CYP #92 - Mythical Creatures - A Day For Daisies

Our sponsor at Craft Your Passion this week is one of my all time favorite digital stamp designers, A Day For Daisies. She has such a unique and whimsical style that evokes such a feeling of being in a fantasy world. I just love designing with her stamps.

Our challenge this week is "Mythical Creatures" - something A Day For Daisies has a ton of great images to match. I thought this sweet little mermaid made an adorable birthday card with her bouquet of balloons. These design papers are from Recollections, the sentiment stamp from TCP and the image is colored with Copics. Simple but sweet!

You should pop over to Craft Your Passion and join us this week. The winning card will receive a great prize from A Day For Daisies and I would love to see your creations!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Make It Monday - #71 - Linky Party
Sunday's With Crissy - #25 - Beat the Mid-Winter Blues
A Day For Daisies - #34 - Pretty Pastels
Catch The Bug - January - Anything Goes

A card for Jen

When I needed an image to make a card for my niece's birthday, I immediately thought of this cute fairy from A Day For Daisies. I'm not sure why, but for some reason, it reminds me of Jen when she was younger. I had fun coloring her with my Copic's, trying to keep it soft and pastel, but as always, I have a hard time leaving white, so it ended up a little darker than I pictured. I do like it though. The background is all Copic colored as well, and the wings were just touched with a little yellow, then I used my concoction of shimmer paint to give it sparkle. (I have the instructions for this in my tutorial section if you are interested). I distressed the edges of the papers, (some DCWV and some Basic Grey), then finished it with a little baker's twine from My Minds Eye and a matching button on the stamped sentiment. I think Jen will appreciate it this happy little card.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
