Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Always Be A Mermaid Card using the stamp called ‘Mermaid’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I love this sweet mermaid and her little friends!
For my card, I knew that I wanted to create a slim line card for her with a pretty watery background! I coloured her with my Copic markers. I especially had fun with her tail and used two different colour combinations to give it a mermaid look. And then, I added Stickles since you know mermaids have sparkly tails! Once I coloured her and her friends, I fussy cut them out.
For my water, I pulled out my Distress Oxides and worked from light in the centre (Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon) where I wanted to highlight her to the darkest at the edges (Salty Ocean and Broken China). Once I did that, I splattered water on the panel and removed the water droplets with a paper towel to give some dimension. Next, I splattered the panel with the Frost White shimmer paint and let everything dry.
Some dies from my stash, a scattering of clear dew drops, and real shells are added to finish my watery scene.
