Mermaid for Each Other IPC 102

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a new INKY PAW’S CHALLENGE!

Check out this fun sketch we have for you to use.

Summer is here, so I decided to go in a beachy direction.

This card all starts with the background.

I used 3 types of Distress Oxide Ink and spattered them on a paint pallet.

Spray on a little water, and smash down your precut cardstock onto the ink.

Make sure you dry your inky creation with a heat gun right away

to keep the colors from over blending.

While that was drying, I turned my attention to my purr-maids form the

Purr-maid Newton Stamp set.

I stamped and colored my images in using matching colors from the background.

I kept the background elements simple; die cutting out 2 rectangle panels.

One of the panels, I embossed with the

 Tumbling Hearts Stencil.

The second panel I inked in with Abandoned Coral Oxide Ink

Then layer the two elements on top of each other.

A splash of a different color and the bottom element.

was provided by the seahorse and sentiment from the same stamp set.

After I assembled all the elements for the card, I used one of

my favorite crafty items….. EVER!!! Frosted Lace Stickles

This Stickle adds a whole lot of sparkle without

taking away from the color underneath.

That is my inspiration for this sketch.

Here is the crafty aftermath of this card!

Now it is your turn!
