Mermaid

I was delighted to be invited to be a Guest Designer for the September Country View Challenge.   The theme for September is 'Under the Sea' and this is my card, which will appear on the challenge blog later in the month. 
The beautiful image is a Lavinia stamp, 'Guinevere', stamped in Versafine 'Onyx Black'.  I coloured in the rocks with a grey Promarker.  The image and mat were die cut with Sue Wilson 'Double Pierced Ovals'.  The background was stencilled with three colours of Distress Ink.  Although it's difficult to see, the mermaid is holding a cream pearl.  I'm looking forward to seeing all your Under the Sea creations over in the Country View Challenge.


I am joining in the following challenges:
Lavinia World Challenges #8 ~ Anything Goes

    Congratulations Liz on being a GD over at Country View Challenge and I adore your pretty Lavinia mermaid in the stitched oval which looks so elegant, and then the beautifully coloured waves stencilling in the background complements her perfectly. x
