Hello Friend Mermaid card

I've had this beautiful Stampendous Mermaid stamp for a while and I couldn't  resist using her for Simon Says challenge Go Fish.

 

 

Products used:

Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five

Spellbinders S4-237 Floral Flourishes

Stampendous Mermaid

Penny Black 30-172 April Showers

Imaginisce Sea Shells

Yasutomo shimmer paints

Ranger Distress ink, watercolor paper, Archival ink

Deep Red bubbles background M1N4B5

Colorbox pigment White

Spectrum Noir clear Glitter pen

Misti

I started with my Spellbinders die and cut the outside frame from some beautiful aqua blue card from my stash. Then I cut the center panel from watercolor paper. I placed it in my Misti making sure to mark where it edges were for later. I stamped the Mermaid and painted her with the shimmer paints then stamped again on the Misti.

Then using masking paper I covered her and Inked my background with my distress inks and randomly stamped the bubbles all around her. Using dimensional tape I popped up the outside frame and then adhered the Mermaid flat onto the center of the white card. I took another piece of watercolor paper and using my distress inks I painted it green with two shades of green and a large paint brush, then I cut the floral flourishes for sea weed. I stamped the sea shells, painted them and fussy cut them out, then arranged them using dimensional tape and glue. I used my Glitter pen on the sea weed and stamped my sentiment using archival ink.

Here's a close up of the shimmer of her tail and the glitter on the sea weed.

I will be entering this card in these challenges:
