Fun in the Sun with Mermaid Lily!


I was finally able to get my inky little fingers on some Pink Cat Studio stamps featuring the lovely Lily! This one is from the new Lily at the Beach set that I picked up from All That Scraps!

I'm really enjoying having some time this week to join in some challenges just because! This layout is from this week's Our Creative Corner Challenge which is a sketch. Have I mentioned how much I love sketches??

I stamped Lily on Wausau bright white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in with Copic markers that coordinate with the My Mind's Eye patterned paper from the Penny Lane line. The card base and accent cardstocks are both Bazzill Bling....I love my Bling! I used the Deckled Rectangle Nesties to cut out Lily and emboss her. I used my BG10 marker to colour the sky, making sure to only colour out to the embossed part.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set on So Saffron cardstock and used my 1 1/4" scalloped circle punch to punch it out. Then I attached some yellow glitter brads in all four corners. I pop dotted Lily and the sentiment, then added some wide So Saffron grosgrain ribbon! I finished it off by adding sparkle to the starfish and her tail with my Stardust Sakura gel pen.



In case anyone wants to know, here are the Copic markers that I used: E00, R20, E25, E31, Y32, BG10, BG11, BG72, BG18 and YG03.

You may be seeing alot more of Lily over the next little while. I'm lovin' these cute summer scenes! Have a super day!
