Card Art with Copics: Sweet Pea Stamps Wait For You

I'm happy that I was able to make some time to play with one of the Sweet Pea Stamps that I received as a three-count grab bag prize for participating in a recent Sweet Pea Stampers challenge.

Here's a view of Ching-Chou Kuik's Wait For You image that I've filled using some of my favorite Copic colors.  I've used Spellbinders Scalloped Octagons to die cut my Bazzill Bling shaped card then cut around my Wait For You mermaid.  A bit of Glossy Accents over the hanging hearts and some Diamond Stickles painted over the fin add some shine and sparkle.


I really want my image to be seen so I added minimal embellishments.  Simple, layered felt flowers from a Stampin' Up! Flower Fusion Too set, held together with a mini brad, adorn a corner of my Inkadinkado sentiment.


Here's a view of the clean and simple shaped card front allowing my image to remain the focal point:
