Close To Being a Mermaid

These stamps from Impression Obsession have been hanging out on my studio table far too long… I have been dying to ink them up and create with them!

I stamped the sweet little mermaid with Versafine Onyx Black ink and quickly heat embossed it with clear detail embossing powder. I then proceeded to watercolor her with Distress Inks.

For the background I embossed the waves a few times with Versamark and white embossing powder. I then did a watercolor wash with Mermaid Lagoon and Crushed Olive Distress Inks. I played round with spritzing water, heat setting and soaking up the extra ink on the Ranger Craft Sheet. I love the dimension and layers this gives.

I then stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black Ink, can we just talk about how fabulous this sentiment is?! I am DEFINITELY a mermaid!

Lastly I finished off the card with a few sequins for some sparkle 🙂

Even though it is the middle of October, this girl is always dreaming of the beach and summer days- this card was a perfect way to make my creative heart happy!

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Totally Resistible is the theme so have fun! Just by playing along and linking up your project to the SSS Wednesday Challenge post you can qualify to enter a $50 shopping voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.
