DESTINY CHRISTMAS AT THE BEACH–FAERY INK INSPIRATION

Hello everyone and Happy Monday!   Hope everyone had a great weekend.  All was great here, a break from soccer for the next few weekends, although we were still pretty busy – went to a great Halloween party Saturday night and got to enjoy some really lovely weather all weekend

 

I am here to share some Faery Ink inspiration with you today.   I have chosen the awesome digital stamp, Destiny Christmas at the Beach, this month for my inspiration post.  This stunning image can be found in the Faery Ink Shop, in fact she is BRAND NEW!    As always, Amanda's images from Faery Ink Shop are super fun to color - always so many options and often great scenery included in the image.

 

I really had fun coloring this image with my Copics.   Image is cut with my Cameo and then added to die cut background from MFT.  I added Stickles to her hat brim and pom and some embellie sea shells from my stash to go along with the beach theme.  This double pocket card is made from circles cut with my Cameo and then folded and trimmed.  Papers are from Bella Blvd.

Sentiment is from a clear stamp set and I chose this great double tag die cut from my stash to make the insert for the top pocket.  I added ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Ribbon on bottom of card is also from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Gothic Fun with Faery Ink and Belladonna Vampire

Hello everyone and Happy Monday!   Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was supposed to be super busy, but some bad weather caused a few cancellations and postponements of some of our planned activities.  I got to use my time wisely, finally being able to get through months of e-mails!

I am here to share some Faery Ink inspiration with you today.   I have chosen the fabulous Belladonna Vampire digital stamp this month for my inspiration post.  This stunning image can be found in the Faery Ink Shop, in fact she is BRAND NEW in the shop today!.  As always, Amanda's images from Faery Ink Shop are super fun to color - always so many options and often great scenery included in the image.

I have really been enjoying experimenting with different color combos recently and trying to use ones that are less familiar to me and perhaps not as main stream in some cases.  This image begged me to use what I call Gothic color combos on it.  I am really pleased with how she turned out, I think these colors work so well with this stunning image.

Image is cut with my Cameo.  I chose papers from Bo Bunny and Heartfelt Creations for my card, I think they give it just the right spooky look that I wanted.  This is a variation of the box pop up card.  I used die cuts for the bat and haunted house, added some sentiments cut with Crealies dies and buttons from my stash.

Hair:  V09, V17, V15, V12
Face/Skin: RV000, RV00, RV02, V01
Lips/Eyes: V09, V04, V01
Bodice: V99, V95, V93, V91, W00
