Crafts and Me Stamps: Felicia Mermaid + Shiitake and Oregano

I'm so excited to have accepted an invitation to join the Dynamite Digi Design Team of Crafts and Me Stamps! I have been admiring the magnificent work of these very talented and inspiring artists for quite some time and I feel so privileged to join them in their adventures.

Teresa at Crafts and Me Stamps carries an incredible selection of fantasy art images.  Something magical happens when I work with these images from magnificent artists like Ching-Chou Kuik, Sarah Burrier, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Molly Harrison and Hannah Lynn.  My hands may be busy but my mind is at ease.  Worries are lifted.  I can relax and feel free to add color without restrictions since anything is acceptable in fantasy art.  The sizes of these images easily allow them to be the focal point of many projects without taking too much time to complete.  Relax and enjoy . . . it just doesn’t get any better than this – LOL!!!

This photo shows how I’ve used the newly released mermaid Felicia by Hannah Lynn.  I've included Best Creation's Surf's Up patterned paper with a Hero Arts sentiment, Punch Bunch medium dusty miller leaves, Petaloo's Color Me Crazy Wild Rose, Wild Orchid Crafts small roses and other colored roses.

The dimensions of this lovely, also newly released, Shiitake and Oregano image by Sara Burrier are perfect for including a handy removable bookmark from this pocket card.  I've used Bo Bunny's A Gift of Love Believe Peace patterned paper, Fiskars border punch, QuicKutz flourishes, a sentiment by Penny Black on the bookmark, another sentiment by Stamps on Fire on the card front, McGill's fern punch, and Wild Orchid Crafts roses airbrushed with Copic colors.

Here's the removable bookmark:
