I had intended in making some more christmas cards (over the weekend ) from a pretty pad of papers I bought in a sale and catch up on all your blogs but time dictated otherwise. I had to resort to checking through my picture store as I knew I had this card that I made way back in the beginning of last yr and haven't gotten round to showing. I went to a class run by Lisa B (aka Lisa Pearce) and was taken right out of my comfort zone with the two cards that we made. This is one of them.
Stamps are Hobby Arts ' Mermaids' by Lisa Pearce. Background was created on water colour cardstock using oxide inks and painting the images using inks and a brush. The sentiment came in the set. I finished off round the edges of the images with a silver gel pen when I got home. I am really pleased how this card turned out as this is a set of stamps that I wouldn't think to normally use. I am annoyed now that I didn't buy them on the day of the workshop!

You may have been out of your comfort zone but you sure got the job done, Valery. This is so pretty and I love that sentiment.
What a cute little scene!! I LOVE the addition of the silver pen along the edges of the images! It makes it look like they were embossed with silver powder; so pretty! Thanks for playing with LTSCB and The House That Stamps Built.

This is absolutely stunning - I never think of doing a sea scene on a card - I must try to this year - Michelle x
Beautiful under the sea scene you've lovingly created. I rather like the pink schools of little fishes and the sentiment is well suited to your card and life x
Hi Valery, what a wonderful card, love the brilliant design and colours, the images are fabulous,such a lot to see. Sorry to hear that your trip to the dentist turned out as it did. Hopefully it heals up quickly, Kate x x
Beautiful underwater scene. I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't buy stamps that I have used at a workshop and then later regret not purchasing them. Thank you for joining in the Anything Goes Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.
