Salt Life, Penny Black

How adorable is Mimi the Mermaid!?! I just NEEDED her, and she was so much fun to color and create with!

I started by ink blending the front with Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks. Have you tried ink blending with them yet? Like BUTTA!

Then I splattered some water droplets on it with the Distress Sprayer and heat set.

For the inside of the card, I actually created it all on a separate cardstock panel, so that I could avoid the Copic markers bleeding through. I stamped and colored with Copic Markers. I then ink blended around the edges with the same Distress Oxide colors and repeated the water droplets like the front.

Using Lawn Fawn’s new Glue Tube I added some glue here and there and sprinkled Prisma Glitter. I also added some white gel pen details and lastly some white Nuvo Drops.

For the front, I die-cut a scalloped circle and decorated it with the “salt life” die. I layered 4-5 layers and pieces some yellow cardstock for the starfish.

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Add a Die-Cut! 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. Also if you are on instagram tag your photo with #ssswchallenge 🙂 There will be ONE lucky winner that will be chosen at random, it could be you!
