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:
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:
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!!
