It's time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.
~~~*~~~*~~~
Today I have used the Farelle digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of birthday cards.
My cards started in Silhouette Studio, along with a pretty foliage circle cut file, sizing the image and "frame" to fit on a 5" square panel. I adjusted the settings to print 0.25pt black lines instead of cutting the design. I used a font from my digital stash to create the sentiment then printed the image panels on X-Press It blending card, heat set, trimmed to size then coloured with Copic markers. I cut a matting layer for each card then coloured the edges to match the mermaid's hair. I made some card bases from 200gsm smooth white cardstock, adhered the matting layers and image panels in place with liquid adhesive. I finished off the cards by adding metallic green pearls.
Here is Farelle with pretty purple hair.

This was my first time adding E11 to the Copic marker
combo for skin and I'm thrilled with the results.
