Be A Mermaid

In an effort to Use My Stash I decided to color up some digital images that I have printed. In the folder where I had those printed images I found an envelope full of partially colored stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie (and other companies) that I had used to create videos on adding texture to copic coloring, using stencils on your stamped images, etc. I decided that I would take some time and finish coloring the images and get them onto cards. 

There were A LOT of Kraftin' Kimmie images so I'm sure there will be several posts sharing the cards. For today's post I decided to create a card with the Be A Mermaid stamp set. 

I created the background for my card by putting some drops of several blue SU ink refills on my glassboard and then spritzed with water and then did some ink smooshing. I also grabbed some saran wrap to add some texture (crinkled chalk technique). Once I got it how I liked I spritzed it with some Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz for some shimmer. I die cut a circle out of my background and put it on an embossed white background. 

I had one mermaid with her dolphin friend colored already but I decided I wanted to add another mermaid and dolphin to the card so I colored them up.

The card needed something else so I pulled out the Scrappy Boy Stamps Under The Sea Scene Builder dies and added some sea plants. I die cut them out of white cardstock and then colored them with copics.

The photos don't really do this card justice as it's so pretty in real life.

Have a super day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
