Making Waves, Evelin T Designs

Hello everyone! I am wicked excited to be guest designing for Evelin T Designs this month! You all know I am a part-time mermaid, so, it was only fitting for my first card to share with you be a mermaid card! Even better that this is a “purr-maid” as I have 3 kitties who keep me company in my studio.

Making Waves, Evelin T Designs

For this card, I used the Under the Sea: Merfriends and the Under the Sea: Background stamps for this card. I did some no-line watercoloring with Distress Inks on Distress Watercolor Cardstock.

I stamped all the images with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then proceeded to color them in with various Distress Ink colors. It’s so fun how the stamped line will take on the property of the Distress Ink color that you are painting it with. Some of the items were stamped directly onto the background, while some were stamped on another piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and fussy cut-out, then added to this underwater scene.

I love creating cards with kitties, and I often color them to look like one of my boys, but this time I decided to color this cutie a soft brown. Shhh… don’t tell my kitties ok? I absolutely LOVE this sentiment “be a mermaid and make waves” – such a fun message of encouragement!

I also added a touch of chunky glitter here and there along the seafloor as I often do. I hope you enjoy this card, and it inspires you to create something! I invite you to also pop on to this post where I am sharing another card with some Evelin T Designs goodies! Have a fabulous day!
