Sweet November Preview - Pebble with Jumbo and Gumbo

Welcome to the Day 3 of Sweet November stamp previews for June. These will be available for sale at the All That Scraps store on Sunday, June 5. Todays projects feature "Pebble with Jumbo and Gumbo". Be sure to also click on over to guest designer Kris Palakiko. Amy, the artist of the Sweet November line has a another Pebble project to share and also outlines the details on how to win some fun blog candy just by you leaving comments on the designer's blogs, including mine.

Now on to my card. I was so excited to see this sweetie pie riding along in a shell. I adore seashells - they are just one of the miracles of life. I instantly knew that I wanted to create a scene and I started out by using a Louby Lou underwater digital stamp which I printed twice, once onto the solid water looking paper as the background and then again onto a subtle pattern paper. I cut out the images on the patterned paper and then used the background print as a guideline for placement. I wanted it to appear that this little mermaid had floated on her shell to the bottom of the sea. After I had my background finished I stamped Pebble onto Copics X-Press It cardstock, colored with Copics and then cut out. I attached to the scene using pop dots to give it a floating look. All patterned paper and chipboard buttons are from an older Crate Paper collection, Blue Hill. I thought the buttons looked somewhat like starfish.
