Isn't she lovely? This rubber stamps had no name so I didn't know where they came from, I'm so lucky to own them and grateful to my aunt for her generosity. A long time passed until I came across one of this images on Pinterest and that is how I found out they were from a company called Sweet Pea Designs but, when I went to look of it, sadly they had gone out of business.
I stamped my image onto a panel of Canson water color paper with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder then, colored it with SU Markers, an aqua painter and some Prismacolor pencils.
The Bubbles on the background are from Designs by Ryn and the shells from an old Flourishes set called "Seaside Life".

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.
The sentiment is from another retired Flourishes set called "Orchids" and the shells from the Seaside Life set.

Really I didn't know that box had mermaids in it too! Such a treasure that box the fairies alone were worth more thank 10.00!

Absolutely gorgeous, and what a treasure to find! I volunteer in such a shop (though over here they are pretty much always linked to charities, and therefore we call them charity shops), but more than two years in, not a single stamp has passed through. Good thing I'm not there for them, lol.
Thank you for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week. Sammy-x
