Sending You Oceans of Love

Hello crafty Friends! 

It’s May and you know what that means!! It’s MerMay!! I couldn't end the month without a mermaid card!  I love anything mermaid and The Greeting Farm has some fin-tastic mermaid stamps sets!! 

For today’s card I used some stamps from  a couple of sets; the adorable Little Mermaids and the whale from Mermaid Fun.   

I started by taping the white cardstock to just leave a band.  I used Distress Ink Oxides to create the ocean by blending the colors. I used a wave stencil at the end to add some soft waves.  I sprayed with water to give it a distress look.  

 

 I colored all the images with Copic markers and die cut them with my Scan& Cut.  I kept a monochromatic look throughout the images.  

All were added with foam adhesive for some dimension.   I stemped the sentiment in a dark blue.  Finished the card by adding glitter and glass enamel dots.  Love how it turned out! 

XOXO 

Little Mermaids Fun

 Good morning TGF friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm Blog sharing a cute Mermaid card.  I know it’s not Mer-May anymore but I couldn’t resist coloring these cuties!

I used the super cute set Little Mermaids and the whale is from the Mermaid Fun set.  

I created a fun background inspired by a mermaid class I took online at Creative Chick.   I ink blended the backgrounds with Distress Oxides (Salvage Patina, Kirsch Flamingo and Scattered Straw).   I used Lawn Fawn wave dies to create the wave borders.  I sprayed the backgrounds with water to create a bubble effect.  Last, I splattered some Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust. 

All the images were colored with Copic markers and cut with my Scan & Cut.  Most were popped with 3M foam adhesive.  Added a bunch of Prisma glitter on the images and some dewdrop glass beads to finish this ocean scene.

Thank you for stopping by!!

Hugs!
