Crafts & Me DT Card............

Good morning everyone how are you all doing? Well would you believe we have sunshine here this morning, we are being spoilt lol.
Well its time for Crafts & Me new challenge & this week its the 'Rockin' Rubbah Girlz' & this week our lovely sweet Amy has set the challenge.
We Are In Stitches
No we dont mean from running or laughing lol....... we mean the sewing kind or indeed the faux kind, fake or real we dont mind my sweeties.
We have the fabby Whiff Of Joy sponsoring us this week with a gorgeous rubber stamp on offer.
I have inked up another unopened neglected one & boy did I enjoy colouring this beauty in, here she is...
Yes another mermaid today lol.
Isn't she so beautiful...... This is 'Pearl Swirl Mermaid' by Jasmine Becket-Griffith which is exclusive to
Crafts & Me

This is 1 of the flowers I won from Magnolia they are lush & this one I sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist & then opened the flower up. Its hard to get a piccy of the full sparkle. It has been attached to a crochet flower handmade by moi. You can also see the tulle better that is under the lace.

I added 2 love hearts punched out using my MS Punch & inked the edges with Weathered Wood distress ink. Tag is Tim Holtz.

This beauty I painted with Distress Inks because I wanted a softer feel to her unforunately those eyes are lush & I thought they would love a bit of drama......so they are not so much soft but more dramatic!! Oh but doesnt she deserve them. I still need to practice my painting, its the skin I struggle with more than anything.
I also did the gems in her hair with a blue souffle pen & then added Ice stickles to them to give her some bling. Her tail & top also had a shimmer of glitter dust on her.

The paper I've used is 'Madeline' by Prima, mine is the A4 pad from Bunny Zoes's but you can only get it in 6x6 now, I love this pad its gorgeous. All the edges were inked with weathered wood & then distressed with my scissors. The scroll is a magnolia doo hickey. Card is from my stash including the ribbed kraft card which I love.
Well thats it from me please pop over to see my teamies stunning creations & I hope you will come along & join in the fun.......you will end up in stitches......lol.

Welcome to my new followers thank you so much for being here. I would also like to thank you all for your kind comments you really know how to cheer a gal up, crafters really are the most awesome people, mmwah.
