Mermaid

Just starting on a new canvas.  Got her sketched out and lightly color blocked with PanPastels.  This is an big painting for me, and I feel a little out of my safe zone.  Also it is a request and a gift.....Oh the pressure!  The mermaid image is based on a rubber stamp that I have, I figured it would give me a nice starting point.  I plan to document the process here and see how this painting evolves.  Alright everybody, hold your breath, its time to dive in!

Neon Challenge

There is a great weekly challenge over at my friend Amy's blog, Scrappin N Style .  This weeks challenge is NEON with a little something sweet!  Well here is a quick little card I made that hopefully fits the bill.  Kraft,  neon pink and green cardstock, with some Prima printed cardstock.  I also used the new dylusions color sprays (fabulous!) and a bit of pink gumball perfect pearls spray (although it doesn't show well in this picture).  Any way, here is my contribution to the Sweet Neon craze!  Thanks Amy!
