Mermaid Hair...Don't Care!

 Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!
Today I am back with another fun card with a Mermaid theme 🐠


This card actually came about because I was practicing my Ink Blending. 
I always seem to struggle a bit with that so practice, practice, practice!! I started out by blending Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock. Once I had the color blend that I was trying for, I flicked a bit of White Gold Gansai Tambi Metallic Watercolor onto my cardstock and set it to the side to dry. I thought my ink blend looked a bit like water so I pulled out some Mermaid stamps and decided to color up this sweet girl from The Rabbit Hole Designs. Once I had her and her fishy friends colored up with my Copic Markers, I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out. I made a card base from some white cardstock and added a doodle border with a black Micron pen around the perimeter. I cut my Ink Blending piece into a 2" strip and adhered it to the center of my card front. I heat embossed my greeting onto a piece of black cardstock with some white embossing powder and popped it up, along with my Mermiad, onto my card with some foam tape along. I positioned my fish to set a scene and completed my card with some white Nuvo Drops.


I love how this turned out and I think she is just the sweetest!

Copic Colors Used:
**Skin: E21, E50, E51, R20, R00**
**Hair: E50, E31, E35**
