Magical Holiday Mermaid

One more for today - this one is for the following challenges:

AAA Colourful #23

A Cut Above - Anything Goes with Die Cuts

Cut it Up #346 - Anything Goes with a Die Cut

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes/Optional Sparkle & Shine

Stamping Sensations - Fairies & Fantasy

I created my background by using Distress Oxide Inks and Sprays on watercolor paper. Once it dried, I then applied more Distress Oxide Ink through my Ocean Stars stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off the entire store). I stamped the cute little mermaid from Clearly Besotted Stamps with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and glitter, fussy cut her, and attached her with foam dimensional tape. I die cut the word Magic from a previously distressed piece of watercolor paper. Peace.
