I love to color, so couldn't wait to pull out my Copics to color up this sweet mermaid image from Mermaid to Be Friends. I die cut her with the coordinating dies, then added a bit of glitter to the seashell in her hair.
To give her a little scene, I smooshed some greens onto a piece of watercolor paper, then used the Seaweed Stencil as a backdrop over the smooshing. I cut this with a stitched rectangle, and matted with another stitched rectangle. For accent, I added a few clear enamel dots around the panel for the feeling of bubbles. The sentiment is from Mermaid to Be Friends and cut with the coordinating outline dies.
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. I finished off with a soft blue card base that I dry embossed with a bubble like embossing folder.
