Hi, everyone! For my card today, I have combined three challenges....this week's Color Challenge of Cherry Cobbler, Blueberry Bushel and Bermuda Bay (dessert option of sparkle.. the images were painted with Glimmer Mist after water-coloring them), this week's Sketch Challenge, plus the October Fan Club Central Theme Challenge since I have used a mermaid. I began by adding red, blue, and aqua alcohol inks onto Yupo paper and blended them together. The ODBD 'Chalkboard Fan' Background stamp was inked with Alcohol Lift Ink, stamped onto the yupo panel to lift the colors, then stamped onto white cardstock. Once the ink was transferred, the cardstock panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies. The stamps I used are from 'Happy Days Mermaids' from Your Next Stamp, which I won during the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges. After stamping the images and cutting them out with the custom dies, I tried something new (and not easy) and water-colored with rubbing alcohol and the same alcohol inks I used on the background panel. Since alcohol inks are permanent, they dry immediately and they are hard to blend as in normal water-coloring. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Awesome use of the colors! Love the background. It must really shimmer IRL. A sweet & creative take on the sketch. The mermaid is so cute. Fabulous card. TFS
