Mer-May-zing

 

Hi crafty friends! It's Julee Tilman, popping in with a little inspiration. Since it's Mer-May I decided to create today's card with the Be a Mermaid stamp set. This set is one of my faves!

I knew I wanted a watery background, so pulled out some craft plastic and alcohol inks in blues and aquas and went to town! When it was to my liking I cut it out with the Diagonal Card Mat Die. Craft plastic is  notoriously difficult to die cut, but to my great surprise I only had to help a little with my craft knife.  I inlaid the alchohol inked pieces into the white cardstock frame, then adhered it to another layer of cardstock.

The sweet mermaid was colored with Copic markers, then I cut her with my Brother Scan 'n Cut using a .04" border.  The sentiment is embossed onto one of the dies from the Word Bubbles Dies.  I finished off with a few clear enamel dots for accent.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your day is mer-may-zing!
