LeighSBDesigns; MerMay Blog Hop - May 11

 LeighSB Designs MerMay Blog Hop.



For more details hop over to Leigh's page


I am now onto my 11th post!

I am continuing with my 12 by 12" never-ending card - which has become a collection of sea-life... today I am showing you the 4th view.

 I wanted this page to continue with the colour scheme  "Terracotta and Turquoise"
but also use real rubber stamps so that I could link it to the
 Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge # 98

I started by adding this beautiful paper to the sections of my final page - again from crafterschoice Minerals 12 by 12 paper pad.

I then stamped some images... the Octopus is from Pink Ink Designs, the Jellyfish are from Stampendous.


I then started thinking of colouring with Copics to try and stay within the colour scheme.
I practised with the jellyfish making a couple of ATCs:

The fish shoal is also from the Octopus set.

 This is where I ended up:





So our mermaid loves the jellyfish but on sight of the octopus she turns tail!!

 The tail is cut from Merwitch from LeighSBDesigns and coloured with Copics.
Another elusive mermaid, Lyneen...


Here is today's final version:


And today's page:



I will link today's page to Leigh's MerMay Hop  

 And also to the Dream In Darkness Blog





Happy Crafting!
