Meet Simona...

Welcome back to another day of Sister Stamps June release preview! My post today features Simona...
I wanted this card to have a more natural look, so I chose only couple of colors to compliment the browns. The starfishes were fussy cut and layered on top of her beautiful hair. Used a star tag and turned it into a starfish charm tied with twine. The green leaf-like border is part of an old ribbon pack from Michael's Recollections, and finally added some flowers and seashells at the bottom corner.

I have to admit, Simona's hair was a challenge to color. This is the third try that you see here. First try, the markers started to make ugly streaks. Then tried to color her hair only and  paper piece it on, but NOPE, that didn't work. So finally, I decided to re-stamp and color her entirely with different hair color than the original one. I have to fix those darn markers!

Okay... if you haven't yet, stop over at Debi's blog and Sister Stamps blog to see more cute stuff! One more day tomorrow to share the last of the mermaids!

Have a wonderful day! ;D
