Growing in Unity - Day 5 - She Mermaid

Wow, it's hard to believe that today is the final day of my Growing in Unity week. It seems to have just flown by! Today I wanted to finish up using a stamp set that is so beautiful...She Mermaid. I have an obsession with mermaids and this is probably my favorite....


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.


Well, that's a wrap!  I hope you've enjoyed this week as much as I have. Be sure to leave a final comment before leaving so you will be entered into the drawing for one of two fun stamp surprise packs from Unity Stamp Co! Thanks for hanging out with me this week...

  20. The perfect end to your GIU week Roni. Loving the colors and that fabulous sentiment too. The white pen adds great detail and I love the alcohol ink background. Did you just drop ink on the background and add blending solution? The only alcohol backgrounds I've made are with a felt pad and pouncing technique.
