Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Have a Mermazing Day as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Rosealea Mermaid And Sentiment Bundle.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I knew that I wanted to incorporate what I learn in a December 2020 Kit and Clowder Colouring Class to colour Rosealea. In the class, I learned how to create a rainbow-coloured fin as well as lots of texture on her tail using a stippling technique. I love that you can take what you learn and apply it to other things! I was so pleased with how Rosealea turned out!
Once my image was coloured, I pulled out the perfect piece of Whimsy Slimline paper! The colours in the scene matched my colouring to a T! The Whimsy paper makes it so easy to create a fast scene! The paper was die cut with a scallop boarder to mirror the scallops of her scales on her tail.
The sentiment was from the Bundle and to create interest, I added some real shells on one side and a silver mermaid charm on the other side. I used my Flush Wire Cutter to cut off the loops on the charm to make it lie flat. Tip: use Glossy Accents to create a strong adhesive hold.
I added a scattering of clear bubble embellishments around Rosealea to mimic air bubbles in the water and add dimension.
Clear Wink of Stella was added to her tail to give it a subtle shimmer and Glossy Accents to the pearls in her hair.
