StampInsanity Inspiration

Good morning! Today begins a new challenge over at StampInsanity. This time around we were asked to use this gorgeous pic as inspiration.

This is what I came up with. I used Mystic Beauties Bumblina and colored her in similar colors to the inspiration piece. I used the sketch from Sketch and Stash. The yellow DP, that was a must have about a year ago, is from my stash that has never been used before this card. The faux stitching was added to give it a little something extra, not sure if I accomplished that though.

My First Guest DT Spot featuring Mystic Beauties

This month I am a guest DT member for StampInsanity, so I get to strut my stuff with the Groovy Gurlz. Today is also the Debut of Mystic Beauties. Don't these gurlz look fun.

Challenge #8 is to make an easel card. I decided to use Pearl Princess for my first project, boy was she fun to color. I printed her out on Georgia Pacific card stock and I'm actually surprised I was able to color her so well. I've tried a few images before on GP and they ended up a complete mess. I think I'm finally getting the hang of using my Copics on GP card stock. I can't believe I even manage to color the background black. Sure if you look closely you'll see where the black bled out a bit, but all in all I think she looks pretty cool. Well I may have gone a bit overboard embellishing this card, but I love the end result.

So Beth made me this cool watermark (see it on card above). I love it but I don't have any fancy software to put watermarks on my pics. After putting the watermark on my card the colors got washed out a bit so I decided to leave the rest of my pics without the watermark, sorry Beth :(. I think this way you can see the crystal effects on the black pearl a little bit better as well a better take on the colors. I used the sketch from .
