I have been dying to grab one of the new Sweet November Mermaid images...this week's Cupcake Inspiration made it a Necessity!!! I went with Redkelp because of her cute little otter friend...the Office Manager at work's last name is Otter, so this will be a perfect image for her Birthdays!! I went with the colors of the cupcakes and the mermaid, of course.
This week's Etsy Inspired challenge is a shop with some Amazing vintage items...I picked out some Shell Napkin Holders and even though there aren't many shells in the paper or image I used the detail of the shells to inspire me for coloring the mermaids tail with lots of little dots...
The inside uses more of this gorgeous paper...
Supplies:
Stamps: Redkelp (Sweet November)
Paper: Seaside Retreat (Webster's Petite Papers,) Melon, Sunrise, Gable Green CS
Ink: Printer, Copic Markers
Misc: Satin Ribbon, Stickles, Edge Punch, Dew Drops
