Are you a mermaid or a fish? Just a little reminder to revel in your sparkling self. The Mermaid tail and water on the Fish or Mermaid stamp were colored with Nuvo Glitter Markers. The background is blended ink over A Colorful Life Designs Stencil called Art Fish, with Distress Oxide Inks. Today is the last day for 15% off the June new releases - don't miss out!

Amazing You!

There are hardly any flowers that speak of spring like tulips. So I chose to use this Tulips Background as the focal image.   But I used a different method to stamp and color the tulips.   Let me tell you what I did.   I used a stamp platform and this is important.

I first inked the stamp with Gina K black amalgam ink.   Then I used the Nuvo Glitter Markers to color the tulips and leaves.   These markers are pretty opaque when you color over lines.  But that was OK because when I was finished coloring the image, I then reinked the stamp with Versafine black ink making sure the whole image is inked.  Then I covered it all with clear embossing powder and it really popped!  Then I lightly, very lightly spritzed the background with  Ocean Depth Shimmering Bliss.

I stamped Simply Amazing on pink vellum and heat embossing the verse.
