Sweet November July Release Preview - Day One

Whoo Hoo!  It is once again time for new Sweet November stamps!  This release is a set of three adorable little mermaids.  Amy, Nancy, and I will be featuring each mermaid separately over the next three days.  Let the cuteness begin!

Nami is the name of today's little mermaid.  She appears to be the more laid back of the girls, choosing to spend her time on shore daydreaming, and watching the activities of the creatures that wash up on the beach.


For this card, I paired Nami with an image from the Wax Fruit Company entitled Starfish. The Starfish scene and sentiment were printed on Canson Mi-Teintes textured paper.  I digitially added a touch of color to the sand and water before printing.  Shading was added to the Starfish scene with Copics and Prisma Color Pencils.  The two starfish were colored with Copics.  I also colored Nami with Copics, fussy cut her out, and popped her up with foam dots.

To see more of Nami, please visit Amy's blog and Nancy's blog.  Their cards are sure to delight!  If you leave a comment on my blog, you'll be entered to win Amy's generous candy.  If you leave a comment on all three blogs, you'll have three chances to win!

The stamp set of Nami and her sisters will be available for purchase July 3rd at the all new C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps and Dies shop (formerly All That Scraps).

  12. Ok, I'm picking my jaw up off the ground now... WOWZERS Tress! This card is in my top three most favorite CAS cards ever! I love how you printed the scene out along the top of the card, it's kinda like looking through a window. And your gorgeously colored Nami is so at home resting on that sandy beach. Hats off to you my friend, this is a show stopper! :)
