 | | I made this card for this weeks Free For All challenge for Birthdays are the best. Then I realized this also works for the letter M alphabet challenge. I realized my friend's birthday is here and I need to send a card today. YIKES! She loves mermaids the way I love birds so I CASEd a mermaid card I had done earlier this year: https: Mermaid's Pearl of Wisdom by Art Deco Diva at Splitcoaststampers I made subtle changes to this card from the original card in that I used different cs for the layers and I added more sparkle and shine with a wink of stella pen. I stamped and die cut the mermaid, fish, and turtle and colored these images with copic markers and colored pencils. Then I stamped, colored and fussy cut the oyster shell. For the water I used the detailed layer of the lake stamp from the Kitchen Sink Stamps Cabin by the Lake stamp set. I inked the lake stamp up, spritzed it with water, then stamped it. I inked it up repeatedly, spritzed it with water and moved it around on the cs until I had the effect I wanted. I sponged the sea bottom with SU creamy caramel ink and a sponge dauber. Then I stamped over the sea bottom with the sand stamp in the mermaid set. I used clear wink of stella on the mermail's tail, the 2 pearls, the turtle and the fish. This was a really fun card to make again. Thanks for looking! ~Karen. |
