Stampin' For the Weekend First Challenge


This is the first challenge launched on my birthday last Friday.
The theme "From Dusk to Dawn" using the colours purple and yellow.
Anyway here is my card using my favorite stamp at the moment Mermaid Anya, I have used Sakura Stardust pens so it is nice and sparkly (as mermaids should be).
Papers from K&Co(yellow) and Papermania (purple), flowers from Prima finished with adhesive stones,little dots of liquid pearl in 2 corners, seahorse charm from my stash.
Thank you for the challenge ladies, I don;t normally use yellow but it looks fab with purple.

I love the layout and the thorn papers you used. Mermaid Anya is such a cutie, no wonder she's your favourite image right now, and you coloured her beautifuly, too. :)

We hope you'll play along with us next week, too.

Have a great day

What a lovely sparkly mermaid you've done. These Anyas are really popular and so easy to color. Love all the torn paper you've done, very effective, and the sea horse charm was a perfect touch to your card.
