Always Take the Scenic Route & Make it Count

I've got another Mermay card today! This one is for the following challenges:

Sweet November FB Mermay Challenge

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Creative Artiste - Anything Mixed Media Goes

I took my time and really had fun making this one. I used the ink smooshing technique with oxide inks on watercolor paper, then let it dry. before lightly stamping a text stamp with white ink in random spots. I then applied texture paste through a mermaid scale stencil in the corner, let that dry and applied Lindy's Magicals in a similar color to it. I did some white paint splatters on the whole thing and added some pearl stickers. Mermaid digi is called Tidewater Tails: Flavia from Sweet November Stamps - I colored her with Copics and glitter, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Sentiment is a sticker from a Tim Holtz book.

And I have a fun little tag to share today - this one is for the following challenges:

Two Old Bats May - Anything Halloween or Mood Board

Tag-alongs & ATC's - Add Some Pink

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Things with Wings

I used the largest tag from the Gina K Designs Tag Trio to cut the tag out from Kraft cardstock. I used Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink through a spider web stencil and blended some more ink around the edges. I printed out the crow ATC from Wildflower Publishing and mounted it on black cardstock, roughing up the edges. I added a black feather die cut from black cardstock and a sticker sentiment from a Tim Holtz book. Peace.
