I started by building the little mer-gnome from the Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. I painted her clothing and accessories with Shimmerz paints in aquas and purples, then did a bit of sponging with distress oxide inks. The hair and face parts were cut from the P13 Skin Tones pad and accented with Copics. Once she was all assembled I started in on the background.
I started with watercolor paper die cut with a stitched Rectangle 1 Die. I smooshed and splashed with mermaid lagoon, broken china, and salvaged patina distress inks. Next I started to add some teal texture paste with the Bubbles Stencil. I realized a little late that I didn't use pixie spray to secure my stencil, so I had a bit of bleed through. No worries, I just used a baby wipe to wipe off most of it. Once things were dry, I offset the stencil and added some white texture paste. I love the texture it created.
I gave her a little ground and some sea plants using die cuts to complete the scene. I finished off with a sentiment from the Make a Splash Gnomie set, embossed in white onto colored cardstock, then cut with the coordinating outline dies.
