Glittery "Almost Time Mermaid" Digi Stamp By Diana Martin Studio

Hi Everyone,
    As promised I have a new card for you today and it is a great image!! Another beautiful one from Diana Martin Studio  http://www.etsy.com/shop/DianaMartinStudio?ref=seller_info I have attached her link for you to go and see what wonderful images she has.  The one I decorated is titled "Almost Time" and it is of a pregnant mermaid waiting for her new baby.  Now on to the details ;)

~The Details~
Since these are digital images I don't use my watercolor pencils like I normally would but I do color the background and the skin tones with my pearlescent chalks and then I use regular colored pencils just blended well.  All the glitter I used this week was from Stuff by David http://stores.ebay.com/stuffbydavid?_rdc=1  the link for his store is attached.  The tiny half pearls I used in her hair, and on her top and on the gold mesh ribbon are from his store as well.  The glitter colors I used were the following : her hair ~ metallic coffie, her mermaid body ~ metallic purple, midnight blue, laser blue and her tail was done in baby blue iridescent.  The plants, sand and fish were colored with my smooch accent inks.  I added real sand dollars, starfish and shells and gold rox by judith.  The background paper with the blue and green was made with my tattered angels sprays.
I like how she turned out but that is because I love doing glitter this way !!! ;D   Hope you like her too and thanks for looking at my newest glittery creation ;)

Mermaid Royalty Lion fish --- New Digi by Diana Martin Studio

Hi everyone,
    I decided to share this great new digi I found when I was looking for mermaids... It is by Diana Martin Studio called Mermaid Royalty Lion fish.  You can purchase it here http://www.etsy.com/shop/DianaMartinStudio on Diana's Etsy shop along with a lot of other great images and artwork she has available.  I am in love with these new mermaids and have had such fun with them. 

~The Details~
I colored the background and parts of the image with my pearlescent chalks and then I used some smooch inks on the fish, sea anemone, her arm bangle and her shells.  The rest of the image was colored with colored pencils and then glittered with several types of glitter -- of course ... lol ;)  I then added some Judith Rox's to the bottom along with some starfish.  I also added jewels to her hair and all her jewelry.  I love how she turned out and I am going to be working on another one titled "Almost Time Now"  for someone who is due to have a baby in the near future.  I will share that one when it is done.  Hope you liked my glittery creation and don't forget to check out Diana's fabulous work. 
Thanks for looking ;)

My Treasured Exotic October

Hi again,
I decided to share the other card I finished yesterday ... it is another image by Ching-Chou Kuik titled "Exotic October"  I love this image !!  The way my background came out it reminded me of her being in a dungeon or something especially with the candles.  So that gave me the idea to add the key hole and the key (I had just bought the keyholes).  I added the treasure to the top because I think someone locked her up as someone to treasure just for themselves.  Twisted right ;)

~ The Details ~
The image was stamped in Jet Black Staz-On ink and then watercolored and chalked with pearlescent chalks.  After that she was glittered and then matted on paper that I made with some of my Tattered Angels sprays.  To finish she was matted on other papers and corner pieces were added along with pearls and other accents.  Thanks for looking at my glittery creation. ;)

Sweet Serenity --- In A Sweet Pea Dream --- Lace --- Challenge # 19

Hi again,
  I am feeling much better and so happy I can craft again after a terrible flare up with my fibromyalgia.  I chose the lovely image "Serenity" by Ching-Chou Kuik... this was another one of those had to have it images...  there are so many of them ;)   This image along with lots of other great images is available here at Sweet Pea Stamps http://www.sweetpeastamps.com/  ;)

~ The Details ~
I stamped the image "Serenity" in Staz-On Jet Black ink and then colored her with pearlescent chalks and watercolor pencils.  After that I glittered her, matted her on pearlescent paper and added purple rhinestones. To finish her I matted the script paper added the purple lace, flowers and  punched out butterflies. I like how she turned out ;)  Thanks for taking the time to look at my newest glittery creation ;)

Syren Of The Sea Tag

Hi again,
   I wanted to share my pretty little Syren Of The Sea this week.  This image is from The Greeting Farm rubber stamps and as soon as it was listed I bought it. ;)  I can't wait to do her in my plexi-glass with glitter decorations / keychains.

~ The Details ~
 She was stamped in Azure Staz-On ink and the water colored, glittered and then cut out.  The tag was sprayed with Tattered Angels - Fully Purple spray.  Next I hot fixed deep blue sea and sky blue nail heads all around the outside of the tag -- you can purchase the nail heads here at my friend David's store Stuff By David http://stores.ebay.com/stuffbydavid?_rdc=1  Then I added pieces of white magic mesh to the tag and popped up Syren and put her on the tag along with some seaweed (pieces from artificial pine branches) and shells.  I then added all kinds of Rox's by Judith and tiny beadies to the bottom of the tag and around the outer edges along with some little baby shells. To finish it I put different types of ribbon and fibers through the top of the tag and put a aqua brad in the center and one of my pretty pins in the top.  Hope you like her and thanks for checking out my latest glittery creation. ;)

Blue In The Wind --- In A Sweet Pea Dream --- Wings --- Challenge # 18

Hello again,
   I have been busy doing new stuff for my Etsy shop but I had lots of fun with this week's challenge.  I chose "In The Wind" By Ching-Chou Kouk... this is a great image and I am really loving the way she turned out.  This image is available here http://www.sweetpeastamps.com/  at Sweet Pea Stamps along with lots of other great stamps. ;)

~ The Details ~
I decided to do this image in aqua and royal blue with purple in the background ... I love combining aqua and purple together ;)  The image was stamped in Jet Black -- Staz-On Ink and the background and her skin were done in pearlescent chalks.  The rest of the image was colored with watercolor pencils and then glittered ;)  I matted the image on pearlecent papers and added the swirl background paper.  I then decorated the rest of my card with rhinestone stars, photo corners and a strip of fringe ribbon.  Attached to the fringe ribbon is one of my decorative pins ... to finish this card I added the "Exploration" sentiment.  I am happy with how she turned out and I hope you like her too. Thanks for taking the time to look at my latest glittery creation ;)
