I futzed and futzed on this one, took out 4 different stamp set, inked and stamped, cut out and played and couldn't seem to find focus. Eventually I picked up my mermaid Anya and things came together. I couldnt' decide what color to make her so I stamped her a few times on different colors and then decided to combine them by paper piecing her together. I wanted her to stand out so I went with a lot of white with just some colored borders and the silver cord frame which I strung through some eyelets. I took forever making sure the 2 background pieces were *right* next to each other and perfectly lined up so that the pattern would be continuous and then I managed to cover it up with my main panel and now you can't tel! Oh well.
Oh, and I sustained my first stamping injury creating this card. I somehow managed to cut my finger on the sharp inside edge of a stamp pad as I was trying to close it!
As always, thanks for looking!
