Polkadoodles' - Winnie MerMazing: Best Friends

This weekend we are getting some much needed Vitamin SEA with the debut of the new Winnie Mer-Mazing Mermaid collection! Each of the 6 new digital stamps is available in black and white and/or color, and there's also an AMAZING VALUE big bundle that features all of the images, 6 coordinating digital papers, and 11 mermaid sentiments! You can see the big bundle HERE.

For my first project share today, I've used the image Best Friends. Oh my heart...they are the sweetest! I think this might be my favorite image from the collection...or at the very least, tied for first with Kisses.

Here's the full view of the card. I've paired her with a sentiment and several of the papers from the Big Bundle. It's a super value, and I highly recommend it! The papers are so rich and vibrant - just gorgeous. 

I've colored the image with Copic markers, and added clear Wink of Stella here and there for a little extra fun. I went really funky and bold with the colors in her hair - I think it turned out pretty cool. If you're going to be a mermaid, you can pretty much rock any style you want, am I right?! ;) I've used the Fanciful Circles nested die set to cut out my main image. The layered paper flowers are all from Prima and the gem in the middle is from Eyelet Outlet. The dry embossing folders on the solid cardstock layers are both older Cuttlebug ones, and the scalloped oval is Sizzix. Washi tape in the way back is from Dollar Tree and the lace is from my stash. Tons and tons of foam squares on here to pop up each and every layer to a different height for texture and depth.
