Yellow out there

Card for my Babcia

For this card I used marbled paper as my background. I marbled lots of paper last Summer, so I still have some in my stash. I purchased the blue/yellow ribbon in the fabric store in town. I have realized that fabric stores have lots of supplies for card-making/scrapbooking. The blue flower button comes from there as well. 

I created the digi girl, but thought she (the blonde girl) looked sort of plain, so I did another version of her (but quite so different) as well. Look below for the different versions of my digi girl.

free digital stamp

Actually, this is the first time that I have made a digi and felt satisfied with the result. I like my black-haired girl so much that I will make more of her (will update later in July - she will probably be a common guest at my blog from now on). I might as well give her a name. Molly. She looks like a Molly, to me. 

Come out of your seashell

For this card I used the digi stamp Water Babe from A Day For Daisies. The tails were coloured with just "normal" coloured pencils and then painted with metallic sand paint to get the right glow. For the skin I used ProMarker - Almond (I actually tried ProMarker for the first time hehe). I covered the mermaid's head with sea glass in green and brownish.

The shell template came with the July issue of Crafts Beautiful. I printed the template on light purple paper. Then I put a layer of Metallic Sand Paint on it. I decorated with some molluscs, sea glass and freshwater pearls.
