Tranquil

Little Fairwee here, is having a sneaky five minute rest and enjoying the wildlife

Mermaid at sunset

Sweet November Stamps have a new release out and while I was waiting for this to arrive I decided to coloured up m mermaids. We were staying in a caravan by the sea when I was doing this one and so it felt fitting that the mermaid was talking to Mr Turtle while the sun was rising. I am totally in love with that sky

Fishes

These little fishes really stole my heart and it was this stamp set that made me determined to learn to colour water scenes

Moonlit Mermaid

This little scene was inspired by some Whimsey Slimline paper that I saw a lady use in a Facebook group and I thought oh I have the perfect mermaid for a backdrop like that. I have changed it a little but the general shape and idea is the same

Turtle

I saw with Turtles in the wild when we got married and as much as I am a bit of a scary cat when it comes to creatures, there is something a little magestic and elegant abput the way they glide through the water

cave

Wow this little mermaid and her fishy friends are very impressed with their little selves today, they have found a pearl in a cavern

Kelly

I have never managed to come up with a scene for this little fairy before, but this misty arch is just perfect adding to the magical illusion 

selkie

A freebie from Sweet November Stamps and it really is pushing my comfort here, You may not have noticed but I avoid mermaids like the plaque as I really struggle with under water scenes but it is time to bite the bullet and stop been a baby. So I pulled on my big girls pants and went for it, It didn't actually turn out as totally underwater, but is definitely a sea scene

Mermaid

I totally forgot I had got this stamp free last month until the Sweet November Stamps Newsletter dropped into my inbox and I got his months freebie. I think I felt a little intimidated as I am not very confident with under water scenes but I do love how it turned out

magical gnome

This beautiful gnome is having a lovely stroll through the magical forest while drinking her tea. I sure hope her mug keeps her drink warmer than mine did at my sons football match on Sunday Morning 

Be a mermaid

This is Charlie, Sweet November Stamps created Charlie as part of the Self Esteem Blog Hop, Charlie is based on the young lady who inspired the hop. 

Mystical Fairies

So anyone that follows me on Instagram may have seen I have signed up  to the Sandy Allnock enchantment class and after following the first class, she encourages to practice and change up the colours, so I thought this pink and purple forest would be perfect for a fairy 

Gnina

 We have a tired gnome, she has spent the last few hours sewing the seeds for the harvest and has snuck inside to have five minutes peace with a good book away from Mr gnome

Sweet November Release

So I woke up to a message asking if I would like to guest design for Sweet November Stamps. Of course I said yes!!! There are 4 vault releases and 1 new release. I literally could not decide which image to use so made a card for each one. So as not to bore you I will only blog one but will share the photos of the others.

This is the one I am blogging
