For today I would like to play along with Sketch Saturday, Papercraft Challenge, Sunday Stamps and CASology. Here is my card for today, enjoy.
 |
| This gorgeous mermaid is from A Day for Daisies and is sponsoring Papercraft Challenges this week. I adore this image because of its artistic sketchy quality. I colored her using the color challenge from Sunday Stamps. The beautiful subtle colors seemed perfect for an ocean scene. |
 |
| The placement of the mermaid outside the scene looking in really enhances its design. Plus I grounded her on the sand for a bit of depth. The clouds and ocean are layering stamps from Hero Arts. I lightly sponged the sky using Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Sea Salt Distress Inks. I think the effect is just beautiful along with the stamped clouds really creates a realistic sky. |
 |
| The sun sparkles along the ocean using Embossing powder and Wink of Stella. These layering stamps are outstanding. They make it so easy to create these wonderful scenes. I wanted to lightly shadow the mermaid's tail, skin, and hair to look like it was dimensional. I think it turned out fairly nicely. |
Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.
