SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #140 - S is for Sea

(Shout out to Sister Lee for her astonishing graphic arts skillz!)

Hello and happy Saturday to you.

It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight is brought to you by the

letter S, as in SEA!

We want to see your ocean themed projects.

This is a card I made for one of my sisters a couple months

ago, but it fit this challenge so perfectly that I saved

posting about it until now. LOL! 

and the inside:

I bought the fish scale plate and the mermaid stamp earlier this year, and

this was the first time using them. I started by creating my underwater

background using Dylusions spray inks on watercolor paper, then adding

some Aquamarine Glimmer Mist over that for additional sparkle.

While that dried, I colored and fussy cut my mermaid, and die cut the fish

scale plate. I added some Diamond Stickles to the centers of the flowers

in her hair, and added Wink of Stella to her bottom half.

This card is sooooo shimmery IRL!! I cut up a group of rhinestones

and added them because to me they looked like air bubbles.

A simple sentiment on the inside finishes my card.

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Sea challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! We'd love to sea what you

come up with. My Sisters and our reigning Queen Rina have created some fabulous underwater

masterpieces, so please visit their blogs to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous day!
