Hello again everyone
I have put together another sea scene - third attempt more successful than previous two that were housed in their new home, the recycle bin!!! I call it cardmakers heaven and they will never be lonely thats for sure
I have put together a Youtube tutorial recreating this card HERE
Anyhow to my latest card. I used a mermaid not used before and the reason she is being dusted off today is that shares the same name as my Grandaughter's name Alana and this will be for her 18th Birthday in June. She makes me feel old and yet my youngest grandon will be four next week. The 6 inbetween 4 of them are 11 and the others are 15 and 13. Time flies huh.
I have called this ''Escape while I can''
Right onto the long list of ingredients for this one
Lavinia Stamps - Sea bubbles, fish set, sea creatures, marine kelp, shoal of fish, sea flower and Urchins
Lavinia sticker stencil set 6
Versafine clair inks Nocturne, medieval blue and twilight

Thank you Carol. They grow so fast don't know where the time goes xx
DeleteWOW! I'm officially rendered speechless in awe of this incredible work of art you've created for your grand-daughter, in celebration of her 18th birthday (I cannot believe you're a grandmother; you're way tooooo young!). I hope she frames it; it's...well, I have no words! Gorgeous! Sensational! Impressive! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity in the Just Us Girls gallery!
