Hey friends! Britney here with a mermaid lover’s birthday card featuring Mama Elephant’s Little Mermaiden Agenda Stamps and Dies. I mentioned in another blog post I have been using a lot of Mama Elephant’s newer items recently. I had so much fun making this card and I have fallen in love with Avery Elle’s Clear Shimmer Spray.
I cut two panels of Bristol Smooth Cardstock with the Scales Cover Die. Bristol paper makes ink blending a whole panel like this possible for me. I inked up my backgrounds using Distress Oxide Inks (Mermaid Lagoon (naturally), Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet). I spritzed my background with water and then sprayed it with Shimmer Spray. After everything was dry, I used the Circular Grid Die on one of my panels. I laid my circular grid over my other panel and laid out my sentiments from the Mini Everyday Messages Stamp Set. I used some clear ink and embossed my sentiments in white. I popped my circular grid up with foam tape.
Now it’s time to get started on my images. I inked up my images using Gina K Black Amalgam Ink and colored them with my Copics. I added highlights with my white gel pen and accents to the eyes with a black glaze pen. I added a little Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to the tails and the objects in their hands. I added Glossy Accents to the balloon to make it look nice and shiny. Lastly, I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in coordinating colors just to give the background a little more interest. I just love these little mermaidens!
I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it. I hope you have a wonderful day and hope you join me again for another blog post.
