Close To Being A Mermaid

10/12/2016

Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday ChallengeHey everyone! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Halloween Inspiration Challenge last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too. This week the challenge is Totally Resistible!

We are featuring Impression Obsession Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used! As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!

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!

Totally Resistible with Impression Obsession | shurkus.com

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!

    Totally “YOU” and totally cute. Of all the mermaids that came out last summer, this was one of the best. Your background is “sea-tastic!”

    Yaaaaaaaas queen! This is so fun and clever! Love that inky background, but I’m obsessed with the snarky sentiment.
