SweetPea


I was so lucky to be one of the winners in the "In A Sweet Pea Dream" blog win. One of the items in there was this gorgeous stamp. Now I had to ink it up, didn't I?
The challenge for "Under the Sea" is still going on and they don't mind more than one entry. This seemed the ideal challenge to enter it.
The ribbon flower is inspired by Ira Huberts. She makes the most amazing creations of all sorts.

The sketch followed was that of Card Patterns #99.
The image is coloured using promakers
I used papers from Crafty Chaos, and some hand made paper behind the mermaid and for the stamped sentiment plus other bits in stash.






The ribbon was gathered up on thread before sticking down.

All mounted onto a white card base.





I am entering this into the challenge over at In A Sweet Pea Dream - Under The Sea
