YOU ARE MERMAZING!

I have been having a lot of fun with this particular stamp set from Technique Junkies. The images and sentiments are so cute I just can't seem to get enough of them. Today I am sharing a card I created using the mermaid image from the Oceans of Love, Set of 9 (SS119).

Swirly Waves (S802)

I also love the background image! It's a perfect backdrop for this adorable mermaid and turtle. 

To create the card, I started with a turquoise A2 card base. On a white piece of cardstock, using my trusty MISTI stamping platform, I stamped the mermaid image with black ink. I also stamped the image onto some masking paper and trimmed that out. I placed the mask over the stamped image, then stamped the Swirly Waves image using Aladine Dye Izink in Mer Du Sud (South Sea). Then, with an ink blending brush, I added a lighter blue in some areas to soften the stark white waves. I added a light turquoise panel to the back of that and attached it to the card base.

Using my favorite coloring pencils, Faber-Castell Polychromos, I colored in the mermaid and turtle image. I've been practicing a lot with these pencils. I hope you notice some improvement! lol. I then added a beautiful shimmer to the mermaid tale using a Nuvo Glitter Gloss Aqua Pen. Just look how cool that is!

 

I then stamped the sentiment using black ink to finish off the card. I have to say, this is one of my favorite cards of late. I just love this stamp set! (Did I mention that already?) Here are the stamp set images:
