Waving Hello from Under the Sea

Hi!
Samantha here, and today I'm sharing an adorable little card featuring one of the mermaids from the new Mermaid for You stamp set! 


Oh I just love how it came out!
I colored the images with Distress Markers and then fussy cut them out! I added some dot details by dotting in areas with the marker I had watercolored with, as well as a shade darker and a white gel pen! I have to say, I'm totally smitten with that for underwater critters - it looks like they're shimmering under the water!!! I may have colored about...50 other water images like this...ha!


I created the backgound with Ken Oliver Color Bursts and then sprayed water along the edges of the color, so it would really soften them up - totally in LOVE with that look! 

I finished the card with a little Spectrum Noir glitter pen in clear on the crown and sea horse fins! :)

Thanks for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me!
Hope this card made you smile and inspired you to get watercoloring!
