Glow
because you're the sweetest blogging buddies ever!
The Challenge this fortnight at Scrapy Land is to create
a card using a stamped image (rubber or digi).
To enter the challenge follow the theme and use any die brand that Scrapy Land sells.

I love that this set has 3 pierced dies, AND that the dies can be used on the inside
of the design, or as "frames" for the outside of the design!

After the card was assembled, a Quickie Glue Pen was used on Serena the Mermaid to apply the Raspberry Soda Glitter.
Wavy blue background is Copics B0000 and B000.

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this mermaid and the way you coloured her, even the pretty sparkles along her skin. She's gorgeous and I have to go check out Michelle's art. Fabulous die and it creates such a lovely frame for this sweet gal. Yep, it's a wonderful card!
ReplyDeletevery cute card!!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, you asked me about what glue I am using to stick the gem ribbon, I am using silicone glue as it dries clear and yes I just go to the edge of the card.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps

This is so beautifully sparkly and feminine, love the dies you've used, so stylish and detailed!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning! And you even have included a tutorial on how to make it! Thank you for your step by step and for joining us at Colouring in Scrapland. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteDonna, Just gorgeous done in this rich color. I love this SW die set too, and it looks wonderful with this mysterious mermaid. I also liked the swirly bits tucked in the corners, as it mimics the water movement so nicely. Thanks for taking time to show the process steps. This is one awesome die. (yippee, I have it, but don't use it nearly so effectively as you've done here!) SWilson dies cut so smoothly too. TFS & Hope you're set for a good week. Hugs
