To create this card I started off by making the background which is a combination of Marabu Alcohol Inks and their new Color Shift Glitter AI - Violet - Blue - Green. The sentiment and mermaid were stamped on the panel with VFC Nocturne ink. I placed a mask over the mermaid and stenciled the seaweed then let all of the inks dry completely.
Once the inks were dry I colored the mermaid with Kuretake Zig Clean Brush Markers and a white paint pen. The panel was edged with black ink and mounted on the blue slimline card base.
I finished off the card by adding a variety of sequins here and there for some added sparkle and shine.
