Two Sweetpea Cards - One Aqua, one Lime Green

This first card was a challenge set by my lovely friend Cathy. I gave her the colour pink, ok not her favourite colour but I got lime green! I decided to use distressed inks to colour her and basically blended all my greens until I go the right shading. I thought she looked very wood nymph so I distressed tea dye in the background and added a leaf charm. The papers are Basic Grey Origins, which have been distressed and torn.

This was a trial I decided to see what she would look like with blue skin to reflect the pael light of the moon and the sea. I actually think that it has come out very well, although due to the light this morning you can not see the twinkle of the moon which was painted in H2O's and also the stickles which I have dotted to make waves and on the stars and round the image. I punched out the waves with a martha stewart flourish punch and used my wave inspired lace with a little anchor charm attached. I did not want to loose too much of the backing paper which is DCWV Once upon a time mermaid sheet as she looks as if she is leaping out of the waves.
