This months
challenge at Noor Design is "Anything Goes". I'm running behind (as always) but here's my contribution to the challenge which started on the 1st April and runs for a month.
When I saw this digi stamp on Etsy I couldn't click the buy it button fast enough. I swear I sprained my clicker finger, not clever when I spend so much time 1-clicking ebooks on Amazon lol. The stamp is called
Little Mermaid, and it’s been shaded by the artist so makes colouring an absolute breeze.
Copic colours used:
Skin – E13, 11, 00, 000, R20
Hair – a light touch of C3 and 1
Tail - C9, BG15, 13, 11, 10, 000
Rock - C5, 3, 1, 0; E35, 30
Flowers – R85, 81, RV000; YG67, G20
I hope the texture that I added with modelling paste and a stencil is showing up in the photo below, as well as the die cut bubbles that I filled with glossy accents. I zapped the organza bow with a heat gun once the glue had dried to shrivel it a bit, I love the movement this technique gives to the ribbon
The little turtle was coloured with Walnut Stain distress ink whilst it was still in the die, then I gave it a coat of glossy accents to highlight the shell. Love the seaweed, I think I’ll be using this for leaves a fair bit.
I really love how this card turned out, I had such fun playing with different techniques – things I've been meaning to try for ages and never got round to. I must be feeling better lol.
