Super excited to be back for my 2nd week as a guest designer for The Greeting Farm! I seem to have amassed quite a collection of mermaid stamps, and this one is one of my absolute favorites!
I created my background by blending Distress Inks through a mermaid-scale stencil, then I spritzed some Mica Spray Stain on it. I die-cut the seaweed from a previously-distressed piece of watercolor paper. I stamped the sentiment & anchor from Mermaid Anya 2 directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped Mermaid Bday Anya on a separate piece of cardstock, colored her with alcohol markers, Stickles Glitter Glue, and some Liquid Pearls for accent, fussy-cut her out and attached her with foam dimensional tape. I also paper-pieced her tail by stamping her again on another previously-distressed scrap piece of cardstock that already had a smaller mermaid scale stencil applied to it.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
Fab 'n' Funky #608 - Bright & Beautiful
We Love Stamping - Anything But Square
Stamping Sensations - Hand Colored Image/Anything Goes
Thank you so much and be sure to visit again to see my last guest designer post on January 28! Peace.
Such a sweet and pretty card, cute little mermaid, gorgeous stencilled background and lovely sparkle. Great idea to paper piece her tail with the stencilled scrap, it looks fabulous.
