I Brake for...Mermaids

Here it is! Last week I promised you a mermaid card and I get to share it with you today! Oh boy, is the detail on this stamp lovely! One of the wonderful things about rubber stamps is that they can be much more detailed than their clear counterparts. For images like this one all that detail just adds to the splendor.

I'm trying to learn how to embrace patterned paper, it is never my go-to, but I wanted a little something added to this card that wasn't a frame. I had already painted this beautiful creature and the bubbles around her when I discovered the most perfect patterned paper to accent her surroundings. I blue mermaid among pink bubbles. Hey, mermaids are fantasy, so bubbles can be pink in that fantasy! ;)

I didn't care for the joint, where my watercolor paper met with the patterned paper, fortunately, I had several washi choices to choose from. I chose a sparkly pink and sparkly silver washi which helped bring out the sparkle in this Mermaid's tail.

I had painted her with Zig Real Brush Markers, after having stamped her in StazOn black ink. To make her just a smidge more magical I added some pearl cobalt blue, from my Kuretake "Pearl Colors" set just to her tail. The result is a lovely card that I think any woman would love to receive.

I hope you enjoyed my card! I LOVED coloring it! There are SO MANY fabulous fantasy cards at I Brake for Stamps that I am positive you'll find one that will transport you to your own little fantasy world! If you are looking for exactly this stamp, her name is Mareisha, she's on page 2 if you search Mermaids!

I Brake For Note Cards

Hi, Jamie Martin here with you today with some of my favorite cards to make, clean and simple, they look so fresh and pretty.  That's the style I used to make some note cards using stamps from I Brake For Stamps.  The roses and words are from the Fruit and Flowers Sheet set, and I really like the Victorian look that they have.

To make the green card, the roses were stamped on a white panel with Peeled Paint Distress ink. A thin strip of Scor-Tape was placed below the roses, Beautiful was stamped below that three times and then more Scor-Tape was placed below that.  The liner was then removed and ultra fine gold glitter was rubbed on the tape.  This as then layered onto a green panel and mounted to a white card. As a finishing touch a few gold Dot Sparklers were added around the roses.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to Stamp This!

I Brake for Santa Shy Bear Ornaments

Good morning Peeps.....Beth here today and I have something a little different for you I have done a porcelain ornament stamping it with Santa Face Shy Bear and one of the snowflake stamps from The Christmas Plate.

I colored my image with Stampin-Up markers and Stickles snowflake stamped with blue ink after everything dried I sprayed the ornament with clear acrylic and added some glitter to give this little fellow some sparkle.

Hope you have enjoyed my post today see you next week with another 3-D project.

Hugs
