Mermaid Scene

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a mermaid card!  For this underwater scene, I used all dies, no stamps.


I used a lot of dies from my stash, too many to list here.  I sponged some Distress Ink on the mermaid's hair and skin, and I layered her tail, bikini, and flower twice to add dimension.  I used a black fineliner to draw her face, following the indentation on the die-cut. I adhered lots of sequins and gems to simulate bubbles.  I had a lot of fun making this card!  Here's another photo at an angle so you can see the sparkle.


The UnstampaBelles has a challenge theme of Magic this month, with a twist of Disney, and I was inspired by The Little Mermaid.

That's lots of die cutting, my friend! Wonderful scene. My niece has red hair and lives near the ocean and she thought she was the little mermaid when she was little.
