I created my background by using the ink smooshing technique on a piece of watercolor paper. I used Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks. I stamped the cute mermaid called Whimsabella Mermaid Serene Seastar from Stamping Bella (she's the only mermaid I own from Stamping Bella, I couldn't believe that when I went digging for another one!) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics, fussy cut her, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I used sand dollar die cuts applied with adhesive and foam dimension stickers and tied a piece of twine around it. Sentiment is from a sticker sheet. Peace.
Oh, Jen, I LOVE your mermaid card! So clever to use sand dollars for the repeating elements of the TSOT sketch, and that beautiful smooshed technique for your background!! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at Try A Sketch On Tuesday!!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteThe ink technique you used in your background is beautiful and is so perfect for a sea background for your mermaid.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! But it looks like the themes for the Double Trouble don't match my card!
