Good Morning everyone
Today im sharing 2 mermaid shutter cards. I was given this fab quirky mermaid stamps by funky fossil stamps and decided to team them up with my funky fossil weird fish stamps.
I used my tattered lace A4 shutter card die set for the base and die cut panels from sea themed paper. I stamped the mermaids and fish, coloured them with alcohol markers, added glossy accents to the eyes and cut them out. I then got arranging them on the base with pinflair glue gel. Stamped the sentiments from the mermaid set, cut them up, inked the edges and added.
I took the starfish printed paper and overstamped it with the puns from the stamp set with a green/blue ink. I stenciled areas with a glossy medium and scales stencil to add more interest to the background.
You can just make out the glossy stencilling behind the starfish here, when the light hits it, it is really shiny.
and the back of the card, another paper from the water themed pad from the works called 'fresh feelings' I added a white panel to the middle to write the greeting on.
