My First Fhiona!

I got my order from Your Next Stamp and I had to play right away! I used Yippee Fhiona and a sentiment from Happy Days Mermaid to make this:

YippeeFhiona1

Isn’t she just the cutest?!  I colored her with Copics, cut her out and mounted her with foam boosters.  For a little extra something special, I added a couple Prima flowers with a Swarovski crystal to her headband.  The papers are from Basic Grey (Lemonade is one of my fave collections they’ve ever made!) and the ribbon is from My Favorite Things. 

I used a sketch from Sketchy Thursday:

ESS52

I also wanted to let you know that Sketchy Thursday is celebrating one year of sketches and you can win a $52 stampy shopping spree!! The only catch is that she needs at least 52 entries to give away the prize, but you are allowed to enter multiple times so why don't you play along? Click here for all the details!
