Hello from the Ocean Side

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a super fun ocean creation I created with the June Missy Whidden Color Kit from Shimmerz Paints and the new Hey Gillfriend stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas. I am seriously crushing on the ocean vibes you can get with the two bluish sprays in this month's Missy kit. That Hint of Mint spray is my new favorite color, but it's exclusive to the kit, so if you want some seriously awesome aqua spray, head on over and pick up one of the kits before they're gone.

To begin this card, I paired that glorious Hint of Mint Spritz with the Chance of Rain Spritz, spraying, smooshing and splashing to create some deep ocean vibes. To give it even more depth, I splattered on some It's Mint to Be Shimmerz. Holy shine, Batman!

Once my background was how I wanted it, I pulled out Hey Gillfriend and colored up this sweet little mermaid with Copic markers. I added some Angel Wings Shimmerz accents for a bit of sparkle and then coated with some crystal lacquer for a glossy finish. Mmmmm..... good!

I imagined my little mermaid sitting on a coral reef deep in the ocean, so stamped the coral images several times across the page, embossing with white puff embossing powder for some extra texture.  I tucked in a few little stamped and colored seashells from the stamp set and some shell confetti from the By the Sea Confetti Mix.

Next I moved on to the sentiment. I wanted to use one of the sweet Dotz included in the kit, and decided on a simple hi. To frame it, I die cut some circles from paper I had colored with Chance of Rain and Hint of Mint sprays respectively, then layered them together, popping in a few little sea creatures to add to the whimsy.  I finished with a few pearl accents on the scalloped edges. There you have it. If you haven't picked up this kit yet, you better hurry. It's a definite keeper!
