Deep Blue Sea

Hello,

The code word for the current challenge at Addicted to CAS is SEA so I decided to get my mermaid stencil out for a play:

I inked through the stencil and clear embossed the image before brushing shades of blue across the corner of the card and building it up to create a watery background.  I used my messy dots stencil to create the row of bubbles and a foliage stamp in shades of green and blue to create the sea weed.  The sentiment is from Visible Image.  I added some touches of white pen to create some highlights.

The stencils are  available in my Folksy store:

Thank you for stopping by,

Mermaids

Hello!

The lovely Ruth from Crafting While the Baby Naps has recently been making cards featuring lots of sweet mermaids and that got me thinking about making a mermaid stencil....

Here is what I came up with:

I inked a panel in blue distress inks and then inked over the panel with my Messy Dots stencil in the same colours.  Then I inked through my pearl seeking mermaid silhouette with black ink before embossing over the top with clear holographic embossing powder to add some shimmer.  I simply stamped an old sentiment from Hero Arts along the edge of the panel.  I shall link my card up at Simon's Monday Challenge which is to use a stencil.

I inked through my sitting mermaid in distress oxides before using the mask and inking round her with the messy dots.  Whilst the mask was in place I drew in the detail around her arms with a white paint pen. 

 I hope you like these designs.  The stencils are available in my Folksy store:
