Today I thought we'd go for a swim with this lovely mermaid Zelith from Lavinia Stamps.
I started off with one of the background papers I made the other day on the Elements Inks post. I stamped Zelith with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink then embossed with black embossing powder. She was watercolored with a lovely purple metallic paint.
Next I tore a piece of paper and inked up the ocean floor; I then stamped the Sunken Ship and various sea plants. The fish were added and bubbles were stamped here and there to fill in some areas. A bit of penwork and glitter came next. Finally I stamped and painted the clamshell which was added to the sea bottom.
This panel was then popped onto a white mat and blue card base.
